Where is your abdomen located?
You have the sheet of muscles that protects the abdomen. They are there in front of the abdominal cavity, in the side and the back side also. The six pack muscle, called as rectus abdominis, is the prominent example of the abdominal muscle in the front. Then you have the the external oblique, internal oblique and the transversus abdominis muscles. They are there in the side of the abdomen. You have the sheet like aponeurosis of these muscles in the front of the abdomen. The position of the rectus abdominis, in relation of the aponeurosis of the above muscles, is very interesting.
How can cardiac muscle tissue get sufficient rest?
Cardiac muscle never rests.
If it ever did rest for one beat, its resetting its pulse. but if it happens too frequently, then there's a problem. if a heart did rest completely, you die. (in other words, you get a heart arrest.)
What muscles are postural antagonists to the sternocleidomastoid?
What are the antagonist of sternocleidomastiod muscle?
What is the small muscle attached to the hair called?
No muscles are associated with hair follicles,
A hair follicle is a part of the skin that grows hair by cramping old cells tightly. Attached to the follicle is a sebaceous gland, a tiny sebum-producing gland found everywhere except on the palms, lips and soles of the feet. The thicker the density of the hair, the more the number of sebaceous glands that are found.
How do muscles give form and shape to the body?
The bones are the main shape, as well as the muscles which is surrounding the bone and then the skin is draped over that.
skeleton gives shape to our body
It is the Skeletal System.
That will be your bones. They form the main skeletal shape of your body.
Which muscle circulates blood?
In humans, as in most vertebrates, the heart maintains the continuous flow of blood to the body. The right atrium receives the blood returning from the body under low pressure, and the right ventricle pumps it to the lungs, where it is oxygenated. On its return to the left atrium of the heart, the blood is pumped out to the body by the left ventricle.
What muscle inserts on the calcaneus bone via the calcaneal tendon?
The gastrocnemius, soleus and peroneus longus muscles insert at the heel (calcaneus) by way of the Achilles (calcaneal) tendon.
What are Muscular contractions for moving food?
there are muscular contractions in the oesophagus which help to move the food this rhythmic movement is known as PERISTALSIS
How much weight do muscles take up in your body?
Answer:
All muscles are not the same width or length so the weight (or mass to be technical) varies with the volume. On average the density of mammalian skeletal muscle tissue (us, beef, or mouse) is about 1.06 g/cm3 . This means that a stack of boneless lean steaks equalling about 1 cubic foot will weigh about 63 pounds.
Depends which muscle, what the sex of the person is, etc, etc.
approximately 1 pound per inch.
Each liter (33 oz/4 cups) of muscle is 1.06 kg. that is the same as 2.33 pounds. 1 liter of fat weighs 0.9 kg. Therefore if you and your friend are the same height and she has more fat but you weigh more that's why.
Muscle weight depends on the size and density, just like everything else in the world.
What is the muscle called of your upper leg?
Quadracep muscles: vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedialis, sartorius Non-quads: Biceps femoris
What procedure can a medical doctor do to correct an injury to muscle tissue?
It depends on the injury. There are many procedures available, from simple support to major surgery.
What is a skeletal and muscular system doctor called?
Orthopedic surgeons operate on and manage problems with the musculoskeletal system. Related specialties that also deal with the musculoskeletal system include physiatrists, family practitioners, podiatrists, etc.
Why are tendons important to a muscle's ability to move a bone?
Tendons are merely the end parts of muscles - at either end, generally comprising tough connective tissue that is also continuous throughout the muscle bounding the muscle and holding it together throughout.
Effectively, each muscle acts over a joint and possesses 2 ends; these ends are the tendinous parts of the muscle - or tendons.
One tendon is attached to one bone of the joint over which the muscle acts, the other tendon attaches to the other bone involved - the bones, in this sense, act as levers - the 'fulcrum' or pivoting point being the joint arrangement itself, which is between the 2 tendons of the muscle arrangement.
A ready Example might be the [frontal] 'quadriceps' muscle at the front of the knee:
The muscle tendon at the upper end of the body attaches to the large femur (upper leg) bone. The tendon at the lower end attaches to the lower leg bone or tibia, but at its upper end (just below the knee cap).
The large quad muscles contract in length such that they bulk out at the front as a result; and this contraction or shortening of length of the muscle at the front of the knee joint causes the leg to be straightened out.
Many tendons are found in and around joints and also assist in the stabilization of the joint.
What muscle is the wrist flexor that follows the ulna?
Triceps brachii and the anconeus attach to the olecrannon process. The pronator quadratus originates at the anteriodistal end for the ulna. The supinator, extensor pollicis longus and brevis, abductor pollicis longus, and extensor indicis all originate on the ulna.
How many muscles are used while angry?
Ang pagkakaalam ko.... sa isang tao pag ikaw ay galit.... mga 90!
Prabable function of muscles that make hair stand up?
OMG the hair muscles that make your hair stand up is very important. Without that your head would be flat and your hair wouldn't be allined perfectly in order ...ex . 111111111 stimulating hair and 222222 none muscluar hair.....11111111 :D 1112212212121 BAD
Muscle spindle receptors which are located in the belly's of muscles measure length of stretch and speed of change. They send this afferent neural information to the posterior horn of the spinal cord where and interneuron interprets the information and if the stretch is ballistic (if it changes length too rapidly) it will trigger an efferent motor unit, or many motor units, through the anterior horn of the spinal cord to contract the muscle.
Where is the largest muscle in the body located?
The biggest (bulkiest) of the skeletal muscles is the Gluteus maximus - the buttock muscle. It is a very superficial and prominent muscle. In humans it is bigger than that of chimpanzees and gorillas. There are three major muscles in the buttock: the Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus.
The Gluteus maximus has an origin in the iliac crest (the hip bones upper margin) as well as from the sacrum (the triangular bone forming the hip girdle). The Gluteus maximus is inserted into the femur, or thigh bone. The job of the Gluteus maximus is to move the thigh away from body in median line. It also rotates the thigh laterally, or sideways.
proteins and muscle tissue (such as fats etc.)
They are mostly made up of proteins.
How much muscle milk is too much?
any muscle milk is too much. its synthetic garbage with primarily soy protein and chemicals like acesulfame potassium. use a natural whey shake or onesource optimal nutrition for real, nutrition based muscle.
