Smooth function

a generic embryonic cell develops into a specialized cell to do a particular job or function which has been triggered by the body or the actual cell itself by signals. The signals are sent to the cell receptor, which interprets the message through a signal transduction pathway. This pathway converts the message into something that the cell is able to recognize and understand. This is how a cell learns its functions and purpose. Cell differentiation allows the human body to produce more complex…

al 2016). In a single unit smooth muscle cell, gap junctions are used to send signals between the cells (Hill et. al 2016). However, in multiunit smooth muscles, the muscle cells function as independent units because there are few, if any, gap junctions (Hill et. al 2016). This would be used to describe a large artery or vein (Hill et. al 2016). Like skeletal muscles, smooth muscles use the contractile proteins actin (thin filament) and myosin (thick…

the organ. Visceral muscles are an involuntary muscle. It is also known as “smooth muscle” because of its appearance when it is viewed under a microscope. • Cardiac Muscle: Cardiac muscle can only be found in your heart. It is responsible for pumping blood throughout your body. Cardiac muscle is also…

types that exist in the human body. There are three different muscle tissues, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle tissue cells are long, striated, and have many nuclei. Cardiac muscle tissue, just like the skeletal is also in striations. These cells are short and branched. Unlike, the skeletal muscle tissue these cells die single nucleated. They are connected by intercalated discs. Smooth muscle tissue is not striated. Its Cells are short and spindle shaped. The cardiac muscle is also…

The ability for muscles to contract and shorten to produce movement lies within its structure at a cellular level. The muscle organ is surrounded by a fibrous connective tissue called the epimysium, continuous to the perimysium, which separates the organ into small bundles called fascicles. Each fascicle can be further separated into muscle fibers by the endomysium. The plasma membrane of an individual muscle fiber is called the sarcolemma, which plays a major role in generating an action along…

still felt how excited the audiences was during the concert. During the Concert the music was played very soft and it did not have anything like the big band or African influence kind of characteristics. This Concert is a type of Jazz are called Smooth jazz, where in my opinion it is a combination of blues, rock and roll and pop music style. I love the way…

Defenses Defenses consist of cognitive, emotional, and interpersonal strategies employed by patients to keep anxiety-provoking thoughts and feelings out of awareness (see figure 4). There are two types of defenses, formal and tactical. Formal defense are implemented to prevent conscious awareness of thoughts and feelings experienced as dangerous. There are two subcategories of formal defenses, repressive and regressive. Repressive defenses include intellectualization, rationalization,…

For my musical concert paper I went to see a jazz show that took place in Oakland on Friday October 2, 2015. I saw a performance by The Lost Trio + The Empty Cage Quartet at studio grande. The location where it was held was much more inmate space then I was expecting there to be. It was not too fancy and there was a medium to small crowd there, not like one you would see in a symphony. It was a more informal setting, jazz is a more relaxing and casual form of music, unlike other type of music…

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 growth of the…

humans total body weight, and contains 50-75 percent of all body proteins, accounting for 30-50 percent of whole body protein turnover (Frontera and Ochala 2015). It contributes significantly to multiple bodily functions both mechanically and metabolically. In terms of our study its main function is to convert chemical energy into mechanical energy allowing individuals to generate force and power, and produce repetitive high speed intermittent movements within sports such as Gaelic Football. The…
