Why do men have more water in the body than women?
Fat molecules are very hydrophobic and so fat tissue (containing fat cells full of fat molecules) have a lower water concentration than other tissues. As women in general have a higher body fat percentage (partly due to the presence of breasts) they have more tissue that has little water and the so the total body has less water per weight.
Under what condition are muscle cells produces?
Muscle cells are produced during development in the embryo from stem cells called myoblasts. Muscle growth can also occur through exercise or injury, where satellite cells are activated to differentiate into new muscle cells.
List the major bones in the body and at least one muscle that attaches to each?
Femur - Quadriceps muscle Skull - Temporalis muscle Sternum - Pectoralis major muscle Humerus - Deltoid muscle Tibia - Gastrocnemius muscle Vertebrae - Erector spinae muscle These are just a few examples, as there are many more bones and muscles in the human body.
In what way would having many mitochondria be beneficial to muscle cells?
Having many mitochondria in muscle cells allows for more energy production through aerobic respiration, which is essential for providing the energy needed for muscle contractions during activities like exercise or movement. This high energy production capacity helps to prevent muscle fatigue and allows for sustained muscle activity over longer periods of time.
What does a muscle cell do that no other cells can do?
Muscle cells have unique structures called sarcomeres that allow them to contract and generate force, enabling movement. No other cells in the body have the ability to contract in the same way as muscle cells.
People with less body fat have more body weight?
In general, muscle weighs more than fat because of the water content in muscle. So when comparing two people of roughly equal size, the person with more muscle will weigh more.
Is alcohol a muscle relaxer?
Alcohol is at best a temporary muscle relaxer. In the long run it will cause more cramps and stiffness than it will heal. This is due to the fact that it dehydrates your body and makes it so it won't hold water. You need water for muscles and fibrous tissues to heal. Think about it, the more you drink the more you dry out. Is it easier to rip a dried out piece of beef jerky or a raw steak?
To lose fat is it better to build muscle or run?
Of course build more muscle , because when you have more muscle in the body , help burn about 50% more body fat , that you are burn. :-) .
Why one floats on water?
Someone floating or sinking has to do with the density of the body. Oils and fats, when mixed with water, begin floating to the surface because their density is less than water. The oposite is true of muscles. Muscle is very dense so it will sink. If someone has more body fat they are more apt to float. If someone has a lot of muscle mass then they are more apt to sink.
How would the number of mitochondria in an insects wing compare to the amount found in other cells in an insect's body?
Their wings hold more active cells (muscle cells).
What type of muscle contributes more weight in your body?
Skeletal muscle contributes more weight in a person's body than any other muscle type. It accounts for 40% of a person's total weight.
How does water help to your body?
It cleans your liver and rehydrates you. Water also helps you get healthier skin, reduce your risk of heart attack, cushion and lube your joints and muscles, regulate your body temperature and burn more fat and build more muscle.
Why does cold air hold more water?
It doesn't. Warm air can hold more water, as it has more energy to retain water in a gaseous state.
What cell of the human body has more mitchondria a muscle cell or skin cell?
A muscle cell
What type of tissue is muscle?
Muscle tissue is called just that. It is not as pliable as other tissue in the body and it is much more dense. Muscle tissue can be found in every area of the body.
How do you make your upper body more muscle?
you can make your upper body more muscle by doing sit ups bench press push ups or any thing like that
