Why does the musuclar system respond to exercise?

Stimuli are received from the CNS by the dendrites and passed on via the axon. At the end of the axon is the axon terminal, which connects to the motor end plate of the muscles to form the neuromuscular junction. As there are so many muscles fibres it would take a lot of internal wiring to connect all off the stimulates between 15 and 2000 muscle fibres -- this is called a motor unit. The number of fibres in a motor unit depends on the type of work the muscle does. Once the motor unit is stimulated then all the muscle fibres in it will contract. This is known as the 'all or none' law. So once you start exercising (at steady state, running) all of your muscles will start contracting quite fast and start to go mad firing impulses. This will be caused by all of the impulses being sent to the brain from the muscles. But in our experiment we did we saw that the rate of the impulses slowed down about 3minutes and plateau out as well did the breathing rate and heart rate.

Why are runway models so skinny?

so they will fit the dress...

Its not just to fit in a dress! The guy that dresses you prefer skinny models because they have more clothes for thyou have to be skem and more things for them to use! I dont think you have to be skinny to enter pageants! Or to be a model

Clothes look better on someone who is skinny. So when Calvin Klein wants to sell a shirt he needs someone he knows it will look good on. People think this is a good shirt and buy it themselves. Therefore having skinny models is just another way to advertise.

What is the best workout plan for a 13-year-old girl who is 5'3'' and weighs 120 pounds with a big waist and fat stomach?

You need to study why and how the body works. There are factors such as intake- or what kind of intake, exercise-what kind. ETC. Nutrition and exercise are the keys. First of all, your Body Mass Index is 21.3, which is perfectly healthy. 18.5 or lower is underweight and 25-29.9 is overweight and 30 or above is obese. Second, it doesn't matter how much you weigh what matters is your body fat percentage which you can usually have calculated at a local gym, considering your age talk to a parent about getting this done, there are also ways to do it at home but you'll have to order the measuring tools online usually. Third, it is not recommended for boys or girls under the age of 15 to do weight training because your bodies aren't developed enough to handle the strain, supposedly, I started working out after someone at school made a comment. I have been working out since I was 14. The only way to lose fat in one specific area is to lose fat all over which can be done with a good aerobic workout. Workouts should last between 20 -30 minutes and can include, running, walking, jumping rope, swimming, anything that gets your heart rate up and you enjoy. A good way to stay in shape, especially at your age is to join a sport at school. I loved soccer and swimming. It was a great way to make friends, boost my confidence and best of all it kept me in great shape. Make sure you are eating right too. You should be eating 5 or 6 small meals a day. For example: Breakfast might be A bowl of oatmeal with an apple and a glass of milk, have a small meal 2-3 hours later, maybe an apple and some string cheese, lunch should be 2-3 hours after this and should include a portion of lean protein like chicken or fish as many vegetables as you want and some sort of carb, like a roll. Have another snack in a couple of hours, I like 1 cup of cottage cheese with some sort of fruit yogurt. Dinner should be similar to lunch and you can always have dessert. The most important thing is portion size. One portion of meat is usually about the size of your fist. Well this answer is getting kind of long, so the most important thing is how much you weigh shouldn't affect how you feel about your image. I wish I would have worried about it less when I was your age, there were so many other more fun things I could be doing like swimming, shopping, playing with my friends... Weight shouldn't rule your life at any age, so long as you eat right and stay active you don't have to woory about manageing your weight 24/7 and you'll have a lot more time to have fun and do the things you really love. If your really want to pursue the weight thing, I would suggest talking to your parents or a friend's parent, maybe even your gym teacher about your concerns, let them know that they are real concerns and you would like some help researching. My favorite book was Bill Phillips' Body for life, plus it's something your parents can get in on if they want to. Hope this helped.

How height increases after the age of 23?

Some would claim there are products or shakes you can take to increase your height at any age. The truth is, that's not really doing it naturally (letting your genetics take its course is doing it naturally).

But even products that boast to boost your height after your body is done growing, well, aren't going to work.

You can encourage your full genetic potential. Eat lots of protein, exercise and don't smoke or drink too much caffeine, especially during your teenage years.

At 21, some people still do grow, so you never know.
