What is the muscle fiber arrangement in a pennate muscle?
short fibers, arranged obliquely to their tendons
What treatment is needed for a biceps tendon rupture?
The first step is to determine if the rupture is partial or complete. This requires the expertise of a trained Orthopedist who may use X-ray (to determine if the tendon pulled a portion of bone with the rupture) or an MRI. In the case of a complete rupture the tell-tale sign of the "balled up" bicep and significant bruising may be all the MD requires to diagnose. A complete rupture requires a surgical procedure to suture or screw the tendon back to the insertion point on the lower arm. The surgery required is an out patient procedure taking about 50 minutes. A 2" incision is made across the arm at the elbow. The tendon is re-attached and the incision is sutured. The arm is wrapped in surgical bandages and immobilized with a partial cast/splint. Icing the injury is suggested for the first 48 to 72 hours. A splint is required during this period which must be worn at all times. After 10-12 days the sutures can be removed if the MD feels the healing is sufficient. Continued use of the splint is required up until 4-5 weeks from the procedure. At this point the MD will prescribe a series of exercises to begin re-establishing full range of motion. Very light weights may also be suggested, sparingly, and not to exceed 3-5 pounds. Gradual increases of exercise and weight can begin after the 7-8th week. Full recovery can be expected, but not until the 5-6 month.
juggling is great for reflexes. if you get real good at it, try looking at something else while juggling. i don't know anything about drugs for that but i'd stay away from them.
What bone do the muscles of the rotator cuff originate?
The rotator cuff muscles are referred to occasionally as the SITS muscles. The Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus, Teres minor and the subscapularis. The Supras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Infras. originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(greater tubercle. The Teres minor originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus. The Subscapularis originates on the scapula and inserts on the humerus(lesser tubercle). The function of this muscle group is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Hope this helps.
Why is a muscle cell Eukaryotic?
ALL the cells in your body is eukaryotic. Eukaryotic by definition is a cell with a nucleus. Because all the cells in your body have a nucleus, they are all considered to be eukaryotic. The skeletal muscle in your body is multinucleated, meaning that they have many nucleus. This, however, does not mean that they suddenly don't become anymore eukaryotic or anymore prokaryotic, because it still has a nucleus.

protagonist agonist I know because I'm in agony right now.
What causes muscle cramps in the leg?
a lot of things could cause this..diabetic neuropathy, or blood clots, muscle atrophy, low potassium..get it checked out by a doctor. I found I would get leg cramps when I had over- or underexerted myself or when I was dehydrated. I don't know what causes them but I have a drug-free cure. Sit on the edge of your bathtub or on the countertop at your kitchen sink. Run cold water over the top of the foot of the leg that is affected. Avoid putting pressure on this foot. As your body gets used to the temperature, the water will start to feel warm. Shift your foot so that the cold tap water is now running over the ankle. Continue shifting between ankle and top of foot until cramp is gone. Once it is gone, lie down (preferably go to sleep). After years of debilitating leg cramps and being wakened in the middle of the night with them, I now no longer suffer from these annoying occurrences.
What disease causes muscle pain?
Myopathy is a general term describing muscle disease - from the greek "myo" for muscle and "pathos" for suffering. It is also a term used in the names of a variety of specific muscle diseases. The Muscular Dystrophy Association offers a comprehensive list of neuromuscular diseases, including:
- Duchennse muscular dystrophy (the most common and sever of MD)
- Congenital muscular dystrophy (CMD)
- Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS or "Lou Gherig's Disease")
- myopathy (multiple forms)
- Central Core Disease
- Acid Maltase Deficiency
- Inclusion-Body Myocitis
- Pearson Syndrom
- Thomsen Disease
How many muscles are used to blink your eyes?
One. The palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle involuntary closes the eyelids or palpebrae as in blinking. However, the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi is subject to the will.
How many muscles does it take to smile in numbers?
