What is the difference in the use of muscle glycogen and liver glycogen?
Liver glycogen can easily produce glucose by glycogenolysis and that can be used by local cells for respiration.
but as muscle cells lack Glucose-6-phosphate , in muscle glycogen cannot get transferred to glucose and hence cannot be used locally.

Does the deltoid muscle act to adduct the arm at the shoulder?
Yes. Deltoid (Delta like.) is the prime mover of arm. It moves shoulder joint in forward, backward and laterally. It is a continuation ofTrapeziusmuscle. It is 'not' mentioned in any anatomy books. But you can verify it. Trapezius is inserted in inner side of clavicle and spine of scapula and from outer side of the same Deltoid muscle starts.
Can naproxen be used to treat a torn ligament or inflammation in the rotator cuff?
Naproxen is an antiinflammatory drug, and may reduce inflammation in the rotator cuff. In itself, it cannot heal a torn ligament.
is produced by
Clostridium tetani bacteria. Tetanus involves generalized rigidity and painful convulsive
spasms of skeletal muscles, occurring 3 to 21 days after infection. The muscle stiffness
usually involves the jaw (lockjaw) and neck muscles, and then becomes generalized.
How are triceps and biceps useful?

What muscles do the Kegel exercises strengthen?
In men, Kegel exercises can strengthen the muscles that support the erection, in addition to helping with urinary incontinence and other medical problems. These are strengthening exercises that involve contracting and releasing of the muscles between the scrotum and anus (the muscles involved when you are starting and stopping the flow of urine or when you are "holding in" urine or feces) which are called the PC muscles or the pubococcygeus muscles. The exercises are done in several sessions of multiple repetitions daily.
Kegel exercises are used for treating male incontinence, premature ejaculation, erectile dysfunction, prostatitis and swelling from prostatic hypertrophy (BPH).

What acid is produced in the muscles during strenuous exercise?
During strenuous exercise, lactic acid or 2-hydroxypropanoic acid is formed. Lactic acid buildup occurs during strenuous exercise, the body is incapable of removing the waste product from the muscle tissue. When lactic acid buildups it creates a burning sensation, however over recent years and studies, scientists have been doing more research on the acid and believe that is actually doesn't cause or increase muscle soreness but rather is an important fuel source for active muscles. But, more research is needed in this particular field for more definitive proof and information to be discovered.
The most distinguishing characteristic of muscle tissue is?
Excitability = the ability to receive and respond to a stimulus
Contractility = the ability to shorten
Extensibility = the ability to be stretched
Elasticity = the ability to resume normal length after contraction or having been stretched.

Does your brain control your muscles?
Let's consider an analogy.
The Human body and the computer:
The brain can be compared to the CPU of a computer. The Skeletal muscular system would then be the equivalent of the key board.
The Skeletal muscular system is the one and only part of the human body that we can feel and control.
In a computer, does the key board controls the CPU or the CPU controls the key board? For the manufacturer, one controls the other. He has to improve both so that the interaction between the two becomes easier and more reliable.
However, according to the user it is the key board that controls the CPU. In fact, he need not even have to know that the computer has a CPU.
The brain can't be improved. We can only make the best use of what we have got.
What is 'I' anatomically?
What is the 'You' we are talking about? Lets consider its first person equivalent, 'I'. What is this 'I' anatomically?
All the skeletal muscles of the body can contract and relax isometrically as a single unit called Unified Skeletal Muscle, popularly known as the mind. This can contract voluntarily (under our control) or involuntarily (On its own). As default, the voluntary part is trapped between two layers of involuntary parts.
This voluntary part of the Unified Skeletal Muscle or Mind is what we call 'I'. The involuntary part is what we call Self.
What controls the brain?
Under normal conditions it is the 'I' that controls our entire life through the brain, the brain playing a very passive role. In fact, we need not even have to know that we have a brain to use the brain.
