The lower body is made up of a variety of muscles, including the largest or the gluteus maximus. The gluteus maximus is the most visible gluteal muscle, but there are two smaller muscles underneath it: the gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. The glutes are responsible for hip movements, such as extension, rotation and abduction (moving the thigh away from the body). It's also heavily involved in that dance many of us have tried - shaking your booty. Below the glutes and on the back of the thighs

In the gastrocnemius muscle of the B. Marinus used, there are two types of myofilaments that are inside the muscle fibres. These myofilaments are thick filament protein called myosin, and a thin filament containing three different proteins; actin, tropomyosin and troponin. These myofilaments are arranged in myofibrils in a structure known as a sarcomere (Hopkins. M, P. 2006). The muscle in this experiment was stretched and forced to contract through an ATP-driven interaction between myosin and action

How are different tissues adapted for their roles? The function of the small intestine is digestion. The small intestine is developed for its role because the inside wall of the small intestine is thin, with a large surface area. This allows absorption in the body to happen quickly and more efficiently. The trachea (windpipe) is a hollow tube that connects the voice box to the bronchi of the lungs, allowing the passage of air to flow through. The trachea is lined with ciliated epithelial cells,

Muscular Dystrophy When people hear about diseases most of them don’t understand what exactly causes the disease in the first place, or even how widespread it could be. So they go about their days ignoring the disease all together. Such as the case for Muscular Dystrophy (MD). According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC) Muscular Dystrophy in its more predominant forms affects 1 in every 5,000 males. The two most common forms of Muscular Dystrophy, Duchenne and Becker (DBMD), affects 1

emulate the natural cardiac environment. In order to best reconstruct the damaged tissue of a heart following myocardial infarction, the chemical and biological cues that dictate cell recruitment and differentiation in the native tissues are required. Each human tissue contains its own specific combination of proteins and proteoglycans within the ECM to facilitate this process, so it serves that scaffold material obtained from the heart would best serve to reconstruct cardiac tissue (Singelyn et

is a very important system because this is where the three types of muscles come from. For example, in the video, it talked about the skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and the smooth muscle. The skeletal muscle is involuntary muscle and voluntary muscles. In addition, the cardiac muscle and the smooth muscle are only involuntary muscles. The cardiac muscle is only found in the heart. The smooth

Case Study – Muscular Dystrophy 1. The meaning of Duchenne muscular dystrophy is a severe form of muscular dystrophy caused by a genetic defect that can be characterized by a disturbed growth of cardiac and skeletal muscles. It usually affects boys. In 1861, a French neurologist, Guillaume B. Duchenne, was the first person to give a detailed description of this syndrome. 2. The typical microscopic changes noted in the muscle tissue of someone with Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy is degenerating skeletal

“Skeletal muscle is a protein reservoir that can be mobilised in times of need” – A Goldberg. Muscle ‘atrophy is defined as a decrease in the size of a tissue or organ due to cellular shrinkage; the decrease in cell size is caused by the loss of organelles, cytoplasm and proteins’ (Sandri, M. and Bonaldo, P. 2013). Muscle atrophy is the wasting away of muscles mainly due to inactivity or in this patient’s case, being bed ridden for 2 months. The principle of use it or lose it comes into play as the

Cardiac Hypertrophy This paper will discuss Cardiac Hypertrophy. There are two types that will be discussed as far as the physiological and pathological hypertrophy, which was taken from three articles discussed in class and other scholarly articles. The heart is divided into four columns: Left and Right Arteries and the Left and Right Ventricles. The walls of the four chambers are made up of the thick muscle (McMullen et al., 2007). There are two types of growth in the human body. Hypertrophy

The solid framework is the body's system of tissues that controls development both of the body and inside it, (for example, the heart's pumping activity and the development of nourishment through the gut). Development is created through the constriction and unwinding of particular muscles. The muscles of the body are isolated into two primary classes: skeletal (willful) and smooth (automatic). Skeletal muscles are connected to the skeleton and move different parts of the body. They are called willful
