“To be or not to be that is the question” ( Shakespeare III.i.64). In this famous Shakespearean soliloquy, Hamlet ponders a captivating question that presents itself to 5.7 million people annually (Critical Care Statistics). This frightening statistic describes the amount of people on the precipice of life or death. The elementary answer to this question is simply life support. It has the propensity to sustain life for an extended amount of time and even revive those who have fallen victim to…

Human body Today I will be talking about how the systems work together. One example is the the skeletal and the muscular system, they work together by Your bones and muscles work together through a series of impulses and signals communicated between the brain and skeletal muscles. In order to move, the nervous system then sends signals a skeletal muscle to contract. The muscular system is the mechanical force behind the digestive system. Beginning when you take a bite, your muscular system aids…

Muscles in a way are the most important parts of the body. If we didn’t have muscles it would be impossible to move around, and do things. Muscles make everything we do possible, but there is more to muscles than meets the eye. Yes there are the kinds of muscles which allow us to walk and pick up things, but there are also different kinds of muscles which if anything are equally important. Before we dive into the kinds of muscles and their functions, let’s get a better idea of how muscles work.…

The two main neck muscles are the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius, and are responsible for the gross motor movement in the muscular system of the head, neck and shoulders. The sternocleidomastoid muscle is a paired muscle, located at the front and on each side of the neck. It is one of the largest and most superficial cervical muscles. The primary actions of the muscle are rotation of the head to the opposite side and flexion of the neck. The trapezius is one of the biggest shoulder and…

Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy is a hereditary issue portrayed by dynamic muscle degeneration and shortcoming that happens more in males. It is one of nine sorts of solid dystrophy. DMD quality that can be acquired in families in an X-connected latent style, yet it frequently happens in individuals from families without a known family history of the condition. The quality is the second biggest quality to date, which encodes the muscle protein, dystrophin. Young men with Duchenne solid dystrophy…

When you lift a heavy weight (be it yourself or a barbell), your muscles contract. That contraction begins when your nervous system sends a signal to your muscle fibers. When a movement is performed over and over again, and the muscle fibers repeatedly receive an identical signal, a more efficient neuromuscular motor pattern develops. The process by which neurons become more efficient is called myelination. Through regular practice of a movement, a fatty white substance forms a sheath around…

There are many different parts of skeletal muscles that are important to the function of the muscles. Each muscle is made up of a lot of muscle fibers. Each muscle fiber has a thin coating covering the fiber called the sarcolemma. The muscle fibers also have a cytoplasmic type substance called sarcoplasm. Sarcoplasm contains large amount of glycosomes and myoglobin. Myoglobin is a protein that stores oxygen inside the muscle fibers. The muscle fibers contain striations that are made up of…

The muscular system is the system of the body that contains smooth, skeletal, and cardiac muscle tissue. This system contains a variety of functions including movement of the body and of materials throughout the body, maintenance of posture, and heat production. Muscles are the only tissue in the body that have the ability to contract and therefore move the other parts of the body. The muscular system is important because without it, life would completely stop. Muscles produce not only…

With CPR and First Aid training you could learn how to bring someone back to life, help them stop choking, or more simple procedures such as making a tourniquet to stop bleeding. If CPR is performed close to a cardiac arrest, choking, or whatever it may be can triple a person’s chance of survival. “Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States” (Monette, Michael. 2012). If teachers take a stand to advise students to be bold and encourage…
