For this set of questions you will need to stand up from the chair you are sitting in,
and then sit back down. Do this slowly so that you can pay attention to what is
happening, and if necessary feel the tone of the muscles in your legs as your
standing and sitting (If you are lying down or standing start from a seated position,
then stand, then sit).
a) During the standing phase, what function is being carried out at the hip joint?
b) What are the prime movers (agonists) that are responsible for this particular
movement (Hint: You should be able to feel them activated)?
c) During the standing phase, what function is being carried out at the knee joint?
d) What are the prime movers (agonists) that are responsible for this particular
movement (Hint: You should be able to feel them activated)?
e) As you sit back down, you realize that some of the same muscles activated during
standing are also active when going from standing to sitting. Explain?
Khalil Mack is a professional football player who graduated from UB (and took biopsychology while an undergrad here). Because he’s a professional athlete, weighs about 250 lbs, and is much stronger than I will ever be, the chance of me tackling him all by myself is virtually zero. But, imagine the following: I grab Mack’s left foot and hold on for dear life, and, at the exact same time¸ your TA, Zoe, grabs his right foot, another TA, Anna, grabs is left foot, while your other TA, Susan, jumps on his back. We might (if we’re lucky and the wind blows just right) have a chance of stopping him. The four of us grabbing Mack, all at the exact same time illustrates which principle of synaptic communication? (Thankfully Mack is a defense end, so we’ll never have to tackle him.)
a. reflex arc
b. inhibitory post synaptic potentials
c. spatial summation
d. temporal summation

Neck muscles are used to tilt its head in an adorable fashion. Humans tilt their heads to express interest. But imagine how disturbing and painful it would be if your neck tilted involuntarily, without you being able to control it! Fifty-three-year-old Jose, unfortunately, knows just how debilitating this can be. Jose has a rare condition called dystonia, which is also called spasmodic torticollis. In this condition, the muscles in the neck contract involuntarily, often causing the person’s head to twist to one side. The muscles may contract in a sustained fashion, holding the head and neck in one position, or they may spasm repeatedly, causing jerky movements of the head and neck. Cervical dystonia is painful and can significantly interfere with individuals' ability to carry out their usual daily activities. In Jose’s case, they can no longer drive a car, because their uncontrollable head and neck movements and abnormal head positioning prevent them from navigating the road safely.…
