Smooth muscle

Not everybody is created equal, which means some of us gym-goers have to rely on a weight gain supplement to help us accumulate mass before we can turn it into muscle at the bench press. If you’ve tried mainstream mass gainers with no success, perhaps you should turn to a mass gainer specifically designed for hardgainers. Something like the Serious Mass formula from Optimum Nutrition. Optimum Nutrition Serious Mass The Serious Mass formula is among Optimum Nutrition’s most popular supplements…

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…

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…

function. Hypertrophy is the opposite of atrophy and causes the cells to enlarge and therefore causes organs and tissues to enlarge because of the cell size enlargement.An example is when you excersize your muscles enlarge as a result, it is not new muscles being grown it is the same muscles but they increase bulk. Hyperplasia is when the cell production…

this moment my sympathetic nervous system (SNS) was reacting to this tragic situation and the neurotransmitter epinephrine was being released into my body. The chemical epinephrine in my lungs was binding to the receptors on the smooth muscle cells therefore causing the muscle to relax and then this resulted in vasodilation (Genetic Science Learning Center, 2016). This…

My focus for this report is to explain the role of skeletal muscles in the body and a specific disease that can come from it, if not functioning properly. It is well known that the main function of the muscular system is to generate movement. The muscles work together to move the body and organs, while also maintaining posture and body temperature. There are three types of muscle tissue; skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. Skeletal muscle is the most common of the three, since it’s connected to bone…

system provides an important function for the human body. It is perhaps one of the most important of the systems in that muscles, bones and joints provide the mechanisms for movement that facilitates the continuance of life processes, as well as the movements that make for an enjoyable life experience. Without the musculoskeletal system, which is comprised of bones, joints and muscles there would be no blood flow, heartbeat or digestion, and there would certainly be no physical movement. Bones …

skeletal system to provide blood cells to the muscles. The blood cells contain oxygen which is converted into ATP during cellular respiration. The ATP is needed to perform daily tasks like walking. The skeletal system supports the striated muscle which allows movement to occur. The striated muscle connects the bone and muscle together. The skeletal system relies on the muscular system for calculated movement. For example, the axial skeleton needs muscle to allow movement. 2. Digestive System and…

The proximal origin of the muscle is on the spinous processes of thoracic vertebrae 7–12, the thoracolumbar fascia, the iliac crest, and the lower ribs (Figure14). The tendon is attached to the humerus anteriorly floor of bicipital groove. The tendon is either wing-like or quadrilateral. Most of the deep surface of the tendon of the latissimus dorsi is separated from the underlying tendon of the teres major muscle by a bursa. The latissimus dorsi has several different…

And it certainly would be if we worked on them harder – with more repetition. Since we usually only perform a certain pose eight or ten times, I personally cannot feel my muscles getting stronger like they are supposed to. The class lacks intensity. At first I thought I could not feel any muscle group engaged because my whole body was already sore from other workouts (self-defense, gym, fitness training and climbing). Yet even after I was not sore anymore, I could not relate to the…
