Muscular dystrophy

Opening: Every day, our elbows are used a lot in many ways. Although elbows pain are not really serious, it can make you frustrating and make your activities more inconvenient. Body: How is the elbow designed? - The elbow, in essence, is a joint which is formed by the union of three major bones is supported by ligaments. Connected to the bones by tendons, muscles move those bones in several ways. The bones that create the elbow are included:  Humerus: This long bone extends from the shoulder…

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…

Tone is a normal state of balance in bodily tissue such as muscle and skin. In resting muscles, it is a state of partial contraction of a muscle to a pre-set length that serves to maintain posture, organ function, such as digestion, and reflexes. Generally speaking, a nerve from the spinal cord, spinal nerve, will grow from the spine to a muscle, it splits to form motor neurons, then contacts the muscle fiber at a point called the neuromuscular junction. This formation, in conjunction with…

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…

articulating bones, with the joint acting as the fulcrum. Upon receiving the signal to relax, the muscle opposing the contracted muscle will then act to extend the movable bone back to it original position. The skeletal system provides structure for the muscular system to move. For example, if you hold your arm straight and bend the elbow, you will your bicep move up your arm. Without the skeletal system the body would be like a blob on 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…

HOW I BECAME AN EXPERT ON MUSCLES Utilizing Creatine to Build Muscle Creatine was invented many years ago for the purpose of building muscles. Using creatine will guarantee better performance in the gym. Creatine raises muscle hydration that offers you the most efficient setting for lean muscle enlargement. Creatine is essential for helping an athlete to persevere during painful exercises since it offers high levels of energy. Use of creatine makes you body to consume Adenosine Triphosphate. ATP…

and function. There are four main tissues in the body. Epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue are the four main types that make up the human body. Epithelial tissue lines body cavities, hollow organs, and ducts. It covers the body surfaces and forms glands. Connective tissue binds organs together, stores energy reserves as fat, and provides immunity. It protects and supports the body and its organs. Muscular tissue generates the physical force needed to make body structure move.…

Synovial joint Angles of the Hip Hailey Rubin and Angie Allen Purpose: To analyze the full range of motion of the hip flexion and extension by measuring the joint angles. Methods: We decided to use the Hudl Technique app to film hip in a squatting motion from fully extended to full flexion of the hip. The Technique app made it possible to pause the video, allowing the ability to measure the angle from the top of the Iliac crest to the knee to the ankle. We choose to record in front of the dark…
