This is so they don't slide around. The connectivity allows for full use of the body.]]> 2018-10-25 13:37:06 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296927504 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296930978 A fascia is a flat band of tissue that encloses muscle. The purpose of this reduces muscular friction. This allows a safe space for nerves and blood vessels to pass through.]]> 2018-10-25 13:41:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296930978 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296933211 The 5 main functions are:
1. Movement
2. Protection of internal organs
3. Regulate body temperature
4. To breathe
5. To pump blood]]> 2018-10-25 13:45:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296933211 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296936471 Muscle fatigue is when there's a decline in the ability to use them. You get very weak, and it's hard for the muscles to perform their tasks. This can be caused by overworking or other, more deeper features]]> 2018-10-25 13:49:13 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296936471 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296938886 A spasm is a sudden contraction of one or more muscles. This is something you can't control, it just happens. It can cause pain depending on where it is, or if the muscle the limb controls hits something]]> 2018-10-25 13:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296938886 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296940285 A tonic is a muscle contraction. This is involuntary and causes the muscles to stiffen up. This can happen normally, or more often depending on certain disorders, such as epilepsy.]]> 2018-10-25 13:53:43 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296940285 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296944340 Tetanus is a bacterial infection in the muscles. This causes muscle spasms and can eventually lead to death.
There are very few cases, seeing as this can be prevented by vaccines.]]> 2018-10-25 13:58:18 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296944340 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296945325 Tetany is a case of muscle spasms, commonly in the hands and feet. The most common cause is mineral deficiency. These normally include magnesium and potassium deficiency.]]> 2018-10-25 13:59:29 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296945325 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296950589 Smooth muscle is located around internal organs. It is involuntary because we can not control what movements it makes. This can aid in things such as movement of food down the esophagus.]]> 2018-10-25 14:06:08 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296950589 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296952365 Cardiac muscle is the muscle around the heart. This is involuntary because we can't control the speed or way it moves. It helps pump blood throughout the body]]> 2018-10-25 14:08:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296952365 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296953045 Clonic spasms are muscular contractions. This causes rapid jerks of the muscles its affecting. When paired with tonic, it causes a grand mal seizures.]]> 2018-10-25 14:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/296953045 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297187641 Skeletal muscle is the muscle around bone that is attached by tendons. This compared to the other muscle types, is a voluntary muscle. We can control these muscles since they attach to bone, allowing for mobility.]]> 2018-10-25 21:18:26 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297187641 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297188544 The sliding filament theory is how we believe muscles work. It's the theory that to create movement, layers of muscle tissue slide past each other. There are thick layers that slide past thin layers, while they remain at constant length.]]> 2018-10-25 21:21:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297188544 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297192772 Actin is a microfilament made of protein that help muscles contract and move. They do not act alone; they work in pair with mysosin. When paired together, they allow for full movement of the muscle.]]> 2018-10-25 21:25:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297192772 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297196926 Myosin is is a microfilament made in muscle. While paired with acting, it allows for muscle movement. While working alone, it helps with cell movement as well.]]> 2018-10-25 21:38:27 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297196926 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297197700 Calcium is a mineral that helps the entire body, including the muscular system. In the muscular system, it aids with movement. When a muscle is about to contract, calcium is released into the muscle cells, allowing for them to move.]]> 2018-10-25 21:42:32 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297197700 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297199003 Contractility is where the muscles contract. This is the act of moving muscles. It is caused by your muscles moving and tensing.]]> 2018-10-25 21:49:25 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297199003 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297199487 This is the ability of the muscle to extend. This is also, more commonly known, as stretching. An example is extending your elbow.]]> 2018-10-25 21:52:09 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297199487 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297200077 Elasticity is the ability to stretch and recoil your muscles. Muscles can move like this to prevent tears. If muscles were not like this, they would tear every time they were stretched.]]> 2018-10-25 21:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297200077 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297200412 This is the ability to respond to stimulus. An example being if you squish your fingers in a door, you try to jerk back. This response allows us to attempt to get out of situations that put stress on the muscles.]]> 2018-10-25 21:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297200412 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297200869 Automaticity of muscle is the ability to contract involuntarily. This especially happens when we need to perform an action that isn't voluntary of our muscles. This includes the pumping of the heart.]]> 2018-10-25 21:59:34 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297200869 vost0907 https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297201673 Rigor mortis is the stiffening of the muscles and joints after death. This is caused as the body is still temporarily "alive" while the brain is dead. This usually lasts from one to four days.]]> 2018-10-25 22:03:54 UTC https://padlet.com/vost0907/zb3q3zz3dvwh/wish/297201673
