1. Contraction of smooth adductor muscles (SmA) in the brachiopod,Laqueus californicus, is followed by very slow relaxation (R 1/2=3 min). The period during which the cross-bridges are in the active state extends from the time of activation to a short time after peak tension is reached....
Their further roles in rotation of the thigh at the hip, flexion or extension of the thigh and the many roles they may play in gait are fertile ground for debate. As with many of the hip muscles, their action on the joint is determined by the original position of the femur, as well ...
How many adductor muscles exist within the body? (Count both right and left.) a. 2 b. 4 c. 6 d. 8 Adduction: The process of body movement, or motion, can be described through anatomical terms. Adduction, for instance, is an anatomical term of motion ...
Since the adductor longus muscle functions to adduct the hip, muscles that are antagonists in their action this muscle would abduct the hip. Hip...Become a member and unlock all Study Answers Start today. Try it now Create an account Ask a question Our experts ...
severe pain. I have a dull, sore pain in the crease of my quad to my hip and moving around toward the buttock. Often, stretching the quad/hip flexors and/or sitting for long periods makes me feel fatigued. I am concerned about stretching the pained area or over using those muscles. ...
(Gluteus Maximus, Gluteus Medius, Gluteus Minimus, and Tensor Fascia Lata) are responsible for lateral rotation and abduction (external movement) of your thigh. Eye abductor muscles are responsible for keeping your eyes away from the nose. Apart from these, there are abductors in our hands, ...
The main part of the muscle complex, responsible for the closure of the mouth, has undergone some changes as well, which are at the base of the homology problems encountered by different authors. In this paper the muscles have been studied in three ontogenetic stages of the siluroid Cl...
Electrophoretic patterns indicate the presence of paramyosin in all of these valve muscles. Tentative identification has also been made of the proteins responsible for actin and for myosin regulation of contraction (troponin–tropomyosin and myosin light chains, respectively). The myofilaments of the ...
Electromyography traces from bilateral lateral cricoarytenoid muscles were recorded using hookwire electrodes. Reflex responses to variations in stimulus intensity and duration were evaluated. Results Bilateral R1 responses were recorded in all patients, even during deep inspiration when the vocal folds ...
Groin injuries are recognized as one of the most difficult problems in sports medicine and they are most commonly sustained in sports such as fencing, karate, and soccer. A chronic tendinitis of the adductor muscles/tendons, especially that of the adductor longus, is the most frequently diagnosed...
