    Lab 3 – Skeletal Muscle Physiology Introduction Skeletal muscles are composed of hundreds to thousands of individual cells‚ each doing their share of work in the production of force. As their name suggests‚ skeletal muscles move the skeleton. Skeletal muscles are remarkable machines; while allowing us the manual dexterity to create magnificent works of art‚ they are also capable of generating the brute force needed to lift a 100-lb. sack of concrete. When a skeletal muscle from an experimental

    Bones in our body are living tissue. They have their own blood vessels and are made of living cells‚ which help them to grow and to repair themselves. Every single person has a skeleton made up of many bones. These bones give your body structure‚ let you move in many ways‚ protect your internal organs‚ and more. As well‚ proteins‚ minerals and vitamins make up the bone. Bones have several parts‚ but are manily made out of calcium deposits. It takes around 20 years for our bones to completely

    factors affect muscle fatigue? Introduction: In this experiment muscles will be tested with weight‚ to see if weight is truly a factor in muscle fatigue. Muscle fatigue is the muscle’s ability to contract exert its normal strength due to physical stress upon it. The structure of a muscle include a thin layer called epimysium which surrounds the entire muscle‚ deeper to the epimysium is the perimysium. This layer contains fascicles which are bundles of muscle cells. In between the muscle cells are endomysium

    First of all we have to defreniate between the musle stenght and muscles power. Musle stenght: Muscular strength defined as the ability of a muscle /group of muscles to contract with maximal force. Muscular strength describes how strong a muscle is or how much force it can exert. Exercise professionals often measure muscular strength by determining the maximum weight a person can lift at one time. There are 2 components to gain muscles strength; 1) The neural component (short-term). 2) The hypertrophic

This disease occurs when there is damage to the skeletal muscle. The breakdown products of damaged muscle cells‚ such as myoglobin‚ are harmful to the kidneys and frequently result in kidney damage or even kidney failure
