What happens to your muscles when you pick up something light you expect to be heavy?

The muscles contract harder based on how heavy the object is expected to be, putting more work in to lift heavier objects the same amount. However, if they put in too much work for an object, the motion over-compensates, and the muscles simply pull everything farther, often resulting in falling over.

How much larger is 1 kg of body fat compared to 1 kg of muscle?

1 kg of body fat takes up more space in the body compared to 1 kg of muscle because fat is less dense than muscle tissue. This means that 1 kg of body fat would occupy more volume or space than 1 kg of muscle.

Why does the muscular system need homeostasis?

All systems in the body need homeostasis.

Think of homeostasis as the system that keeps body processes in balance. If a system gets out of control, it will either become too active or not be able to function at all. So homeostasis is like a thermostat in the body that regulates whether to turn some function up, or turn some function down, so that the entire organism stays close to balance.

Imagine having the furnace turned up and no way to shut it down. Or having the A/C running non-stop. Homeostasis maintains a relatively stable internal environment in the body.

Why are skeletal muscle cells multinucleated?

The number of cells depends on how large the muscle is; muscles consist of fiber bundles, which are made up of myofibrils. A sarcomere is one of the segments that the myofibril is divided into. In each fiber bundle there are multinucleate cells, which can extend the length of the skeletal muscle.

So, the number of cells in a skeletal muscle depends on the size of the muscle. for example, the number of cells in one of our triceps larger than one of the small muscles in a finger.

Do the muscles prefer the tense state or relaxed state?

Muscles generally prefer a balanced state where they are neither constantly tense nor completely relaxed. This allows for optimal blood flow, flexibility, and function. Continuous tension can lead to fatigue and stiffness, while constant relaxation can result in weakness and reduced muscle tone.

Can agonists or antagonists that mimic neurotransmitters be mistakenly stored in terminal buttons during reuptake?

Some neurotransmitter molecules have a molecular structure that precisely fits the receptor site on the receiving neuron, much as a key fits a lock. When the agonist molecule excites, it is similar enough in structure to the neurotransmitter molecule that it mimics its effects on the receiving neuron. Morphine, for instance, mimics the action of endorphins by stimulating receptors in brain areas involved in mood and pain sensations. This antagonist molecule inhibits. It has a structure similar enough to the neurotransmitter to occupy its receptor site and block its action, but not similar enough to stimulate the receptor.

What are the Three different types of hazard?

A hazard is an article, substance or condition that has the potential to harm. Although there are many hazards that you will come across, hazards are generally put into TWO main categories not three:

1.Unsafe Acts - messing around at work, running, not paying attention.

2.Unsafe conditions - bad lighting, slippery surfaces, trailing cables.

After defining what the hazard is , you will need to look at the risk associated with the hazard i.e the likelihood of harm occurring

Which is the fastest moving hormone in human body?

Epinephrine, also known as adrenaline, is considered one of the fastest-acting hormones in the human body. It is released quickly in response to stress or danger, allowing the body to prepare for the “fight or flight” response by increasing heart rate, dilating airways, and directing blood flow to essential muscles.

How do you observe protein in a tissue?

PROTEINS ARE THE MACROMOLECULES COMPOSED OF AMINO ACIDS. EVERY PROTEIN HAS A PARTICULAR SEQUENCE OF THE AMINOACIDS CALLED THE PRIMARY STRUCTURE WHICH FOLDS TO PROVIDE THE PROTEIN A PARTICULAR 3D STRUCTURE. ON THIS 3D STRUCTURE LIES THE EPITOPES OR REGIONS THAT CAN BE IDENTIFIED BY THE ANTIBODIES OR IMMUNOGLOBLINS. TO VISUALIZE A PROTEIN IN A TISSUE ONE NEEDS TO HAVE PRIMARY ANTIBODY PARTICULAR TO THE PROTEIN IN QUESTION AND THE LABELED SECONDARY ANTIBODY SPECIFIC FOR THE PRIMARY ANTIBODY. ONE CAN USE FLUROSCENT MICROSCOPES TO VISUALIZE THE PROTEINS BY TAGGING THEM WITH A FLUROCHROME ON SECONDARY ANTIBODY. GAGANJOT

What is the smallest muscle?

