Sample Physiology MCQs 1. Compound action potentials can be graded responses. True 2. The sciatic nerve contains axons of both afferent and efferent neurones. True 3. The absolute refractory period of an action potential is the period after an initial stimulus when it is impossible to evoke another action potential with a second stimulus. True 4. The refractory periods of individual axons are important as they dictate the maximal action potential firing rate of a neuron. True 5. Compound action

2. FLNB in Skeletal Diseases Mutations in FLNB lead to various skeletal malformations‚ involving long bone‚ joints and vertebra. There were five FLNB-related skeletal disorders been reported so far‚ including spondylocarpotarsal synostosis (SCT)‚ Larsen syndrome‚ atelosteogenesis (AO)‚ boomerang dysplasia‚ and isolated congenital talipes equinovarus. (1) Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome (SCT‚ OMIM 272460) Spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome was characterized by the following features:

talk about how BUILDING MUSCLE INCORPORATES MANY DIFFERENT FACTORS BUT CAN ULTIMATELY BE ACHEIEVED BY NUTRION‚ WEIGHT TRAINGING‚ AND ADDING SUPPLEMENTS TO YOUR DAILY ROUTINE. Let’s start with nutrition. There are hundreds of fad diets out there today‚ however the foundation of a successful nutrition plan begins a healthy calorie controlled diet. You must be eating a consistent amount of daily calories. This intake should be substantial enough to allow the body to build muscle. Undereating is one of

The Physiology of Fitness – Acute and long term effects on the body Musculoskeletal System Response to acute exercise Increased Blood Supply During exercise your blood supply increases to your muscles‚ the reason for this is to keep them working and making sure that they don’t get tired too easily. Increase in Muscle Pliability During exercise your muscles will also become more pliable because as the muscles contract quickly they will generate heat‚ this then makes the muscles more pliable

BTEC Level 3 Unit 2: The Physiology of Fitness Describe the musculoskeletal and energy systems response to acute exercise. What is an acute response? An acute response is an immediate response to exercise. Acute exercise will last throughout the full length of your training session. During the training session our bodies begin to respond to the exercises we are doing and begin to feel the changes within our bodies and mind due to physical strain and stress of the physical activity in lots
