December 18th‚ 2013 Block 8 Body Tissues Essay There are four major categories of tissues in the human body. Each of them separate into even smaller groups with specific structures and functions. The four major types are epithelial tissue‚ connective tissue‚ muscle tissue and cardiac tissue. They are all necessities of the human body and contribute to many functions our bodies and cells carry out in order to survive. Tissues interact and group together to make up organs which then compose systems

way a man or woman should look. As a result‚ severe body dysmorphic disorders‚ like muscle dysmorphia (MD)‚ have begun to emerge. Situations that can increase ones risk of developing muscle dysmorphia include environments where physical appearance is of great importance and a childhood history of being bullied. This leads to negative characteristics such as low self-esteem‚ masculinity/femininity issues‚ and harmful eating behaviors (). Muscle dysmorphia (MD)‚ often called “bigorexia”‚ is a disorder

Frog Skeletal Muscle The aim of this experiment is to explore the basic physiological principles of skeletal muscle using the isolated frog (Rana pipiens or Xenopus laevis) gastrocnemius muscle. Students will dissect a double-pithed frog. Then‚ they will connect the muscle to the Force Transducer to measure twitch recruitment‚ effect of stretch‚ muscle summation‚ muscle tetanus‚ and muscle fatigue. Written by staff of ADInstruments.

boundary between our bodies and the environment. The skin has several important functions‚ for example: Protection‚ temperature regulations‚ waste removal and sense of touch. Protection • The skin acts as a protective organ. The film of sebum and sweat on the surface of the skin (acid mantle). It acts as an anti-bacterial agent to help prevent the multiplication of micro-organisms on the skin. • The fat cells in the subcutaneous layer of the skin help to protect bones and major organs form injury

Fractures A fracture is a break‚ usually in a bone. Fractures commonly happen because of car accidents‚ falls or sports injuries (Fractures: MedlinePlus). Stress fractures‚ which are very tiny cracks in the bone‚ can occur when there is an overuse of the bone which is common with athletes(Fractures: MedlinePlus). You may also be prone to broken bones if you have osteoporosis or another bone disease which causes weakening of the bones (Fractures: MedlinePlus).When I fractured my wrist I experienced

a lot of cases in which muscle building programs have led to serious side effects‚ causing people who followed these programs to end up in the hospital with severe health problems. However one can not have problems only by following a normal muscle building program. That is if one follows the strict rules these programs imply. One of the most common side effects when trying to build muscle is overtraining. People don’t seem to understand that these programs are serious ones and you cannot take shortcuts

BIOMECHANICS Biomechanics is the study of the body in a mechanical sense. This field attempts to make sense of the complexity of human movement by looking at the parts involved‚ analogous to the manner in which a car mechanic may explain how a vehicle works. The biomechanics of volleyball refers to the application of this field specifically to the movements in the sport. The movements of Volleyball are a complex combination of strength‚ power‚ agility‚ and finesse. Each of these components is comprised of

Muscles are responsible for all conscious and unconscious movement. It is how we move and react to an environment. There are three types of muscles in the body include the skeletal muscle‚ smooth muscle‚ and the cardiac muscle. Whether you are running‚ walking‚ breathing‚ eating‚ sleeping‚ or typing it all involves some sort of muscle action. Muscle cells that shape‚ form‚ and outline the whole human skeleton is called a muscle fibers. There are two types of muscle fibers: Type I (slow-twitching