Individual cells could be considered smallest whole functional parts. However if you wish to be pedantic you could include the constituents of those cells all the way down to subatomic particles.

What is the fastest way to gain muscle?

Quickest way to grow muscles is with muscular exercises.

concentrate on core exercises such as bench press / squats / curls (all the basic type stuff) not on isolating muscles. do 3-4 sets with reps of 6-10 (this means u could not push another rep out - muscle failure, if this ain't happening and u could do more go heavyer) and do 2-3 exercises per muscle.

monday - chest + bi's.

wed - shoulders + legs.

fri - back + tri's.

eat lots. have 5-6+ meals a day, so, breaky, mid morning snack, lunch, arvo snack dinner, night snack.

snack means some protein and complex carbs, not a peice of fruit.

good luck

What is the amount of BTUS the human body has at rest?

1 met = 1kcal/kg/hr 1kcal = 3.97 btu At rest, the human body expends about 0.8 met. So, a 70 kg person at rest generates 0.8 * (3.97 btu * 70 kg) every hour. That would be about 222 btu/hr, which is not a measure of watts, so.... Since 1 btu/hr = 0.293 watts, that same person generates 65.14 watts at rest.

What is a concentric contraction?

concentric contraction is atype of muscle contraction which the muscle shortens while genrating aforce

The muscle shortens to produce movement.

A muscle contraction in which shortening occurs.

Can Herpes Simplex 2 appear on your back after having first outbreak in the lower part of your body?

Herpes Simplex 2 typically appears in the genital area. It is less common for the virus to appear on other parts of the body like the back after the initial outbreak. If you have concerns about a skin rash in a different location, it's best to consult a healthcare provider for an evaluation and proper diagnosis.

How do you move an electronic organ?

You can hire a local mover who specializes in moving instruments. You will want to keep the instrument level and use a truck with a ramp. There are two-part hand trucks that can be used to put the organ on wheels.

Where is the adductor located?

If you are referring to the adductor muscles of the thigh, they are all located medially on the femur and include adductor magnus, adductor longus and adductor brevis. Each muscle originates on either the pubic body or part of the inferior pubic ramus and runs to part of the femoral linea aspera. All of these muscle adduct the thigh.

What are the different types of carpet fibers?

The main types of carpet fibers are nylon, polyester, polypropylene (olefin), wool, and blends of these materials. Nylon is durable and resistant to stains, while polyester is soft and budget-friendly. Wool is a natural fiber that is luxurious and has good resilience. Polypropylene is highly stain-resistant and suitable for high-traffic areas.

How many antigens are there in the human body?

There is no definite number of antigens in the human body as the immune system can recognize a wide range of foreign substances. Antigens can come from pathogens like bacteria and viruses, as well as from our own cells in cases of autoimmune diseases. The human body constantly encounters new antigens and can generate immune responses against them.

How do you lose fat cells without losing your muscle cells?

Eat more protein, eat less fat. This is the general formula to complete your task. Also, eat carbs (fruits, vegetables, pasta-- all without butter or oil) for quick energy. Exercise: Aerobics will cause you to look thinner, free weights and weight machines will build bulk. The middle ground will make you lean and hard: pushups, situps, chinups. You can also try Isometrics, which will build up mass without making you lithe. Whatever you do, be careful when you first start exercising, and take it easy on yourself. The point is to be fit, not to kill yourself.

Liposuction. Seriously, this is controversial in the medical community. Many doctors claim you NEVER lose fat cells, the cells themselves only become smaller. Thus, if you develop a large number of fat cells in early childhood, you will probably struggle with weight all your life.

What is the prefix 'a' mean?

