Whats the best type of food for your muscles?
Egg is considered a protein, so basiclly you would simply invest in some protein shake's from GMC or etc. to improve body mass. Be smart and eat smart! Protein is high on the list as the above poster said. Meats, eggs, different protein shakes, but you should also introduce lots of vegetables, fruits and dairy products and drink 8 - 8 ounce glasses of water a day (or more if you are perspiring heavier) and power drinks to get the salt back into your system. Be carefull not to go over board on Protein most body builders take in to much protein and end up putting on alot of bad fat. Take more carbohydrates then protein. Carbs can be white meat e.g Fish and chicken. Take Omega3 fish oil tablets as well they are a great source of energy as they are EFA - essential fatty acids which are alot like carbs and can give the same energy but deposit next to no fat!.
What are some examples of voluntary and involuntary muscle groups?
Well, an example of involuntary is your esophagus or intestines. We were taught that digestion is an involuntary process, so I am sorry but I do not know of any voluntary muscle examples.
What do your quad body part do?
The quadriceps femoris is a group of muscles that, basically, do pretty much the same thing for the leg that the triceps does for the arm.
If you're sitting in a normal position in a chair, your quadriceps is relaxed; if in this position you were to raise your lower leg and foot without moving your upper leg, the muscle you would be using to do so is the quad.
What is involuntary trembling of the body?
Involuntary trembling of the body may mean that you are too cold and your body is shivering to help keep you warm. If it does not occur in a cold situation, it may be an indication of fear, or of a more serious medical problem. If it continues, you should seek medical attention.

the tricep muscle is on the bottom or back side of your body
What is the agonist muscle when performing a leg curl?
The agonist muscle used in a side leg raise is the adductor.
The lengthening of a muscle is called 'relaxing'. As the SHORT muscles work antagonistically- when one contracts, one relaxes. Therefore as one muscle shortens the other lengthens. This is between the bicep and tricep and the hamstring and quadricep. When a muscle shortens it also thickens, this is why you can feel your muscle rise when you bring your arm towards you.
Fascia are layers of fibrous tissue covering and separating muscles.
Why is the cardiac muscle an involuntary muscle?
Something that is "voluntary" is something that a person decided to do. Volition and volunteer are the same root word.
"Involuntary" is something that a person does not choose to do. You don't decide to have your heart beat, it just does it on its own.
What are some of the biggest and most powerful muscles?
The largest by mass is the gluteus maximus, which is the muscle that forms your butt. It's also fairly strong (its job is basically to keep your torso upright), but the muscle that exerts the most raw force per ounce is probably the masseter, which is the muscle that you use to close your jaw. It can exert over 200 pounds of force at your molars, and isn't all that big.
What is largest to smallest muscle fiber myofibril fascicle or filament?
The largest skeletal muscle connective tissues are fascicles, which are bundles of fibers, which are made of myofibrils, which consist of myofilaments.
Why does your muscle form a hump when your arm is bent?
A muscle can do one of two things: it can contract, or it can relax. If the muscle is connected by tendons to bones, it will then pull on those bones when it contracts, and it will stop pulling on them when it relaxes. The arrangement of bones and muscles in the human arm allows muscles to bend the arm, by contracting. Also, muscles work in pairs. One muscle bends the arm while another straightens it out again. A single muscle can only pull in one direction, so you need a combination of muscles to be able to move around in a useful manner.
