PROPRIORCEPTION. Propriorceception is essentially the ability to sense the position‚ alignment and movement of one’s body and its parts in space. For example‚ if your eyes were closed‚ you’d still know where your hands are without much thought due to proprioreception. Also when you are standing proprioreception allows you to be aware of where your limbs are and therefore you can make any necessary adjustments if you felt out of balance. This ability to know where your body parts are in 3-dimensional

ELECTROMYOGRAPHY (EMG) Roshna S Department of Electronics and Communication‚ 8th SEM CMR Institute of Technology AECS layout‚ ITPL road‚ Bangalore‚ India Abstract – Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure to assess the health of muscles and the nerve cells that control them (motor neurons). Motor neurons transmit electrical signals that cause muscles to contract. An EMG translates these signals into graphs‚ sounds or numerical values that a specialist interprets. It is a technique for

What vital signs or symptoms does Annie exhibit? Blurred vision and eye strain‚ hands ache and feel weak‚ gasping for air‚ weakness & Constant fatigue 2. Can you see any common features in Annie’s signs and symptoms? Blurred vision and eyestrain we must look at the optic nerve within the brain. Whenever you don’t see

by the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. (Silverthorn‚ 2007) In the skeletal muscle‚ action potential in the nerves is generated when the somatic motor neurons releases the neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh)‚ at the neuromuscular junction. This initiates muscle action potential which is then transmitted to the t-tubules. Action potential in the t-tubules leads to the release of calcium in the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggering muscle contraction. In the cardiac

isolated gastrocnemius muscle from Rana pipiens. The gastrocnemius receives signals from the action potentials of the sciatic nerve. The muscle contraction is caused by the binding of a neurotransmitter once the action potential reaches the neuromuscular junction. Stimulation of the muscle and the sciatic nerve allows for recording and measuring of these properties. We observed twitch recruitment of the nerve and muscle length-tension relationship of the skeletal muscle‚ summation of skeletal muscle

involves the motor units‚ such as motor neurons‚ peripheral nerves‚ motor endplates‚ and muscle fibers. There are two different sites where repeated contractions may cause muscle fatigue. One is the transmission mechanism‚ which is basically the neuromuscular junction‚ muscle membrane‚ and endoplasmic reticulum. The other one is the contractile mechanism‚ which is the muscle filament. A muscle fiber’s mechanical response declines with fatigue. Peripheral muscle fatigue is caused by changes in the internal
