It takes 6 main muscles to run!!!
Insulin is secreted from the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas in order to convert glucose into glycogen for use by our muscles. This process actually takes place in the liver, not the muscles.
u use your upper leg muscles.
Yes, resting skeletal muscles primarily rely on glucose as an energy source. Glucose is broken down in a process called glycolysis to produce ATP, which is used for various cellular functions. During rest, when energy demands are low, glucose metabolism helps to maintain cellular processes and to store energy for future use.
glycogen
Mammals store extra glucose as glycogen in their muscles. Glycogen is a polysaccharide that serves as a readily available energy source that can be quickly broken down into glucose when needed for energy.
Not sure...but I want to say yes...
Yes, glucose is a primary chemical fuel for muscles. During physical activity, muscles break down glucose through a process called glycolysis, producing energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This energy is essential for muscle contractions and overall performance. Additionally, glucose can be stored as glycogen in muscles and the liver for later use during prolonged exercise.
muscles use chemical energy in glucose , as the bonds in glucose break, chemical energy changes to mechanical energy and the muscle contracts.. well there you go that how you produce mechanical energy :)
Glucose is stored as glycogen in muscles and liver.
Glucose can be used immediately as fuel, or can be sent to the liver and muscles and stored as glycogen. During exercise, muscle glycogen is converted back into glucose, which only the muscle fibers can use as fuel.
The muscles you use when you are running are your Deltoids, Triceps, Biceps but the main ones are your Gluteus Maximus, Harstring, Goutocnemuis, Abdominals and Quaddriceps.
