Summary Introduction

To determine:

The reason that the biceps are not used while bending the arm to sit on a chair.

Introduction:

Biceps are the muscles that have two points of origin. They are found on the upper side of the arm. The main function of biceps is in lifting objects.

Triceps are the muscles that have a three point of attachment. They are found below the biceps. The main function of triceps is also in lifting objects.

A) Describe the difference between strength and power during a squat. Provide a quantitative example that illustrates the difference. B) During a squat, the weight you have on your shoulders has a certain amount of gravitational potential energy. As you squat down and come to a stop at the bottom of the squat, some of that energy is lost. Where does it go?
I. INSTRUCTION: Compute for the following given problem. 1. Emily can lift 21 kg (210 newtons force) using muscles that have a cross-sectional area of 6 cm2. Use this formula to work out how many newtons per square centimetre her muscles can pull with: Formula: Force/Area
2. We discussed how muscle spindles allow for precision of movement as a muscle lengthens, and particular muscles which require more precise movements will contain more spindles. In addition to this precision control over muscle length, there are other differences between muscles which enable more precision in how much force is generated. Consider the two graphs below which depict force generated by two different muscles as additional motor units are recruited. Force Muscle A Load Force Muscle B Load a) Describe why the first steps for a low force contraction in both muscles are smaller than the later ones in the context of motor units and force production.
