The purpose of this lab was to better understand the human body by doing various activities and observing the three different muscle types. The activities were not conducted in order, but we did follow the instructions of each activity. However, there could be deviation since Vivian had allergies and I was sort of sick as well so our result may not be as accurate. By conduction the activities, we were able to analyze the different receptors in the skin and sense—for instance understanding the differences in receptors or taste and smell. Also, we were able to differentiate the three muscle types and observe the striation of the cardiac and skeletal muscle—and observe other differences in muscle types. By noticing that, for instance the tongue has different regions for different taste, we were able to infer that some taste are more important to distinguish than others. Also, by observing the different types of muscle, we were able to discuss the different functions and why the cardiac and skeletal muscle have striation. Lastly, it is important to understand the human body, not …show more content…
For instance, students were expected to show the distribution of sensory cells throughout the skin as well as being able to show that each sense has specialized cells, after completing certain activities. As for reflexes, students were expected to understand that some reflexes were either controlled by the voluntary or involuntary nervous system. Students were also expected to understand muscles directed eye response and that pupil responses are different based on the different stimuli and different lighting types. Finally, students were also expected to distinguish between the three different types of muscles based on observations and understand why the skeletal and cardiac muscle are striated. Additionally, students were to understand the various muscle functions with regard to speed
Contractility of ASM requires an increased levels of intracellular Ca2+. When surface receptors are not activated, Ca2+ levels are low. Upon activation of these cell surface receptors by contractile agonists e.g. acetylcholine, serotonin and histamine, intracellular Ca2+ increases causing a contraction (9). Smooth muscle cell contraction is controlled by both receptor and mechanical activation of proteins actin and myosin and also changes to membrane potential.
Introduction: In this experiment, cardiovascular fitness is being determined by measuring how long it takes for the test subjects' to return to their resting heart rate. Cardiovascular fitness is the ability to "transport and use oxygen while exercising" (Dale 2015). Cardiovascular fitness utilizes the "heart, lungs, muscles, and blood working together" while exercising (Dale 2015). It is also how well your body can last during moderate to high intensity cardio for long periods of time (Waehner 2016). The hypothesis is that people who exercise for three or more days will return to their resting heart rate much faster than people who only exercise for less than three days.
The effect of exercise/physical activity on pulse, blood pressure, and respiration rate was tested on biology students. The results of the experiment showed that each of these parameters is affected after engaging in 2 minutes of physical activity. We found that average pulse, mean arterial pressure, and respiratory rate were all higher in males than in females. But, it was also found that women have a longer time to recovery for all these parameters. The reasons for higher pulse, MAP and blood pressure, and respiratory rate could be
1) Make a graph of resting heart rates from Activity 1. Provide a physiological explanation for fluctuations in resting heart rate over time. Discuss a couple of extrinsic factors that influence the autonomic nervous regulation of resting heart rate.

Biceps Brachii - It's attachments are the coracoid process, supraglenoid tuberosity, and radial tuberosity. When it contracts it causes flexion and supination. It's located close to the endangerment site the antecubital. This area is known for housing chronic pain.
Introduction: Exercise is a physical activity or particular movement that is used in order to become healthier and stronger. (1) Exercise, in all of its forms, has various effects on the different systems in the human body. One of the main benefits is cardiovascular health, including circulation and heart health. Exercise uses a lot of energy, which the cells derive from oxidising glucose. Meaning that the heart has to work harder to pump more blood throughout the body and the heart has to beat faster in order to achieve a high effort. (2) The heart benefits from exercise include being able to pump more blood through the body and continue working at a higher level with less strain. (3)
This set of particular tests were carried out at Manchester Metropolitan University in the Interdisciplinary Laboratory. Prior to the tests that were going to be carried out the client in question was asked to carry out a Pre-Test Medical questionnaire to assess the risks involved and to see if the client would be able to participate in the tests. The tests that were performed on the client were height, weight, haemoglobin, cholesterol, FEV1 and FVC.
The topic examined in Lab 4 is how Body Mass, Brain Size, and Life History variables, are distinct amongst humans, apes, and other primates. These variables are related because they demonstrate positive correlations in the scatterplots of Age of First Reproduction (years), Maximum Lifespan (years), and Observed Brain Size (cc) of the species, in relation to an increasing Body Mass (kg). By examining these variables, the Encephalization Quotient (EQ), Age at First Reproduction, and Maximum Lifespan are then compared amongst humans and various apes. It is suggested that the EQ, Age at First Reproduction, Maximum Lifespan of humans are higher than other apes.
MuscleTech Nitro-Tech 2 is part of the performance series that contains whey isolate and lean muscle builders (peptides) to build 70 percent more lean muscle than regular whey. This is an ultra pure whey isolate that has been enhanced with creatine and amino acids. In the past, bodybuilders had few options for protein sources that had been scientifically formulated. That has changed with Nitro-Tech. MuscleTech has created a protein formula that packs on more muscle than regular whey protein due to their special process.
Two fishermen, Steven and George, headed out to fish along the Bale River, in Westport Wisconsin around 10:30a.m. After sitting for hours with no sight of fish, Steven felt a tight pull on his fishing rod. He immediately jumped and started to reel in his catch. But as his catch got closer, Steven caught a glimpse of what looked like an arm. As he reeled in more, he was shocked and frightened. George came by him and saw that this was not a fish. It was a human humerus covered in algae. George called the police immediately and soon enough the entire river was under investigation. The police, in addition, discovered a skull and a pelvis by a nearby sewer system. The femur of the skeleton was found by a nearby ditch. The four body parts were taken back to the lab for further analyzing.
You have actually simply completed an amazing workout, and you're feeling pumped. You have strategies with pals, so you move on to the locker room, hop in the shower, wear your street garments, and you are out the door half an hour later on. You fight traffic for an extra 30 minutes, and lastly meet your good friends. Your window of chance has passed. You did not get the post workout muscle supplements that you needed to boost muscle growth.
The purpose of the laboratory was to get a general understanding of all the methods of measuring body composition as well as learn the method of recording food and fluid intake. Body composition and nutrition is important as it address the concerns on health and aesthetics for the public. This concern is going higher as obesity in the united states is skyrocketing 21 states have a prevalence of obesity between 30% and ˂35% in 2017 ("Adult Obesity in the United States - The State of Obesity," n.d.). Poor nutrition and high body fat percentages are linked to hypertension, elevated serum cholesterol, obesity and adult onset diabetes (Powers, 2018). For athletes it is important as to achieve a performance goal, nutrition and body composition must be addressed.

Because his muscle mass is so big, he walks with a hunched back. His hands are three times the size of the average male. Although this green beast is very lean, he is far from small. The angrier he gets, the bigger he gets. He has superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and great reflexes. Each bicep is tripled the size of his head, and filled throughout his vigorous thighs, arms, and chest lies nothing but pure muscle and strength. He wears nothing but a pair of once was pants, which now appears to be ripped and dingy capris pants.
