Name the disease which cause paralysis of the facial muscles?
Bell's Palsy is one. Dysfunctional cranial nerve causes partial facial paralysis
What is the movement when your muscles move your ribs to make the lungs bigger and smaller?
It is air that does it, as well as the rib muscles themselves. The diaphragm contracts, expanding the internal area of the thoracic (chest) cavity, causing a drop in pressure. Air is then drawn through the nose into the lungs, which expand, causing the ribs to move to accomodate this.
they both involve mutations in which fat replaces normal tissue
Which muscles cause eversion of the foot?
Peroneus (fibularis) longus muscle and Peroneus (fibularis) brevis muscle
The endomysium is the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber (cell). The perimysium encircles a group of muscle fibers, forming a fascicle. The epimysium encircles all the fascicles to form a complete muscle.
Cramplike pain of the leg muscles caused by poor circulation?
This could be caused by a number of reasons, ranging from muscle fatigue and lactic acid build up to low sodium in the area to deep vein thrombosis (DVT) which is a lot more serious. My advice is go and see your doctor if you're not sure.
What are the parts of muscular system and their functions?
The responsibility of the muscular system is the movement of the human body. There are at least 700 muscles that make up approximately half of a person's body weight. Each muscle functions in different ways but they all contribute to proper movement.
What is the proper name for the large muscle in your thigh?
you can divide your thigh in to 2 parts with front portion being called quadriceps(includes muscles called vastus intermedius,vastus lateralis,vastus medialis,rectus femoris) and back portion called hamstring(includes muscles called semitendinosus,semimembranosus,bicep femoris)
Is the heart the most important muscle in the body?
The heart is the most important muscle of the body because it is the organ that pumps the blood throughout the body to carry out oxygen and nutrients, and helps collect and eliminate carbon dioxide and other wastes from the body.
Why and how muscles are the major source of body heat?
First of all, muscles are not the source of body heat. It is the metabolism that they undergo that produce heat. Each time a muscle move (involuntary, voluntary, or cardiac), a certain amount of calorie is required to be burned to effect a muscle contraction. For carbohydrates and proteins as fuel, we extract 4 calories per gram., For fats, it's about 9 calories per gram, though the body never directly always use the latter because of toxic by-products at the end of the reaction. The successive contraction and relaxation of muscles, as in running or exercising might give an idea to a layman that the muscles are the major source of body heat, but in the medical and scientific discipline, it is not. Teachers, especially Science teachers, must be trained in English as well, to be able to deliver to their pupils the exact skills, knowledge, and training in a systematic way, including asking questions that are not out of order.
What is function and location of skeletal muscle?
Skeletal muscles are attached to bones which make up the skeleton. They are attached to the bones by tendons. The tendons are made out of tissues that run through the muscular tissue and come together at the end forming tendons. The major function of the skeletal muscles is movement. Contraction of the fibres (cells) in the skeletal muscle generates tension which is transmitted through the tendons. Pairs (or more) of muscles generating tension on the tendons will move the bone. Skeletal muscles are also used in the maintenance of posture as the muscles have to contract to keep the body up right. An other function is the by product of movement; heat. The heat produced during the contraction of muscles, is an important homeostatic mechanism as it helps to maintain the body's core temperature.
Hope this helps, have just finished a massive assignment on this subject!
When your muscles move your ribs to make the lungs bigger or smaller?
A misunderstanding.
That's not how breathing actually works. Your rib cage is all but immobile.
What is the first event in muscle fiber contraction?
An action potential send by a motor neuron arriving at the neuromuscular junction. Then this causes the muscle sarcolemma depolarizing and sending more action potentials into sarcomeres that release calcium ions from the sacroplasmic retinaculum. This causes the actin filaments to allow the globular heads of the myosin filaments to bind to them (like walking up a ladder) and shorten the muscle fiber into contraction.
What two ways are smooth muscles and heart muscles different from skeletal muscles?
cardiac and smooth muscles are involuntary skeletal muscles are voluntary.
smooths muscles are in you intestine and digestive tract usually cardiac muscles are in your heart skeletal muscles are connected to tendons and ligaments
How many smooth muscles are in the human body?
Smooth muscle tissue isn't divided into specific muscles like skeletal muscle tissue is, but these organs have smooth muscle in them:
Stomach
Small intestine
Large intestine
Iris (of the eye)
Arrector pili (responsible for goosebumps)
Ureters
Bladder
Parts of the esophagus
Blood vessels
Bronchi and bronchioles (the airways in the lungs)
Uterus
What facial expression muscles are used in a surprise expression?
Facial muscles are usually employed to display surprise.
What is the main muscle involved with respiration?
The diaphragm is the main muscle of respiration. It is a dome shaped muscle with it's origin at the sternum, xiphoid process, coastal cartilage, 7th to 12th ribs and L2/3. It's insertion is the central tendon.
What is the origin of the tricep?
The long head from infra-glenoid tubercle, the medial convers most of the posterior area of humerus and the lateral from a ridge above the spiral groove. That is for the brachii Or do you mean Surae?
What is the stabilizer muscle in knee extension?
Rectus femoris
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedialis
Vastus lateralis
SartoriusWhat muscle separates you lungs from your stomach called?
Diaphragm seperates the respiratory system and the digestive system.
