order for a muscle to contract requires a nerve impulse to arrive at the neurotransmitter junction. This then causes a release of acetylcholine (ACh) from the presynaptic terminal. By binding with its receptors on the membrane of the muscle fiber‚ which opens sodium channels generating an action potential that spreads through the length of the fiber‚ stimulating release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Calcium is what activates the contractile mechanism‚ causing the muscle fiber to shorten

As the culture evolves‚ so does its language” Iraki‚ 2005‚ p.5). Latin is a perfect example of a language that was altered heavily due to outside forces. All can

people today suffer from adrenal fatigue to some degree or another. Often‚ they have no idea. Because this condition can develop gradually and begin causing problems well before it qualifies for an official medical diagnosis of an ailment recognized by conventional medicine‚ it frequently goes unrecognized. Even if people go see a doctor about their complaints and get testing‚ the tests come back as "normal." Things have to get extremely bad before adrenal fatigue is recognized by the typical medical

MANY PROCESSES MUST TAKE place within the skeletal muscle fibres in order for muscle contraction to occur. The cross bridge cycle‚ process by which the muscle length is shortened as myosin heads‚ extending from the myosin filaments‚ interact cyclically in a rowing motion with the actin filament (Rayment et al. 1993)‚ is one of the crucial mechanical events required. The mechanism is initiated when an ATP molecule is bound to a myosin head. An enzyme within the head. known as ATPase‚ hydrolyzes the
