Smooth muscle

just a property of the muscle itself. Several drugs including lignocaine, atropine, hexamethonium, and nicardipine were induced to a piece of guinea pig ileum under a standard hydrostatic pressure of 5.0 cm/H2O, and hence the effects determined that the peristalsis reflex is dependent on neuronal activity. The results of the experiment confirmed with the hypothesis, which stated that lignocaine, atropine, and hexamethonium would reduce the contractile response of the smooth muscle, yet…

nerves or around blood vessels. Its functions are to provide strength, elasticity and support to the skin and muscles. d) Compact Connective Bone Tissue: this tissue contains collagen and calcium phosphate which gives to the bone strength and firmness. The functions of this tissue is to support other softer tissues, to protect internal organs, to help in the movement of skeletal muscles attached to bones, to storage minerals such as calcium and phosphorus, to product platelets, blood cells…

extensively used to identify and observe the muscle disease. It is present in higher concentration in serum in reply to muscle insult and is the most delicate sign of muscle injury, which gives a precise estimate of progression of muscle injury (Bohlmeyer TJ et al.1994).It is found mainly in the myofibrils, mitochondrial membrane and the muscle cytoplasm (Bessman SP and Carpenter CL, 1985). CK is a dimer molecule, and composed of two subunits, CK-M (muscle type) and CK-B (brain type) and has…

Fast & Slow Twitch Muscle Muscles are the functional units of tissue that move the skeletal system. There are two primary forms of muscle fibers, fast twitch muscles and slow twitch muscles. Fast twitch muscles contract fast and exert large amounts of power in a quick manner.People with high percentages of fast twitch muscles are generally good sprinters and are strong individuals Slow twitch muscles can put out steady power for long amounts of time and perform optimally in endurance training…

Blood pressure is the pressure applied by blood on the walls of blood vessels, it is controlled by a negative feedback system where heart rate and blood volume need to be altered in order to control the pressure. Local negative feedback systems and heart rate is regulated but the cardiovascular centre which also in turn controls neural and hormonal mechanisms. Neurons regulate heart rate and contractility and some neurons inhibit, stimulate or control heart rate by causing constriction which…

2016). Endoplasmic reticulum: Its main function is translation and folding of new proteins across the ER membrane. Its structure is made up of a single membrane system (BSCB, 2016). There are 2 types of endoplasmic reticulum rough endoplasmic and smooth. They appear to be separate however they are sub compartments of the…

to consider trying a microcurrent facial. This is a non-invasive and pain-free treatment that can be performed by an esthetician. It involves using an electrical current in order to stimulate elastin and collagen production. It also massages the muscles in the face. Why Microcurrent Facials Should Be A Part Of Your Skin Care Regimen There are many ways that you can benefit from getting microcurrent facials on a regular basis. This treatment can be safely performed on anyone regardless of their…

Bones of the skeleton  Muscles  Cartilage  Tendons  Ligaments  Joints  Connective tissue binding to the body’s organs If you break the system down into its separate parts you can gain a deeper understanding of how they create a joint working system within the body. For example, the Skeletal…

loss, building muscles or even to gain weight. The most common ingredients in supplements include vitamins, proteins, enzymes and amino acids. The most common types of supplements used in the market today are Decacor Creatine which is a creatine supplement, General Nutrition Corporation (GNC) cod liver oil which is a fish oil supplement, Hydroxycut Hardcore Elite which is a testosterone supplement, Instant Knockout which is a testosterone supplement and also, Jack3D micro which is muscle…

also stores calcium and has blood-shaping cells. 2] It consists of osteons and Haversian system. The osteons has a canal which is encompassed by concentric rings of matrix. 1] There are four main types of tissues; epithelium, connective, nervous and muscle, inside of every tissue type, there are varieties present. In image 1, 2 and 3 are of epithelium tissues that create a barrier between the outside environment and the body inside called skin. The skin is the largest organ and counteracts…
