Glycogen

Amauris Lopez HPE 313 Take home Test 1 After the first 2.5 minutes Glycolysis follows ATP-PC (Adenosine Triphosphate (Phosphocreatine) ATP-PC system is the primary system behind very short powerful movements used for short durations of 10 seconds. The ATP-PC system does not produce any lactic acid or use oxygen it is an alactic anaerobic energy system. This system facilitates all short powerful movements, such as the average tennis rally that typically last about 5 to 10 seconds with 2 to 3…

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…

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…

Medical Diagnosis: Weber-Carstens et al. (2010, p. 1) reported that diagnosis of CIM is made either clinical evidence of muscle weakness after removal of sedation as characterized by weak and flaccid extremities, in addition, electromyography (EMG) and muscle biopsy can be performed to distinguish between the different types of ICU-acquired weakness. John and Bapat (2015, p. 157) believed that EMG and muscle biopsy is impractical to perform in the ICU; therefore, he asserted that…

The mean reflex conduction time for Achilles tendon light tap was 48.1ms, for Achilles tendon medium tap it was 125.25ms, and for Achilles tendon heavy was 167.5ms. The Reflex conduction velocity was calculated to be 28.15m/s for Achilles tendon light tap, 10.74m/s for Achilles tendon medium tap, and 8.02m/s for Achilles tendon heavy tap. According to the literature (Human Physiology An Integrated Approach 6th Ed pg. 339) the Achilles tendon light tap was 28.15m/s which was in the range between…

• The body maintains dynamic constancy, or homeostasis, of the internal environment through the use of antagonistic effectors and negative feedback loops. • The hormones, glucagon and insulin, work to manage blood sugar within normal levels and reduce fluctuations. For instance, when blood sugar levels rise, insulin hormones are released from the pancreas to guide these glucose molecules out of the blood stream and into the body’s muscle, adipose, and liver cells, along with most other cells in…

our blood sugar level or after we have just eaten. After being made by the beta cells in the pancreas, insulin travels down to the body 's tissue cells to be taken up by the body 's cell. Insulin also stimulates glycogen formation in the liver. In the liver, glucose is converted to glycogen which can then be stored in the body for later uses. The uptake of the sugar by the body’s cells reduces the blood glucose sugar in the body, bringing back…

Introduction Some people believe that we have only one type of muscle in our bodies that help us with all different types of tasks, however; not only do our bodies have different muscle types, they also contain different muscle fibers that are used for different activities. Skeletal muscle contain three types of muscle fibers: slow twitch, fast twitch oxidative, and fast twitch glycolytic. Most muscles in our bodies have different combinations of these muscle fibers, although our body recruits…

Introduction: The importance of this research paper is to clarify, discuss and understand the issues that impacts beast meat quality in poultry. The three main issues the poultry industry has been faced with is white striping of breast muscle, woody breast, and deep pectoral myopathy. These issues is not a medical or health issue for humans’ consumptions but, a quality issue of consumption. The white strip of breast muscle is strips parallel to the muscle fiber. It is mostly found in breast…

One thing that many living things require is the need for muscles in order to function. Humans are composed of more than half their body weight of muscle (Saunders, 2016). Muscles are the building blocks of an abundant amount of functions. For example, muscles are required in order to help many organisms eat, protect themselves, most movements, etc. The basic unit of muscles is referred to as a sarcomere, and when it contracts it excretes a force. The contraction is the result of the interaction…
