To label: The components of skeletal muscle fibres in Fig 12.1 (a).
Introduction: A complete skeletal muscle is regarded as one of the organs of the muscular system. Muscles are the largest cylindrical structure that composes of the fascicle, muscle fiber, myofibrils, and filaments.
Answer to Problem 1.1BGL
Pictorial representation:
Fig 1: Components of skeletal muscle fibre
Explanation of Solution
The fascicles are bundles of skeletal muscles that are enveloped by connective tissues, which is termed as perimysium. The epimysium is a type of connective tissue that envelops every muscle. The areolar connective tissue that is present inside the muscle is termed as endomysium. This structure composes of nerves as well as capillaries and overlies the sarcolemma. Muscle fibers are smaller in size and they are present inside the fascicle. Myofibrils are rod-like structures and form the basic unit of muscle. They are made of thick and thin filaments.
To label: The components of the fascicle in Fig 12.1 (b).
Introduction: Predominant role played by muscles in the human body is contraction. Muscles that are connected with bones, organs, and blood vessels play a significant role in movements. Muscles are also significant for stability of joints, heat production, and posture.
Answer to Problem 1.1BGL
Pictorial representation:
Fig 2: Components of the fascicle
Explanation of Solution
A muscle fascicle is formed of a bunch of skeletal muscle fibers. These fibers are enveloped by connective tissues known as perimysium. The areolar connective tissue that is present inside the muscle is termed as endomysium. Muscle fibers are smaller structures that are present inside the fascicle. The sarcolemma is a fine, tube-like structure that surrounds the fibres in skeletal muscles. Myofibrils are rod-like structures and form the basic unit of muscle. They are made of thick and thin filaments.
To label: The cross-section of a fascicle in a muscle in Fig 12.2 (a).
Introduction: The force that can be generated by a muscle fiber is determined by the muscle fascicle. Tendons are structures that connect the muscle with the bones. This junction is highly prone to injuries.
Answer to Problem 1.1BGL
Pictorial representation:
Fig 3: Cross-section of a muscle fascicle
Explanation of Solution
Skeletal muscle cells appear as long, cylindrical structures; therefore, they are generally referred to as muscle fibers. They are structured into a cluster known as fascicles. The epimysium spreads between fascicles internally, forming septa, which are called perimysium. The perimysium further stretches into thinner strands known as endomysium.
To label: The longitudinal section of muscle fibers in Fig 12.2 (b).
Introduction: Skeletal muscle fibers present in humans are large in size. The plasma membrane of the skeletal muscle fiber is known as sarcolemma. This membrane surrounds the sarcoplasm, which is the cytoplasm of the muscle fiber.
Answer to Problem 1.1BGL
Pictorial representation:
Fig 4: Longitudinal-section of muscle fibers
Explanation of Solution
The skeletal muscle fibers display striated appearance (striation) that is due to the organisation of myofilaments. These fibers are cylindrical shaped and possess more than one nucleus or multinucleated. The width of a typical muscle fiber is 10-50 μm.

- List substitutions in your diet you could make to improve it based on what you know now about a balanced diet. For instance, if you like to drink soda, you might substitute skim milk or water for some of the soft drinks you consumed. List the item you wish to replace with the new item and what you hope to accomplish with that substitution. Be sure to choose foods you know that you'd enjoy and you consider more "healthful." If you feel your diet is already balanced, describe how you accomplish your balanced intake and when you began eating this way.arrow_forwardWhich single food item contained you ate for the 3 days with the most sodium?arrow_forwardSelect a diet and choose one site that provides credible information.

In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate.

However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0 Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present. Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…arrow_forward
