What is the difference between passive and active tension in muscle contraction?
Passive tension is the force exerted on a muscle when it is stretched, while active tension is the force generated by the muscle when it contracts.
What is the rate of recovery for polymyositis?
About 20% still have active disease requiring ongoing treatment after five years, and about 30% have inactive disease but some remaining muscle weakness.
What happens to muscle cells or fibers when the body is inactive?
When the body is inactive, muscle cells or fibers undergo gradual atrophy, leading to a decrease in size and strength. This occurs due to a decrease in protein synthesis and an increase in protein breakdown. Regular exercise is necessary to maintain muscle mass and function.
Why does dark meat have more fat?
Meat is the muscle of an animal and active muscle contains a myoglobin which makes it appear darker than less active muscle. Since chickens do not fly their legs are more active than their breast muscles (wild duck would be the opposite). The difference in fat content also relates to muscle activity. More active muscle has a higher metabolic need and fat is the most efficient energy source.
What happens to our heart if the cardiac muscle gets stronger?
Regular physical activity strengthens heart muscles -- and people who are inactive are twice as likely to suffer from heart disease as people who are physically active.
Which muscle is the primany stair climbing muscle that is generally inactive during standing and walking?
Gluteus minimums
What is an inactive lifestyle?
An inactive lifestyle refers to a lack of physical activity or exercise in daily routines. It involves prolonged periods of sitting or lying down with minimal movement, which can lead to health issues such as obesity, cardiovascular disease, and muscle weakness. Adopting an active lifestyle that includes regular exercise can improve overall health and well-being.
When are muscle injuries most likely occur?
when you lead an inactive lifestyle
When are muscle injuries most likely to occur?
when you lead an inactive lifestyle
What type of muscle tissue is active during birth?
Smooth muscle
How do asynchronous motor units summation reduce muscle fatigue and how does this relate to muscle tone?
Asynchronous recruitment of motor units is used to prevent fatigue. While some motor units are active others are inactive. This pattern of firing of motor neurons prevents fatigue while maintaining contraction by allowing a brief rest for the inactive units.
What can electromyography do?
EMG can determine whether a particular muscle is responding appropriately to stimulation, and whether a muscle remains inactive when not stimulated.
