Muscular dystrophy

Skeletal muscles are made of three different muscle fiber types. All muscle fibers are having varying amounts of mitochondria in them. Mitochondria helps the muscle be able to manufacture ATP for contraction. To differentiate between the three muscles is based on their make up. Slow oxidative (SO) or type one muscle fibers are composed with the most mitochondria to help them be fatigue resistant. SO muscle fibers stain the darkest because the enzyme targeted by the stain is most abundant in this…

Building muscles are very common amongst the youngsters. Handsomely build muscles give vigor to your body. The building of muscles is not an easy task. Some people might think that going to the gym and working on muscles for hours will do the trick. No doubt, exercising continuously in the gym is the pre-requisite of building up good muscles but this is not enough; your diet also plays a vital role. Balanced diet in perfect quantity is the basic requirement of your body, supported with the…

attached opposite to each other of a lever. The two muscles are the flexor tibiae and extensor tibiae. In locust, though the two muscles are responsible for the flexing of the limb, passive forces exist and enhance the effect of the two opposing muscular forces. Passive force resists the extensor muscle, and if the muscle is relaxed the force would lead to movement of the leg. In the resting angle of a locust limb, there is a more passive force in the extensor tibiae than the flexor tibiae (Ache…

CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 PROBLEM STATEMENT: Canny Wheelchairs augment the capacities of customary fueled gadgets by presenting control and navigational insight. These gadgets can facilitate the lives of numerous handicapped individuals, especially those with serious impedances by expanding their scope of portability. For debilitated individuals human found a wheel seat which can be moved by utilizing hands for the individuals who don't have legs. Be that as it may, the people groups…

Skeletal System The skeletal system is made up of 206 bones. It also includes cartilage, ligaments and tendons. The two main parts of the skeletal system are the axial skeleton with 80 bones and the appendicular skeleton with 126 bones. The primary purpose of the skeletal system is to provide the body with support, protection, movement, storage for minerals and lipids, and to produce red blood cells. The axial skeleton includes the skull, thoracic cage and vertebral column. The…

Introduction: The human leg is a complex and versatile machine. Designing a prosthetic (artificial) device to match the leg’s capabilities is a serious challenge. Teams of scientists, engineers, and designers around the world use different approaches and technologies to develop prosthetic legs that help the user regain a normal, active lifestyle. Studying the Human Gait Cycle: Each person has a unique way of walking. But studying the way humans walk has revealed that some basic mechanics hold…

it 's the correct representation of what a male should resemble. Furthermore, men become dissatisfied of their “flawed” body when they are exposed to images of the ideal muscular men. A study by Baird and Grieve was done among college students to test the following hypothesis “men exposed to magazine advertisements with muscular male models will have higher levels of body dissatisfaction than men exposed to magazine advertisements containing only products” (Baird & Grieve 116). The procedure was…

Electrolyte and Plasma Responses After Ingestion of Pickle Juice in Hydrated Females Adanna Cheek Radford University  Introduction Every physically active person knows how it feels to be in the middle of a sporting event or workout and suddenly experience a muscle cramp. These cramps are inhibiting and painful, as well as cause a decrease in performance. Exercise-associated muscle cramps, or EAMC, are defined as skeletal muscle cramps that occur during or directly after exercise (Miller et al.…

“A muscle is a tissue composed of cells or fibres, the contraction of which produces movement in the body.” (Dictionary) There are three different types of muscle; voluntary skeletal muscle, involuntary smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. Muscles have many different functions within the body. One function of muscle is movement. It is the only tissue in the body which is able to contract and therefore can move more than other body parts. Another function is the maintenance of posture. The muscles…

Synovial joint consists of a joint capsule, a joint cavity and a layer of cartilage over the ends of two joining bones. These joints are lined with synovial fluid. The articular cartilage over the joint ends absorbs jolts as it acts like elastic and it also provides a smooth surface for the joints to move frictionlessly. This fluid also helps in lubricating and protecting the bones. Cartilage is softer and much more flexible than a bone. The major role of cartilage is to form a model for later…
