Muscle Twitching
Homeostasis
100
Tissue cells that contract and relax, used to provide force and motion to humans.
What is muscles
100
Muscle that lies on the upper arm between the shoulder and the elbow. Hypertrophy occurs under the stress preacher curls
What is Bicep
100
Painful muscle spasm, can be caused from exercise, extreme cold and dehydration etc.
What is Cramps
100
Type of twitch that uses ATP over a longer time, causing extended muscle contractions.
What is a slow muscle twitch
100
The result of diffusion across a semi permeable membrane into a higher concentration
What is osmosis
200
A loss in mass and strength in the muscle fibres
What is atrophy
200
Opposite side of the bicep, lies between the shoulder, elbow, and the backside of your arm.
What is Tricep
200
Skeletal muscles shrink, lose strength, and are replaced by fatty fibrous tissue.
What is Muscle Dystrophy
200
Type of twitch that rapidly uses ATP for short & strong burst of muscle contractions
What is a fast twitch
200
is the movement of molecules across a cell membrane in the direction against their concentration gradient
What is active transport
300
A massive gain in mass and strength in the muscle fibres
What is hypertrophy
300
Muscle that goes along the thigh
What is Quad
300
Abnormal Muscle shortening not caused by nerve stimulation
What is Contracture
300
The term of which when contractions get slower
What is fatigue
300
the moment of molecules from a high concentration to a low one.
What is diffusion
400
Small muscle contractions
What is Muscle Twitch
400
Muscle on your buttocks
What is Glutes
400
Muscle inflammation and weakness resulting from infection and/or disease
What is Myositis
400
This type of muscle twitch doesn't need much oxygen to contract (or is anaerobic)
What is fast
400
having a higher osmotic pressure than a particular fluid
What is hypertonic
500
Both of these fibres are required for muscle contraction
What is actin and myosin
500
Muscle that's responsible for blood flow, blood pressure etc.
What is Heart
500
pain, stiffness, and tenderness felt from several hours to a day after strenuous exercise
What is Delayed onset muscle soreness
500
A molecule that is very rich in the fast-twitch fibres.
What is glycogen
500
the process of passive transport of molecules across a membrane via special proteins.
What is facilitated diffusion