The prefix 'a' typically means "not" or "without." It is often used to indicate the absence or negation of what follows it. For example, "asymmetrical" means not symmetrical and "amoral" means lacking moral principles.

Is muscle memory real?

Yes, but the memory is not in the muscles themselves, it is in the nervous system.

A more correct name for it might be "learned reflexes" because this form of memory/learning happens well below the level of consciousness, near the level of the reflexes.

What is muscle worship?

Muscle worship is a form of body worship involving specifically the musculature of the worshiped participant, sometimes called the "muscle god (or goddess)". The muscle god is often very muscular, such as a competitive bodybuilder or strength athlete, although anyone in a reasonably fit, athletic condition would suffice. The worshiper is typically of a less-developed musculature; sometimes two muscle gods, goddesses, or one of each, will swap roles and worship one another's muscles.

The act of muscle worship involves the physical manifestation of appreciation, love, and obsession of the muscle god's body shape. This often involves touching, petting, rubbing, massaging, licking, kissing, and other sensual contact with the hands and mouth of the worshiper to the major muscles of the muscle god, though the worshiper will sometimes touch or rub the muscles with other parts of the worshiper's body. During the contact, the muscle god will often pose or flex the major muscles, adding to the intensity of the experience. There can also be verbal communication, often with the worshiper expressing appreciation, gratitude, and amazement while the muscle god invites the worshiper to enjoy the experience, often in a condescending or egotistical manner; the experience is as much for the muscle god's ego as it is for the worshiper's enjoyment.

The contact is usually explicitly non-sexual, and both participants usually wear some clothing, such as shorts or bodybuilders' trunks. A muscle worship session can turn sexual, however, doing so usually marks an end to muscle worship and the beginning of a muscle fetish sexual encounter. As such, the practice of muscle worship should not be confused with muscle play or teasing as part of sexual foreplay.

Although muscle worship is primarily done by male bodybuilders in the role of muscle god, both male and female bodybuilders often offer muscle worship sessions for a price to supplement their low or nonexistent income from bodybuilding and fitness competitions.

Those who engage in muscle worship, predominantly male-on-male sessions, do not consider the activity to be homosexual in nature. This is because the muscle god's musculature, and not the actual person having the muscles, are the subject of the worship. Mainstream society tends to disagree with this notion, believing that any prolonged physical contact outside of professional services (massage, medicine, competition preparation, etc), particularly that which is worshipful or obsessive, is inherently sexual, and in the case of same-gender muscle worshipers, homosexual. While there is an incidence of homosexual muscle worship, this is not the case in general; most homosexual muscle worship sessions that turn toward sexual contact qualify as muscle play as described above, and not pure muscle worship.

As its heart, muscle worship is the physical manifestation of profound appreciation and respect for a person's musculature, much in the same way that many people are excited to meet and shake hands with a sports hero or movie star, muscle worshipers feel that way about having the opportunity to touch and experience exceptional muscle.

The psychology of muscle worship is not fully understood. The practice developed from envy, jealousy, or profound appreciation for excellent muscularity. It is a relatively modern social activity that began to gain popularity with the rise of competitive bodybuilding. When the worshiper is of a less-muscular stature, the aspects of envy or jealousy are more pronounced. Typically, profound appreciation for the achievement of exceptional muscularity and stroking of the muscle god's ego remain the primary motivations, particularly when muscle worship is done between two or more accomplished bodybuilders in a session.

There is a subset of muscle worship which is more intimate in nature. This form usually involves more sexual or erotic aspects, such as domination by strength using wrestling, lifting/carrying, and other activities also common in non-muscle domination and submission sexual encounters. These encounters, while not "pure" muscle worship, most often involve opposite-gender partners, though homosexual encounters of this type are also common.

Muscle worship (both "pure" and sexual) sessions are sometimes produced professionally or by amateur webcam for the enjoyment of an audience. This voyeuristic aspect is usually sexual in nature, if not for the participants, then for their audience.
