Postural muscles are involved in maintaining an upright posture against gravity
when under stress, they shorten and become more hypertonic
Postural muscles respond well to relaxation and lengthening techniques
Phasic muscles are involved in producing movement
Phasic muscles generally weaken under stress and respond to strengthening

What are fast adapting receptors?
Phasic receptors
What sensory receptors are used by a runner during a marathon?
Two types of receptors that is the phasic receptors and the tonic receptors are used during running that keeps the body aware of the psychic of the body during each phase of the running.The phasic receptors include the rapidly adapting paccinian corpuscles which keeps the body aware of the instantaneous physical changes and the tonic receptors include the muscle spindles and the joint capsules which keep the psychic aware of the muscle tension and the stability of the joints.
Can phasic receptors exhibit the property of adaptation?
Yes.
What type of receptor adapts to light in a darkened movie theater?
Phasic
What has the author Bryan A Stewart written?
Bryan A. Stewart has written: 'Synaptic plasticity in a regenerated crayfish phasic motoneuron'
What receptors for deep pressure in the dermis and subcutaneous tissue control?
Lamellated Corpuscles They are phasic receptors for deep pressure, stretch, tickle, and vibration. They are found in the periosteum of bone, joint capsules, pancreas and other viscera, and deep in the dermis
What receptors do not undergo adaptation?
Tonic receptors have little to no adaptation while phasic receptors adapt fast!
What is a quadraphasic cat scan?
A CT scan that is repeated a certain number of times in the same examination period is said to be multiphasic (bi-phasic, tri-phasic, quadra-phasic). The interest is in observing a change in a parameter as a function of time. The main reason is to show the effect of intravenous contrast on CT attenuation, say pre contrast, and at one, three and five minutes post injection. By observing increased CT attenuation ( aka enhancement), or lack thereof, and it's temporal and morphological characteristics, radiologists infer the probable diagnosis. The same can be said of pre and post contrast studies using other contrast agents or routes of administration (e.g. pre and post contrast fistulography).
What is a Tri-phasic ct scan?
A tri-phasic CT scan is a scan which will show three different stages of dye uptake in the body. The first phase will be before the injection of the dye, the second stage will be for when the dye is in the arteries (roughly 20 seconds after injection) and the third phase will be when the dye has reached the veins (a few minutes later). Sometimes a fourth scan is also done to show the dye uptake in the kidneys and bladder. A tri-phasic scan clearly delineates lesions in the liver and will show problems and irregularities in the arterial and lymphatic system.
How do you spell fazek?
The spelling fazék is Hungarian for a ceramic pot. Possible English words are : PHYSIQUE (noun) - appearance or musculature, body or build PHASIC (adjective) - related to a phase PHYSICS (science) - study of matter and motion
When you read the volts on a 3 phase linethat should be 230 volts you get 142 volts at each line?
It's hard to understand what you're trying to ask. There could be multiple reasons why you aren't getting the correct voltage, ranging from testing for DC when you should be testing for AC to accidentally measuring the RMS value. Most likely, however, is that you're not measuring with a balanced, three phase load. Tri-phasic power works by splitting the voltage into three separate sin waves that are phase shifted by 120 degrees in relation to each other. Therefore one stays a normal sin wave, one becomes a sin wave phase shifted to 120 degrees, and the other phase shifts to -120 degrees. This means that at any given instantaneous time the average voltage between them is approximately the value of the DC offset. This is only true if you're measuring them with a balanced three phase load, however. If you measure one line at a time, you're going to get erroneous answers. You need to measure tri-phasic power with a balanced three phase load.
What are some six letter words with 3rd letter A and 4th letter S and 5th letter I and 6th letter C?
