I believe that's called a cramp, and its very unpleasant. See that is why you need to stretch; when you stretch its not just your muscles, but the veins and nerves within the muscles being stretched, and because I think 70% of your body weight, its somewhere along those lines, is skeletal muscle tissue (assuming you're not obese), it is important to keep the muscles healthy. The muscles need constant blood flow, and veins need to be kept pliable. If you don't strength train your muscles atrophy and stiffen, and your heart has to work harder to get blood to various parts, and if you don't stretch, the veins become less and less flexible and its harder for the heart to get blood to the muscles in the first place. Additionally, believe it or not the nerves too are fluid dependent; human bioelectricity is rooted in a chemical reaction which, I believe involves water and sodium. Anti depressants are sodium based, to allow the electrical transmission between nerves to work better. Human nerve cells, if I'm not mistaken, are basically long sacks of saltwater, which constantly channel electricity; because like veins they are fluid based, if nerves loose flexibility, and more crucially, if less and less blood goes to them, they function less and less effectively and once you loose nerve function all other things begin falling apart. You have no idea, how much of your body is sheer nerve function; part of the reason many mentally ill people that never receive treatment are deformed, is because what happens in your brain, sooner or later, happens in your body.
If you are a very sad person for example, the neural deterioration in the brain, inevitably transfers to central and peripheral nerve deterioration Sigmund Freud, the world's most famous Psychologist, was concerned with mental health because he correctly observed that the reason many of his patients kept coming back, was because they were mentally ill. He gave them medicine, prescribed rest and all that he did his job as a doctor alright? However, his patients, were not getting better; it was not until he started listening to their problems, analyzing the mind in an abstract manner, and giving them advice on how to solve them that their health problems FINALLY stopped. There is a "mind body" connection, and believe it or not the most important fitness activity is stretching.
your muscles need more oxygen
the blood circulates
cheesey potatoes
Decreased blood supply in the muscle can cause anoxia then paralysis.
When blood supply to the heart is blocked what happens is a myocardial infarction which can result in death.
Muscle and Nervous tissue have the highest blood supply while connective is generally good blood supply and epithelium has no direct blood supply
A skeletal muscle's blood supply is generally best described as?
The heart muscle is supplied by blood vessels called coronaries.
Blood brings oxygen and ATP, which react with one another (oxidation), to the muscle cells. The result of this oxidation process (aerobic) is energy and heat. (Most of the body's heat originates from muscle activity.) Skeletal muscles will not contract unless stimulated by neurons.
Coronary arteries
Yes.
Skeletal Muscle
Coronary arteries are the vessels that provide blood supply to the heart muscle itself. If they are blocked or damaged, a heart attack may result.
coronary arteries
Respiration is the activity used to create oxygen in the blood.
