To draw: Simple sketches showing a person stretching a spring.
Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in a different form and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another form. Energy is defined as the capability to do work.

Introduction: Energy is necessary for all living organisms to perform their life processes. Living cells obtain energy in a different form and they also have the mechanisms to alter energy from one form to another form. Energy is defined as the capability to do work. When the work is done, energy is transferred from one form to another form or between systems. Energy is generally expressed in units of work that is kilojoules (kJ). Energy can also be expressed in units of heat energy, that is, kilocalories (kcal).

To draw: Simple sketches showing the release of tension.

- Discuss the functions of muscle proteins (8 or more) and give an example for each.arrow_forwardCompare and contrast the major biochemical and mechanical properties of the three primary types of muscle fibers found in human skeletal muscle.arrow_forwardDescribe in detail the events at the neuromuscular junction and how these events allow for the excitation-contraction coupling event to occur. Be sure to also include in detail all the steps at the NMJ and the steps of the excitation-contraction coupling event, including the cross bridge cycle.arrow_forward
- ney: Load (L) = 5 kgs = Effort E = Fulcrum Weight of forearm = 1.8 kgs L = Load Biceps brachii muscle Distance of load from elbow joint = 35 cm %3D Effort (E) = contraction of biceps brachii Distance of center of mass of forearm from elbow = 17 cm Distance of tendon from elbow = 4 cm A) Draw the free-body diagram to represent the forces and moments Load (L) = weight of object plus forearm B) Write the torque equation for static equilibrium Fulcrum (F) = elbow jointarrow_forwardIsometric exercise is best described as applying a force O a) with movement through a full and complete range of motion O b) while a muscle is lengthening and returning to a resting position c) without any change in length of the muscle O d) at a constant speedarrow_forwardGive an example of an aerobic traning exercise program using the FITT Principlearrow_forward
