Discuss the functions of the different types of levers found in our body. How do these different types of levers make our body more useful. Explain each type of lever, the position of the fulcrum, load, and applied force and give an example of each.
During a Physical Education class, you ask your students to perform a standing vertical jump. Identify the type of muscle contraction involved in the jump and describe the movement patterns of the concentric and eccentric phases. Outline the agonists, antagonists and synergist muscles, which contribute to maximum jump height. Identify the major lower body joints and joint movements, which contribute to the concentric phase of the jump.

- Indicate which of the following are true. Chronically shortened muscles will lose sarcomeres in series in order to maintain ideal amounts of myofilament overlap. Contractile force is proportional to the length of a muscle. Muscle organ contraction is all or nothing. Muscle cells are surrounded by an endomysium. Actin is the thick filament and Z-lines are where the cross-bridges zig-zag to adjacent actin filaments. Muscles with fewer motor units are weaker, i.e., capable of less force. A nerve impulse, calcium, and ATP are necessary for muscle contraction. Tendons attach bones to bones and help to limit the range of motion at joints. Muscle tissue is very dynamic and will respond to chronic stress by becoming stronger (making more myofilaments), chronic contraction by becoming shorter (losing sarcomeres in series), and stretching by becoming longer (adding sarcomeres in series). Myofilaments are actually long strands of proteins.arrow_forwardDiscuss the structure of a muscle fiber indicating the location of the following:epimysium, perimysium, myofibrils and sarcolemma.arrow_forwardplease explain in detail in your own words Differentiate between muscle tone, postural tone and pathological tension in the muscles.

- An isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements is true regarding muscle contraction? When a muuscle contracts, the sarcomere remains the same size. When a muscle contracts, the H-zone becomes narrower (shortens). When a muscle contracts, the lighter I-band becomes wider. When a muscle contracts, the A-band shortens.arrow_forwardExplain how the attachments, locations, and interactions of skeletal muscles make different movements possible.arrow_forward
- Analyze the Barbell press (overhead or military press) exercise by breaking the exercise into a lifting phase and lowering phase. For each phase, match the joint movements occurring and then match the force causing movement (muscle or gravity), the force resisting movement (muscle or gravity) and the functional muscle group, type of contraction with each joint for the respective phase.
