What is Osteoarthritis?
This causes muscle tension without movement.
What is isometric muscle contraction?
During exercise, heart rate and breathing increase to deliver more of this to working muscle tissue.
What is oxygen increases to the muscle?
This bone structure protects the brain.
What is the skull?
This structure is a disc of fibrous cartilage between pubic bones. Females are larger than Males.
What is the pubic symphysis?
This shortens muscles when movement occurs.
What is isotonic muscle contraction?
This exercise involves contraction without movement.
What is isometric exercise?
Vitamin D primarily helps regulate which mineral.
What is Calcium?
A joint where two bones meet.
What are articulations?
This energy molecule is required for muscle contraction.
What is ATP?
This autoimmune disorder affects receptors at the neuromuscular junction and causes muscle weakness.
What is myasthenia gravis?
