portray the systems by which muscle glycogen is separated to glucose for use in glycolysis. Depict how a nerve motivation is transmitted along its axon and clarify what are points of interest of fat over sugar for fuel stockpiling in the body is. At long last, I will depict the essential structure of the heart and the essential functions of the blood. (Baggett, n.d.) Discuss the relationship between…
Three methods were comprised to determine the unknown but a set of other solution were used to help as indicators to match the unknown solution’s results. It consisted of biuret, iodine and benedict solution. Iodine solution is used to determine if the source had starch or glycogen. If the source had glycogen consisted inside, there would be a reddish-brown precipitation occurring (Daniel Luzon Morris,1946). Iodine can also react with the starch which could potentially create a The colour of…
They can look at the amount of, and different types of muscle fibers found in thoroughbreds, the muscles ability to adapt to high intensive exercise, the effects from changing the inclination the horse is exercising on, and if age and gender affect the way the muscles react. The thoroughbred horse stems back to a founder stallion that makes up 95% paternal and 9 to 10 founder mares that can make up 72% of the maternal lineage. The characteristics looked for in good race horses are large lung…
substances like glucose and oxygen to the muscles throughout aerobic exercise. This is important as during the exercise period ATP is needed by the muscle cells to carry out the contractions. This occurs through respiration. Respiration is crucial as the cells cannot get energy directly from glucose, hence the ATP production. “ATP is synthesised from ADP and an inorganic phosphate using energy from the breakdown of glucose. The energy is stored in this phosphate bond.” (Parsons, 2009, p104) ATP…
put yourself in an external environment where you are doing something which causes a change in your blood glucose levels. Diabetes is the most common disease which occurs if homeostasis is not functioning properly. If a person has type 1 diabetes it means that one of the steps in homeostasis isn’t functioning properly and the pancreas can no longer secrete insulin, so their body can no longer decrease the blood glucose level. Resulting in them having to inject the insulin into their body…
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…
Worth the Risk? Performance Enhancing Drugs (PEDs) are substances used to improve any form of performance in humans and boost self-confidence. Athletes and bodybuilders take PEDs. Military personnel use them to enhance combat performance. PEDs came along in the beginning of the Olympics Games (776-393 BC) because athletes were concentrated on winning. Many athletes wanted the edge over their rivals and wanted to make sure their performance was going to be the best it could be. A growing…
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy The body is like one huge scale that needs constant conservation to maintain balance for a stable state of survival. Homeostasis is the component that helps the body maintain balance. There are four core principles that help homeostasis keep balance which are, feedback loops, relationship of structure and function, gradients, and cell to cell communication. “Muscular homeostasis is cell to cell communication that coordinate their functions and maintain homeostasis…
The results from the first experiment confirmed the hypothesis, to a certain extent, in that increasing stimulus strength will increase the force generated by the gastrocnemius muscle and visa versa till 0.2V, where the force germinated starts to decrease. As shown in Table 2 and Figure 2, the strength of the stimulus started from 0.00 V to 1.00V with 0.05 V and 0.10V intervals. At 0.10V the force generated by the muscle increases rapidly from 0mN to 288.33mN. The force generated by the muscle…
ensure proper digestion to prevent conditions such as sluggishness, vomiting, gastrointestinal discomfort, and cramping (Potgieter; 2013). If an athlete did not have time for a big pre-competition meal, it is especially important to consume carbohydrates during exercise. According to the American College of Sport Medicine, during moderate to high intensity exercise lasting more than an hour, it is beneficial to maintain blood glucose levels by consuming 30-60 grams of carbohydrates per hour. The…
