p>Bone biomechanical studies indicate that leg bone structure can be related to different locomotor patterns. The osteological correlates of extant primates' locomotion patterns and substrate use are important to consider when estimating corresponding behaviors of extinct primates. Here, we test if these...
smooth muscle- muscle tissue that does not appear striated under the microscope; has the form of thin layers or sheets muscle system,muscular structure,musculature- the muscular system of an organism tonicity,tonus,tone- the elastic tension of living muscles, arteries, etc. that facilitate response...
Movement mechanics as a determinate of muscle structure, recruitment and coordination During muscle contractions, the muscle fascicles may shorten at a rate different from the muscle-tendon unit, and the ratio of these velocities is its gear... JM Wakeling,OM Blake,I Wong,... - 《Philosophical...
skeletal muscle,striated muscle- a muscle that is connected at either or both ends to a bone and so move parts of the skeleton; a muscle that is characterized by transverse stripes musculus quadriceps femoris,quadriceps,quadriceps femoris,quad- a muscle of the thigh that extends the leg ...
However, there exists little evidence that these therapeutic measures are effective in preventing the progression of change in radiographic joint structure. A recent prospective study did not find changes in thigh muscle strength to precede or to be associated with radiographic progression (i.e., ...
Aerobic and anaerobic work capacities, leg muscle structure and metabolic characteristics of m. vastus lateralis (NT), m. rectus femoris (RG) and mm. gastrocnemii (NT and RG) were analysed in five male and seven female elite orienteers from the Swedish National team (NT) and a reference gr...
The present paper is concerned with the relationship of breast development in girls to the growth of fat muscle and bone in the leg. In broader terms it is thus a study of the relationships between sexual maturation and body structure as they are reflected by a single maturational criterion ...
CP affects muscle structure at the level of the muscle-tendon unit (A), the fascicles (B), and sarcomeres (C).A: Muscle belly lengths have been observed as shorter in CP, while tendons have been reported as longer.B: Fascicle lengths (green line) are reported to be shorter or similar...
A video by Armando Hasudungan on YouTubedetailing the structure of skeletal muscle. “The Sliding Filament Theory of Muscle Contraction” by Jacob L. Krans, Ph.D. on Scitable. Visible Body Web Suiteprovides in-depth coverage of each body system in a guided, visually stunning presentation....
Another structure of interest is the perineal body, which lies between the vagina and anus and descends in patients with prolapse [40]. The slow-twitch fibers of the levator muscle provide tone to the pelvic floor and help to support the pelvic viscera [25]. With contraction of the muscle,...
