Question
Chapter 18.3, Problem 4CYU
Summary Introduction
To review:
The two figures represented in figure 18.4 and determine the condition, in which the capillary bed of the calf muscles would be in from if calf raise is performed at the gym.
Introduction:
The exercise and warm up of the muscles result in the change in the blood temperature and blood flow. The conditioning of the calf muscles is required for a longer durability in the efficiency of its functions. The calf raise exercise involves an additional demand of power supply through the blood to the calf muscles.

Students have asked these similar questions
Your patient just took up jogging in the evening for exercise and complains that after a
mile or so his left leg begins to hurt. You question him on movements that do or do not
evoke pain and find that it is widespread throughout his left lower limb. Based on the
location of the constriction of the artery (indicated by the arrow), which movement
would you think would be LEAST affected by the reduced arterial blood flow to the
concerned muscles?
A. Lateral rotation of thigh
B. Extension of leg
C. Plantar flexion of foot
D. Primary flexion of thigh
E. Extension of thigh
Extensor digitorum is a multi-tendoned muscle that controls the fingers and could be deemed an intrinsic muscle because the muscle itself is in the arm
a.) True
b.) False

To find a vein, let your left arm hang by your side and relax all of the muscles in that arm. After about 20-30 seconds, your veins should be more pronounced. Place the first two fingers of your right hand on one of the larger veins to mark that spot, then place your left arm in your lap (palm down) as you take the “pulse” of this vein with the same pressure and posture as you did with the artery.
