From the time of birth to adulthood, the amount of bones in the human body decreases as they are amalgamated together to construct larger and sturdier bones. Adults have two hundred and six bones in the body; On the other hand, babies are born with approximately three hundred bones. The axial skeleton consists of eighty bones, which are part of the skull, hyoid bone, vertebral column and thoracic cage. Additionally, the appendicular skeleton consists of one hundred and twenty six bones that are…
Case Study: Hereditary Canine Spinal Muscular Atrophy Genetic Background Hereditary canine spinal muscular atrophy (HCSMA) is proven to be an autosomal-dominate disease that affects most noticeably the Brittany spaniel (Pinter MJ, Waldeck RF, Wallace N, & Cork LC, Motor Unit Behavior in Canine Motor Neuron Disease, 1995). HCSMA originated as a spontaneous mutation in the Survivor Motor Neutron gene found in the purebred Brittany spaniel population (Ericsson. A & Rubin. C, 2012). Due to the…
1. KAPALBHATI Kapal=skull; Bhati=illuminating Kapalbhati Pranayama is a breathing techniques that exert profound physiological effects on cardiovascular, and mind also. KAPALABHATI PRANAYAMA NEEDS BREATHE COORDINATION AT HIGHER RATE AND THENCE, HIGHER RATE OF METABOLISM MUSCLE ACTIVITY, THAT MADE STRENGTHENING OF THE METABOLISM MUSCLES AND RESULTED IN IMPROVEMENT OF RESPIRATORY ORGAN OPERATE. IN KAPALBHATI PRANAYAMA WE EXHALE WITH STROKE. MOST IMPORTANT POINT TO REMEMBER, IS THAT WHEN YOU ARE…
Visceral, Cardiac and Skeletal Muscle. • Visceral Muscle: Visceral muscles are found in the stomach, intestines and blood vessels. Visceral muscles make your organs contract and move substances through the organ. Visceral muscles are an involuntary muscle. It is also known as “smooth muscle” because of its appearance when it is viewed under a microscope. • Cardiac Muscle: Cardiac muscle can only be found in your heart. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout your body. Cardiac muscle is…
skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle tissue Common things between the structures of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle The skeletal tissue and cardiac muscle tissue both are part of muscle tissue. The cells in cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle are made up of fibres. The fibres in both of these muscles are striated. The fibres in both of these tissue have a similar kind of shape and appearance. Differences between the structures of cardiac muscle and skeletal muscle The cardiac muscle contains…
Whether you are sitting at a desk doing a physiology lab report, or playing a sport in the park, you are constantly using muscles to accomplish those tasks. The fingers that are used to type the lab report rely on individual myofibrils to contract and cause movement. However, this mechanism occurs on a microscopic level, and predominantly in the myofibers. When a motor neuron experiences an action potential it releases acetylcholine to the motor-end plate which binds to a receptor on the…
connected to two or more bones by tendons giving it the ability to contract and therefore inducing movement to a specific part of the body. The muscles within the human body are differentiated into three classes known as skeletal, smooth, and finally cardiac. Smooth muscle is an involuntary muscle (under control of the autonomic nervous system) that is mainly found within the walls and organs that participate in digestion such as the stomach, intestines and esophagus, but can also be found…
Although human and frog hearts do not look the exact same, they do act very similar. Human hearts have four chambers: two atria and two ventricles. Contrarily, frog hearts have only three chambers: two atria and one ventricle. Frogs are helpful in scientific research of the heart and its many functions because human hearts can obviously not be used. In this case, the frog hearts are helpful in determining the effects of different chemicals on the heart. Certain chemicals and agents effect the…
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. In this essay, I will be explaining muscles. There are many interesting facts about the muscles. Muscles are the "engine" that your body uses to propel itself. Did you also know that there are three primary muscle fiber types in humans? Type I, Type IIA, Type…
Cardiac Muscle fibres are long cylinder shaped cells that usually have one or two nuclei, they are centrally located within the cell. The end of the fibres are split into a number of small branches in which the ends of which connect to similar branches of adjacent cells giving a three dimensional cytoplasmic connection network throughout the tissue. In between the muscle fibres, there is a delicate connective tissue, similar to the endomysium of the skeletal muscle which supports the extremely…
