What are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are the sugars‚ starches‚ and fibers found in fruits‚ grains‚ vegetables and milk products. Carbohydrates are sugars that break down inside the body to create glucose. Glucose is moved around the body in the blood and is the primary source of energy for the brain‚ muscles‚ and other essential cells. There are two types of carbohydrates‚ simple and complex; Simple carbohydrates refer to sugars with a simple molecular construction of one or two parts. Because

aponeurosis (fascia). Due to the fact that skeletal muscles are long and cylindrical‚ they are reffered to as fibers. These fibers can be large for human cells with diameteres up to 100 μm and lengths up to 30 cm. Physiology (and some Anatomy) of the Muscle Contraction Within the muscle tissue there is a unique arrangement of myofilaments (actin and myosin) in a sequential order in the muscle fiber. Each packet of actin and myosin and their regulatory protiens (troponin and tropomysin and others) is called

The optic chiasm is formed by decussating fibers‚ which originates from the nasal half of the retina‚ fibers from the temporal retina project ipsilaterally. The optic tract lies beyond the chiasm and carries fibers from the temporal part of the ipsilateral retina and fibers from nasal part of the contra lateral retina. Since visual stimuli in the left half of the visual field falls on the nasal half of the

Thymelaceae family‚ genus Wikstroemia sp. It is cultivated in Formosa in commercial scale. Although no salago plantation existed in the Philippines in the early twenties‚ the species of Wikstroemia indica were collected in the slopes of Mt. Mayon. The fiber was then exported to Japan as according to the District Forester stationed in Legazpi City‚ it was utilized by the Japanese for currency-making during World War II. The salago plant can be found all over the country and is known by different names

Unidirectional Ply- longitudinal modulus: The Figure 1 clearly shows the orthogonal axes and fiber direction‚ the fiber directions. The first approximation made is E3= E4. And also for deriving the rules of mixtures the following assumptions are made: Fibers are uniform‚ parallel and continuous. Perfect bonding exists between fibers and matrix. A longitudinal load produces equal strain in fiber and matrix. Using the above assumptions and approximations two rules of mixtures

the Philippines’ textile industry was established in the 1950s under the principle of import substitution industrialization‚ which promotes producing goods domestically rather than importing them from other countries. The textile industry comprises fiber production and the manufacturing of yarn‚ fabric and textile end-products. It consists of two sectors: the primary processing sector‚ comprising spinning‚ twisting‚ weaving‚ knitting‚ dyeing and finishing; and the secondary processing sector‚ comprising

Fiber cement siding and wood siding are both excellent options‚ but each type has advantages and disadvantages. Comparing the differences between the two types of siding can help you make the choice that is just right for your unique property. Difference in Cost Fiber cement siding does not cost substantially more than quality vinyl siding. However‚ wood siding is almost always the

Although a motor neuron can innervate several fibers‚ each muscle fiber can only be innervated by one motor neuron. This combination of a single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers is referred to as a motor unit. Using electromyogram (EMG) technology‚ I am able to measure the electrical
