Paula Radcliffe Skeletal The long term effects of Paula’s skeletal system is that her bones will get stronger‚ this is due to the bones density increasing‚ and calcium increasing in the bones. Another effect is that her ligaments would become more flexible. This is due to the elasticity increasing‚ therefore reducing any risk of injury from a pulled/ripped ligament. The amount of synovial fluid she produces would also go up. This would help her‚ because synovial lubricates the

Homeostasis A state of balance in the body Whoa Homeostasis “the tendency of a system‚ esp. the physiological system of higher animals‚ to maintain internal stability‚ owing to the coordinated response of its parts to any situation or stimulus tending to disturb its normal condition or function” - Dictionary.com Unabridged (v 1.1) “The ability or tendency of an organism or a cell to maintain internal equilibrium by adjusting its physiological processes.” - American Heritage Stedman’s Medical

Anatomy & Physiology in Sport Assignment 1 of 3 Muscular system Muscles Skeletal‚ cardiac and smooth are the three main types of muscle in the body. Skeletal muscle is a voluntary muscle‚ this means that it is under control by the somatic nervous system. When viewed under a microscope the appearance of this muscle is striped/ striated. “The primary function of the skeletal muscle is to produce fine movements to keep you alive. Skeletal muscle also contract as a reflex to a stimulus.”- (http://www

Homeostasis: An Analogy Reginald Robinson BIO1000 Capella University The homeostatic mechanism that regulates body temperature is called hypothalamus. It senses when your body’s temperature is too hot or cold. When your body is too hot‚ the hypothalamus senses that a change needs to be made so to reverse the heating process‚ thus reducing the amount of blood that is being sent to that area. This same action will cool the body and return it to a normal temperature. The ways in which

what is muscular dystrophy The muscular dystrophies are a group a group of genetic diseases characterized by progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal or voluntary muscles which control movement. The muscles of the heart and some other involuntary muscles are also affected in some forms of muscular dystrophy‚ and a few forms involve other organs as well. History of muscular dystrophy Children’s Hospital Boston has a long history of conducting innovative research on muscular dystrophy

wonder why the body shivers when it gets cold? Homeostasis keeps body conditions steady and constant. So‚ this means that when the body shivers‚ that is homeostasis taking place trying to keep your body temperature at a constant degree. Homeostasis maintains normality in the body in many different ways. Some examples include osmoregulation‚ thermoregulation‚ chemical regulation‚ and behavioral homeostasis. While homeostasis controls these processes‚ homeostasis must also go through a separate process of

Muscular Dystrophy Muscular Dystrophy is a general term for a number of hereditary‚ degenerative disorders affecting skeletal muscles‚ and often other organs. It is a genetic disease that causes constant degeneration of the muscles. There are over 30 kinds of Muscular Dystrophy. Some forms of Muscular Dystrophy affect involuntary organs like the heart. This muscular disease can be seen in during infancy or may not be known until much later on in life. Muscular Dystrophy is different for each person
