Skeletal muscles could be named according to their location, origin, and insertion, number of origins, shape, size, direction, and function. Location— muscles derive their names according to their anatomical region. For example, the rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis are found in the ...
There are also skeletal muscles that do not pull against the skeleton for movements. For example, there are the muscles that produce facial expressions. The insertions and origins of facial muscles are in the skin, so that certain individual muscles contract to form a smile or frown, form soun...
associated with a macro lens of 60 mm, and an EOS 6D camera associated with a macro lens of 100 mm. This research was approved by the bioethics committees of the Universidad del Tolima (agreement number 2.3-059), Universidade de São Paulo (CEUAx agreement number 3928240820), and Universid...
Tooth-contact sensations are considered essential to boost jaw adductor muscles during mastication. However, no previous studies have explained the importance of the inhibitory reflex of human anterior-tooth (ANT)-contacts in mastication. Here I present
Ticks are blood-feeding arthropods that require heme for their successful reproduction. During feeding they also acquire pathogens that are subsequently transmitted to humans, wildlife and/or livestock. Understanding the regulation of tick midgut is impo
The following learning resources will explain everything you need to know about the innervation of the hand, as well as its origins. Neurovasculature of the hand Explore study unit Brachial plexus Explore study unit Arteries & veins Since the hand is the terminal region of the upper extremity...
(three times the number of capillaries of white muscle per unit weight). Mitochondria in red muscle are large and abundant and energy is supplied by the aerobic oxidation of fats. During exercise, little change occurs in muscle glycogen or in the build-up of lactates; recovery after exercise...
materials such as electroactive polymers can produce large actuation strokes (ε~ 4.5 %), but they are weak (Y~ 1.1 GPa); other like piezoceramics are strong (Y~ 64 GPa) but their strain amplitudes are restricted to ~0.2 %. Metallic muscles are unique for a number of reasons, but none...
