What else can I help you with?
What muscle holds in the tummy?
The abdominal rectus muscles are primarily involved in this function.
Does walking on an incline build muscle?
Of course it does. If walking builds muscle then walking at an incline builds muscle. Different muscles will be worked at different angles.
What muscle to you stretch when touching your toes?
The muscle that forms the calf of your lower leg is the muscle that helps you lift to your toes. This muscle is called the gastrocnemius.
As the polymyositis disease progresses how does it affect daily routines?
Polymyositis is a very rare disease. It basically deteriorates all the muscle in your body. Even the simplest of tasks are hard to do like walking down stairs or lifting a gallon of milk or even doing a simple exercise. Especially considering you have no muscle left. It can also be very painful.
Which event is most significant in initiating the wave of depolarization in a cell?
diffusion of Na+ into the muscle fiber
What builds better muscle tone walking or biking?
Walking and biking both build muscle tone, especially in the lower body. Pumping arms while walking briskly will help increase muscle tone in upper body.
What role does the muscle play during walking?
The muscle plays a crucial role in walking by contracting and relaxing to move the bones and joints, providing the necessary force and movement for walking.
What is the cerebrum responsible for?
The cerebrum is responsible for higher brain functions such as thinking, interpreting sensory information, initiating voluntary muscle movements, and controlling emotions and personality traits. It is also involved in memory storage and retrieval.
What symptoms would a person have if their cerebellum has been injured?
The cerebellum is involved in muscle control, especially for movement and balance and muscle tone. Some symptoms would include difficulty balancing, difficulty telling when to stop walking forward, tremors, staggering when walking, weak muscles, slurred speech and abnormal eye movements.
What protein is involved with shortening of muscle cells to produce movement?
The protein primarily involved in the shortening of muscle cells to produce movement is actin, which interacts with myosin. During muscle contraction, myosin heads bind to actin filaments, pulling them closer together and resulting in the shortening of the muscle fiber. This interaction is regulated by calcium ions and ATP, enabling coordinated contraction and relaxation of muscles.
Is walking up stairs carying a large load concentric or eccentric?
Walking up stairs while carrying a large load primarily involves concentric muscle contractions. During this activity, your muscles shorten as they generate force to lift your body and the load against gravity. Although there are some eccentric contractions involved when stabilizing and controlling the load, the main effort in ascending stairs is concentric.
What happens to the gastrocnemius muscle when the shank is flexed as in walking?
When the shank is flexed as in walking, the gastrocnemius muscle is contracted. This allows for plantar flexion of the foot, pushing the body forward during the walking motion. The gastrocnemius muscle plays a critical role in the propulsion phase of walking.
