Question
Chapter 39.2, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason that the biceps are not used while bending the arm to sit on a chair.
Introduction:
Biceps are the muscles that have two points of origin. They are found on the upper side of the arm. The main function of biceps is in lifting objects.
Triceps are the muscles that have a three point of attachment. They are found below the biceps. The main function of triceps is also in lifting objects.

WHAT IF? Why are the muscles of an animal that hasrecently died likely to be stiff?
7. You start running as fast as you can, then you settle into a jog that you can easily maintain. How do energy sources utilized by skeletal muscles change during the switch? Explain why
Fatigue is not well understood. Some factors that have been proposed to explain the fall in force duringfatigue include: changes in the 'sense of effort', loss of 'central drive', failure of neuromuscular propagation, reduction in calcium release in excitation- contraction coupling, metabolic changes in the muscle, and reduction in muscle blood flow owing to compression of blood vessels.
1. Do your experiments help to decide which factors are important?
