Question
Chapter 12, Problem 25RQ
Summary Introduction
To determine: The factor which affects the rate of energy generation in picking up a pencil versus picking up a full gallon container of milk.
Introduction: The movement of the muscles is defined as the contraction and relaxation of the muscles fibers and the process of contraction and relaxation of muscles require ATP. The ATP inside the cell is produced by the mitochondria as they are called as the powerhouse of the cell.

It is in the low-energy, bent position.arrow_forwardName the three types of lever systems and indicate the arrangement of effort, fulcrum, and load in each.

- Muscles do not shorten even though they are actively contracting during a/an ------------ contraction. isometric tetanic Treppe isotonicarrow_forwardYou are trying to jump from a crouched position (knee fully flexed), 1) list all of the muscles at the knee and hip that would move you from this position to in the air. 2) using the principle of active insufficiency please also outline the timing of the muscle force for the knee and the hip (i.e. what muscles provide the most force early in the movement, when the knee and hip are both more flexed, and what muscles provide the most force later in the movement, when the hip and knee are both more extended)arrow_forwardIf using stairs excerise is an excellent approach to strengthen the core muscles. It also engages every major muscle in your lower body - glutes, hamstrings, quadriceps, abs, and calves - in exercise, toning and sculpting your physique. Therefore climbing stairs for 2-4 hours daily will build the muscle mass and strength, stamina, endurance and flexibility of the body. But what exactly can do for person strength is that legs only, stamina and endurance and resilience and flexibility what does that mean to get better? I'm talking about ten staircase floor of ten steps each one that should be 200 steps together. So did 2-4hrs daily fir two months what can you get for strengths and more how strong can I lift?arrow_forward
- In my study guide, I have been going through notes and I am unsure of the topic on muscle arrangements. The main concept from the chapter on the study guide states "Describe the way that muscles are arranged in groups with complementary actions at a joint." So, how are the muscles are arranged by groups?arrow_forwardexplain the type of contraction in quadriceps, glutes, and calves muscle while walking isometric OR isotonic OR a mix of both. Justify your answer by defining each type of contraction and explaining how the muscle performs that type during walkingarrow_forwardExplain the role of agonist, antagonist, synergist, and fixator muscles.