To smile, it take as many as 15 muscles in total, but ultimately it depends on which elements of a smile you are referring to. The act of raising the corners of your mouth is done by three muscles, primarily the zygomaticus major and risorius muscles and aided by the buccinator muscle. If you squint your eyes while you smile you may also use orbicularis oculi. If you scrunch your nose with your smile then you may also use your procerus and nasalis muscle. If your forehead wrinkles and eyebrows raise then your occipitofrontalis helps as well. For someone with a very expressive smile, they are likely using a lot of their facial muscles (up to 15, the rest of the facial muscles would oppose a smile and cause frowning).
"It takes one more muscle to smile than to frown, according to plastic surgeon David H. Song, MD, FACS, assistant professor at the University of Chicago Hospitals.
Newspapers around the globe assure us, "Frowning takes more muscles than smiling,"
13 to smile, 33 to frown - The Washington Post.
10 to smile, 100 to frown - The New York Times,
4 to smile, 64 to frown - The Hindu. An urban myth?
Only Cecil's "The Straight Dope" got an expert (Dr. Song) to go through the motions. A genuine smile takes two muscles to crinkle the eyes, two to pull up the lip corners and nose, two to elevate the mouth angle, and two to pull the mouth corners sideways. Total smile: 12.
On the other hand, a frown needs two muscles to pull down the lips and wrinkles in the lower face, three to furrow the brow, one to purse the lips, one to depress the lower lip, and two to pull the mouth corners down. Total frown: 11.
A fake smile, however, only takes two muscles. We detect the fake because "the eyes aren't smiling."
What is the name of the fermentation used by muscle cells?
The type of fermentation that sometimes occurs in human muscle cells is Lactic Acid fermentation.
Well there are two muscles which bend the arm: bending your arm from a straight position to a bent position uses the bicep (Latin name - Bicep Brachii) which is on the topside of your upper arm. Bending your arm from a bent position to a straight position uses the tricep (Latin name - Tricep Brachii) which is on the underside of your upper arm. Both muscles work in sinc with each other, so as one muscle tenses and contracts (causing the arm to bend one way or the other), the other losens.
What muscle is voluntary and involuntary?
Muscles that are under your conscious control are voluntary, such as flexing your elbow. The ones under unconscious control are either reflexive or involuntary, such as the muscles that move your food through your digestive system, or make your heart beat.
How many muscles are in your face?
arbiculariy oris, arbiculary occuli, masseter, zygomatic major, deppressor anguli oris, temporalis, occipitalis, frontalis, rissourios, platysma

What does skeletal muscles move?
Skeletal muscles move the body; referred to as ambulation.
There are 4 primary functions of skeletal muscle:
1. Movement
2. Posture or muscle tone
3. Support
4. Heat regulation.
Which kind of muscle movement happens without you having to think about it?
Voluntary muscle movements are the result of conscious effort by the brain. Involuntary muscles such as the heart or smooth muscles in the gut and vascular system contract as a result of non-conscious brain activity or stimuli proceeding in the body to the muscle itself.
Your answer: The heart and smooth muscles in the gut and vascular system (lungs) are muscles that work "without thinking about it" -- we call these "involuntary" muscles.
What are the energy sources for muscle contraction to occur?
Energy is supplied to muscles for contraction by means of adenosine triphosphate being stored in muscle fibers. These are stored from creatine phosphate, enough to power muscle contractions for a few seconds.
What is the opposing muscle of the pectoralis major?
The antagonist of the pectoralis major is the latissimus dorsi. Another name for the latissimus dorsi is the deltoid. This is located in the upper shoulder.
latisimus dorsi and deltoid
Deltoid
Where is triceps muscles located?
With one arm extended palm up, place you opposite hand on your arm near your elbow, on the near side (closer to you) when you bend your hand towards yourself, you should feel a muscle in your arm, that's you bicep, triceps are on the opposite side of your arm, and control the extension of your arm
biceps brachi and triceps trachi... they ARE THERE, where they are supposed to be. They are in the arm. Biceps (flexor) above, below is the extensor Triceps.
NB! when questions on BICEPs will come to an end, and start a new topic, one God knows!
What is the smallest muscles in a body?
Though the stapedius is the smallest of all muscles in the body and is located in the middle ear, the styloglossus is the shortest and smallest of all the skeletal muscles.
The tensor tympani is the shortest skeletal muscle in the human body. The stapedius is a skeletal muscle.
