  • Contraction Of Skeletal Muscle Cells
    2,838 words
    PHYSIOLOGY 525 SKELETAL MUSCLE JANUARY 28, 1998 There are three types of muscle: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac. From histology you know that skeletal and cardiac muscle are striated and smooth muscle is "smooth"- not striated. Muscles are often referred to as "sarco", from the Greek word meaning strength. Therefore instead of saying cytoplasm one uses sarcoplasm. The endoplasmic reticulum in muscle types is called sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR). Sometimes authors instead of using "sarco" they say "...

    Diffusion is the process of particles (particularly cells) moving from one area of lesser concentration to an area of higher concentration. A good example of diffusion would be dropping a drop of blood into water, the effect would result with the water all turning a reddish color and therefore the blood cells moved to an area of lesser concentration until equilibrium was reached. Another good example would be when somebody sprays a fragrance; it eventually travels to one side of the room from wh...

    THE MICROSCOPE EXPERIMENT 1 BACKGROUND: The use of a microscope is to provide a magnified view of objects (that are being analysed) that are otherwise to small to be seen by the naked eye. They can be described according to their illumination and lens arrangement. (i) Microscopes are able to use either light or electrons as their illumination source, which are respectively known as light powered and electron microscopes. (ii) Monocular microscopes have a single eye piece where as binocular micro...

    Tissue Engineering Muscle by Micropatterning for Therapeutic Transplantation There is growing interest to treat patients with inherited or acquired muscular disorders by transplantation of cells to the site of dysfunction to restore normal function. One candidate cell source is skeletal muscle, which can be harvested from surrounding tissues for cell culture before injecting into the site of dysfunction. However, this treatment may not be practical because harvesting skeletal muscle may lead to ...
  • Muscles In The Mice With Dmd
    2,104 words
    Imagine being a parent and discovering that your child won't be able to walk by the age of 12 and won't live past the age of 20. This has become a reality for many parents as they find out that their child has a form of muscular dystrophy. This particular type of muscular dystrophy is referred to as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy, which is a genetically inherited disorder that is the most common and severe of all muscular. It is found in 1 of every 3,500 males and is characterized by progressive mu...
  • Tissue In The Muscle Cells
    585 words
    Muscular System The human muscular system is made up of over 600 connecting muscles. All of the muscles work together in sync to make your body move in several different ways. None of the body systems can work without muscles and your muscles can't work without your other body systems so that means that all of your body systems need each other to work and make your body function correctly. Your muscles need protein, nutrients, and oxygen to move and work. Then the circulatory system carries thos...

    The parasite Trichinella and its control of host muscle Trichinella is a very important intracellular parasite. James Parent first discovered Trichinella in humans in 1875 during a medical study. There are five species of Trichinella. Medically the most important is Trichinella spiralis. It is found worldwide and has the ability to infect a wide range of mammalian hosts. Unlike many other species of intracellular parasites, such as Leishmania and Plasmodium, Trichinella does not kill the host ce...
  • Smooth Muscle Fibers And Cardiac Muscle Fibers
    1,095 words
    Anatomy of Muscle Cells There are three types of muscle tissue in the human body. These muscle tissues are skeletal muscles, smooth muscles and cardiac muscles. Each of these muscle tissues has it very own anatomical makeup, which vary from muscle to muscle. The muscle cells in a muscle are referred to as muscle fibers, these fibers are skeletal muscle fibers, smooth muscle fibers and cardiac muscle fibers. The anatomy of a skeletal muscle fiber is formed during embryonic development. Skeletal m...
