Is it important to understand the structure of our muscles? And if so how could this improve the results of our muscle exercise routine? One wise thing to do when deciding the muscles exercise technique we are going to adopt is to find out the type of structure a muscle is made of, muscles as we know are formed by either a slow-contract structure or a fast-contract structure, for example a muscle made of high level of slow-contracts structure reacts more favorably to high repetitions, so high level of slow-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 15 or over repetitions to allow the muscle to be enough time under pressure. Fast-contracts structured muscles are more adequately trained in the 6 to 12 repetitions.…
The goal of this experiment is to understand muscle cell development by studying the proliferation and differentiation progress of C2C12 cells, which are myoblast line isolated from the thigh muscle of adult mice that can be induced to differentiate into skeletal muscle-like cells. C2C12 cells have been subcultured under conditions such as high serum media to maintain their undifferentiated state before they reach 100% confluency. Once the cells reached 100% confluency, they will turn on muscle specific gene such as MyoD that will promote expression of p21 to block cell cycle and will drive differentiation into myotubes. Complete differentiation to myotubes requires shifting the serum to 2% horse serum in the media to slow down the proliferation progress. In this experiment, we will plate the C2C12 cells in three different densities on one 6-well plate and two 8-chamber slides.…
The Musculoskeletal system is a combination of the Muscular and Skeletal systems working together but under the control of the nervous system. All three systems are needed inorder to create movement. The Skeletal system is made up of 206 bones which are solid in structure which is necessary to support the body and also protect the many muscles and vital organs such as the Heart, Lungs and Brain.…
Proteins are complex molecules that serve a variety of functions within the body. Proteins are made up of subunits called amino acids. There are several different types of amino acids such as lysine, aspartic acid, and histidine. Each type of amino acids have their own specific group called R-groups attached to them, this causes them to behave chemically different. The group on the amino acid histidine cause the amino acid to be basic; this feature of histidine makes it have a specific purpose in proteins, such as binding other molecules or atoms to a protein and also participating in a catalytic triad.…
alternatives to synthetic growth hormones The Fastest Trick to Gain Muscle Mass For some people increasing muscle mass is easy, whereas some have to strive harder to increase the muscle definition. You are working 3 to 4 times in a week; you are seriously doing all your exercise mentioned in your training schedule. On the contrary, you are getting slow gains or no gains at all. Whatever the case is, it will make you frustrated and search for different things on the Internet. This is the time when you may ask different questions to fitness instructors as well as dietitians.…
Lipids are natural occurring organic compounds that include fats, oils, waxes, cholesterol, and have some of the same elements as carbohydrates. They are used for storing energy, and as a structural component for cell membranes. Proteins are a large class of biological molecules. They perform multiple functions such as DNA replication, and transporting molecules from one location to…
Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Depending on the anatomical position of the body part, certain prefixes, and suffixes are utilized in order to find its location verbally. These prefixes and suffixes can be described by the: size of the muscle, location of the muscles, direction of the muscle fibers, amount of origins, shape of a muscle, and location of a muscle origin/insertion.…
Do you know what a muscle fiber is? A muscle fiber is a single muscle tissue cell. There are three types of muscles. The skeletal, visceral, and cardiac. The skeletal muscles are voluntary, while the visceral muscles are involuntary.…

The humorous in the upper arm and the femur in the lower leg are examples of long bones in the arms and legs. Also there is the ulna in the forearm and the tibia and fibula in the lower leg. Long bones function is to support weight of the body. The femur is the longest bone in the body. Long bones also include the metatarsals, phalanges and the metacarpals.…
Proteins may be though as a tiny, little machines which convert amino acids in the body into new specialized proteins. This is…
The Impact of Protein In order for the human body to function properly, an individual needs a variety of different sources. Proteins are considered a key source that is needed in the human body and are essential to one’s diet. This is true because proteins inhabit a spot in every cell in an individual’s body. Therefore, individual’s need to consume a large amount of protein in order to maintain good health. Proteins are essential to a variety of different functions for one’s body but are said to help with muscle growth and maintenance, bone health, and even weight management.…
What Should a Pesco-vegetarian Expect to Achieve? To become a pesco-vegetarian is challenging in the beginning, because meat is delicious, and many of us are not readily or willing to cut it out of our lifestyles. Reducing and eliminating the meat that we consume is an easy first step towards increased health.…
