    Myositis Ossificans Myositis ossificans is a condition in which an area of bruised muscle turns into bone (calcifies). This can happen when a deep bruise (contusion) is not treated. A contusion is caused by bleeding under the skin. When this blood seeps into soft tissues, it can form a clot (hematoma) and the clot it may go through a process called calcification.

    movement to occur, because this causes the contraction in it. This contraction pulls on the corresponding bone at its insertion point. Stationary bone is called the point of origin for the skeletal muscle, while the one which moves is known as the point of insertion. This together movement in skeletal and muscular systems cause the body movements and actions. When the signal to relax is received, muscle moves back to its original position and so do the bones. Section C 1. Outline the…

The purpose of this lab is to identify how changes in such variables will affect the properties of the muscle in a human flexor digitorium superficialis (FDS) and to extrapolate the nerve changes from a sciatic nerve of a frog. Neurons are excitable cells structural features such as dendrites, cell body and axon.…
