Summary Introduction
To determine:
The reason for the difference in exertion between grandfather and Savannah after a long day of gardening
Introduction:
The majority of muscles in the body are formed by skeletal muscles. They comprise about 40% of the total body weight of a human being. Skeletal muscles are normally connected to bones with the help of tendons. The tendons are made up of collagen. A skeletal muscle is a group of muscle cells called muscle fibers, as similar to a nerve fibre which is a group of neurons. The long and cylindrical cell containing up to hundred nuclei and present near the surface of the fiber is called a muscle fiber.

This drug acts on specific skeletal muscles to (1) block the release of Ca2+ ions from the sarcoplasmic reticulum, (2) inhibit the pivoting ability of the myosin heads of the thick filaments, and (3) block the production of ATP by the mitochondria in skeletal muscles. By using this drug, contraction of certain skeletal muscle fibers is reduced, which keeps those muscles from producing spasms. In the above scenario, Fremtol’s effect of blocking muscle mitochondrial ATP production would result in the inability of the muscle to make ATP from ___________. a. creatine phosphate b. anaerobic glycolysis c. aerobic respiration d.
