Comparing the Cardiac muscle and the Skeletal muscle Differences Similarities Skeletal muscle is usually linked to bones by structures called tendons. Cardiac muscle is found in the heart. They are both important parts to the body. Skeletal muscle cells are usually arranged into cylindrical fibres with multiple nuclei and can be directly controlled by voluntary nerve signals from the nervous system. Cardiac muscle cells are normally shorter and are linked via gap junctions which allow compounds

chapter Learning Objectives • Learn how our bodies change the food we eat into ATP to provide our muscles with the energy they need to move • Examine the three metabolic systems that generate ATP 2 Fuel for Exercise : Bioenergetics and Muscle Metabolism Terminology • Substrates – Fuel sources from which we make energy (adenosine triphosphate [ATP]) – Carbohydrate‚ fat‚ protein Measuring Energy Release • Can be calculated from heat produced • 1 calorie (cal) = heat energy required

the ‘Core’ Muscle Group Herbert DeRama Jeff Roberts Kinesiology 240 Ohlone College When most people want to work on their stomach muscles‚ their main focus would typically be concentrated on the middle part of their belly‚ the rectus abdominis. This would be the part of your stomach that creates those six pack abs that everybody wants to have. Girls love how ripped abs look and men desperately try to attain it. The physical appearance component of having nice stomach muscles is indeed a

Muscle Cell at rest: As the muscle cell is at rest it has a resting potential of -90mV. The K+ is all located inside the cell‚ the Na+ is located outside of the cell and the Ca2+ is located inside the sarcoplasmic reticulum. All leak channels and pumps are closed at this point. Muscle Cell stimulated by Acetylcholine: A motor neuron releases Acetylcholine which diffuses toward the muscle cell across the neuromuscular junction. As the Acetylcholine binds to a receptor on the muscle

1. Describe the main muscle groups of the body and their function There are three main categories that the muscles in the human body fall into: • Skeletal Muscle Skeletal muscle is the foremost area of concern for a sports masseuse. The main functions of this muscle group is to move the body in a voluntary manner‚ for example‚ if you want to kick a ball you will voluntarily have to send a signal through your brain to inform the muscles in your legs to contract/flex/extend and execute the skill
