Why are there upper and lower bands of muscles in the upper arm and lower arm in a chicken wing?
Because the chicken wing needs very many muscles to move its wing. The muscles work together when the bird is in flight to move the wing up and down.
What are suicides -exercises?
when one is running back and forth from one line to another working the lower legs muscles.
What is the layer of opposing muscle that controls the movements of the upper and lower wings of a chicken?
The Flexor and Extensor muscles
How many muscles are there in a chicken wing?
A chicken wing has two large muscles and a third grouping of smaller muscles. The two larger muscles, biceps and triceps, are found in the upper portion of the wing, and are used to straighten and bend the wing. The third muscle grouping is found in the lower portion, and are used to control the lower 'hand' portion of the wing.
Which pair of the opposing muscle controls the movements in the upper and lower ends of the chicken's wing?
The Flexor and Extensor muscles controls this movements. In particular, a chicken or a fowl's Flexor and Extensor muscles are called Pectoralis major and Pectoralis minor, respectively.Hope that helped! :))
Why do girls got pain in the lower part of their stomach when they have menstruation?
The muscles of the uterus called the myometrium are cramping from the constant movement to shed the uterus' lining.
How are muscles bones and tendons related?
Bones provide support to the muscles and give them something to pull against. Muscles are able to contract and relax to provide movement. Tendons are a bit like strings, which allow a muscle to pull on a distant bone. For instance, the muscles which raise and lower your fingers are actually in your wrists, and you can see the tendons which pull your fingers on the back of your hand.
What is the purpose of the lower arm muscles?
You have no muscles in your fingers only tendons. The muscles in your lower arm control your hand movements and grip strength
What muscles is responsible for the movement of scapula depression?
The movement of the scapula is largely determined by the position of the shoulder girdle as a whole. As a "floating bone" the scapula is often at the mercy of the more fixed extremities and can be acted upon by several different muscles simultaneously. That being said, the prime mover responsible for scapular depression is the trapezius (specifically the lower fibers). Other muscles which act as stabilizers or synergists in scapular depression and eventual scapular protraction are the subscapularis, the serratus anterior and the lower fibers of latissimus dorsi.
What had lower calories turkey chicken or beef?
Chicken. Lol.
How is a chickens anatomy similar to a humans?
Starting off with probably the most basic similarity is that a human and a chicken leg both provide movement. The function of both species legs is to allow for the animal to move around from place to place. The most similar aspect of the chicken leg to a human leg is the thigh. The muscles of the thigh in a chicken are basically the same as a human except they are rotated 180 degrees. A chicken leg has a gracilis, semitendinosus, vastus lateralis, biceps femoris, and a semimembranosus (see diagram 1 in the lab to get a visual for these five muscles). In the lower leg around the chicken's tibiofibula, the gastrocnemius can be found (see diagram 1 for a visual). All of these six muscles can be found on a human thigh as well, just rotated. In chickens, the gracilis and semitendinosus muscles are responsible for flexing the knee joint. In humans, the gracilis helps with knee flexion and the semitendinosus and biceps femoris work together to help bend the knee. (Semitendinosus, 2012) This is just one example of how the function of the muscles in a chicken leg parallel with muscles in a human leg. Most of the muscles in a chicken leg perform the same functions as those in a human leg. Running through these muscles, there is a major nerve that is the same in both humans and chickens. This nerve is the sciatic nerve that runs down the posterior side of the thigh and lower leg in humans. Chickens have this nerve as well. The nerve allows both chickens and humans muscles to feel and to move. This is a major nerve that if damaged can cause many problems with lower leg and ankle reflexes and movement. (Sciatic Nerve, 2012) Another major similarity between human and chicken is the knee joint. The knee joint bends in very similar ways in a chicken and human. Diagram 2 shows what a chicken knee joint looks like and it is extremely similar to a human knee joint. The femur meets the tibia connected laterally by the lateral collateral ligament, medially by the medial collateral ligament (MCL) and inside, just under the patella lies the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). In the knee joint, the two major ligaments are the ACL and MCL (see diagram 2). Both chickens and humans have these two ligaments in the same place and to serve the same function. These two ligaments prevent the femur and tibia from sliding, and they stabilize the knee so it cannot turn extremely in a rotational way. (The Knee, 2011) Although there are numerous similarities, chicken and human legs are not all the same. One of most extreme differences is the bones of the lower leg. In a human, there is a tibia and a fibula. The fibula provides space for ligament attachment so that the ankle and foot can move around. However, a chicken's ankle and feet do not move around like a human and the space for ligament attachment on the fibula is not needed. Because of this, the chicken leg hardly has a fibula. A chicken's fibula looks like a splinter that runs from the knee joint to about two thirds of the way down the chicken's tibia. The fibula is very slight and the bones of the lower leg of a chicken are called the tibiofibula because of the almost nonexistent fibula. (Jacob, Pescatore, & Cantor, 2011)
What muscles do plantar fascia exercises work out?
The plantar fascia muscles are those located in the foot that control heel movement. One of the easiest exercises is to stand on a low curb with just the toes and raise and lower ones heels above and below the curb.
