Rhabdomyolysis is a disease that is caused by muscle trauma and dehydration causing muscle fibers to breakdown into the bloodstream. This has a toxic effect on the kidneys and could be avoided in many cases. Dialysis as well as natural remedies can correct the disease if caught at an early stage. Muscular system diseases include muscle pain‚ weakness in the muscles and paralysis. There are various causes‚ for example hormonal disorders‚ auto-immune problem‚ genetic factor‚

Carol Mas BIO 201 Professor Washo-Krupps February 16‚ 2017 Motor Unit Recruitment and Muscle Fatigue Lab Introduction Human skeletal muscles are made up of hundreds of cylindrically-shaped cells called myofibers‚ and they are bound together by connective tissue. These muscles are stimulated to contract by somatic motor nerves‚ or motor neurons‚ that carry signals in the form of nerve impulses from the brain or spinal cord‚ to the skeletal muscles. Although a motor neuron can innervate several fibers

Activity 1 – The Muscle Twitch and Latent 1) Define the terms skeletal muscle fiber‚ motor unit‚ skeletal muscle twitch‚ electrical stimulus‚ and latent period. Skeletal Muscle Fiber: Skeletal muscle cells that are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells that produce muscle tension. These fibers are what move our bodies and generate muscle tension/force that enables us to have manual dexterity. Motor unit: consists of one motor neuron and all of the skeletal muscle fibers that

It is important to care for your body so you can stay healthy and live well. Your body is made up of systems that each have a job to do. The muscular system is comprised of all the muscles in your body. Muscles are elastic and because of that your muscles could move the organs and bones that they are attached to. So you should protect your muscular system because every part of your body relies on it. Caring for your muscular system can also help prevent health problems and injuries. Some of the injuries

Latasha Birge March 21st‚ 2013 MC 205 Week 4 Instructor Rein Chemical Stress Testing A chemical stress test is used when a traditional stress test (called a cardiac stress test) cannot be done. A cardiac stress test requires you to walk on a treadmill or ride a stationary bicycle until your heart rate reaches a level where your heart is “stressed”. You may not be able to participate in this kind of test if you have a condition such as a stroke. In this case‚ a chemical stress test is used
