The pelvic floor consists of layers of muscles “stretching like a hammock from the pubic bone in the front‚ to the base of the spine” (O’Connell‚ Bennett & Jarvis‚ 2004). There are three openings that pass through the pelvic floor; the urethra from the bladder‚ the vagina from the uterus and the anus from the bowel (The Royal Women’s Hospital Fact Sheet‚ 2010). The pelvic floor muscles work to support the bladder‚ uterus and bowel (Hendy‚ 2006; The Royal Women’s

The Cell P2 – Describe the four main tissue types in the body Inside the body‚ there are four mains types of tissue which include the Epithelial‚ Muscular‚ Nervous and Connective. Tissues are known as groups of cells which have a certain structure to retain a specific job. Epithelial Tissue covers the body surface and forms the lining for most internal cavities. It protects our insides‚ it’s known as the skin. It also absorbs in the intestinal lining and stomach‚ otherwise known as the gut. It

forces generated in muscles through the application of the laws of motion from Newtonian mechanics. The movement is actively controlled by the motor commands generated in the central nervous system and sent to the musculoskeletal system through the descending tracts. These motor commands can be estimated with the electrical activities in the muscle tissue‚ which are recorded using electromyography (EMG) techniques. The activity of muscles as a function of time‚ also known as muscle activations provides

Summarise the positive and negative effects on the skeletal and muscular systems of a young person performing contact‚ high impact and repetitive sports. There can be both positive and negative outcomes to a young performer. Positive effects can be the strengthening of the body. Negative effects can be that serious injuries can occur to the undeveloped young performer’s body and not be able to do that sport after.

Hyperplasia also allows for muscles to adapt to the resistance‚ and grow in size or increase in strength. Delayed onset muscle soreness is he a result of microscopic

recessive “mini-muscle” phenotype in mice. Smaller body size and muscles as well as increased maximal oxygen intake are observed in mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype. This observation raises an issue about why the selectively bred mice with the “mini-muscle” phenotype have reduced triceps and thigh muscle mass as they are able to cover greater distances; due to faster running speed‚ on an activity wheel compared to normal mice. However‚ greater exercise and load is thought to result in muscle hypertrophy

Germany. These men started using mammography for the diagnosis and evaluation of breast cancer. With this popularity of mammography came vast improvements with technology. Before 1969‚ many machines were not designed for imaging exclusively breast tissue. For example‚ imaging units from the past were comprised of tungsten targets‚ which were primarily used for imaging anatomy that required relatively higher doses of radiation. These units also worked off of a large focal spot which decreases the detail
