Three Types of Muscle and their functions

Three Types of Muscle and their functions
There are three types of muscle, each with a different structure and function. Skeletal muscle produces the most powerful contractions and is essentially involved in performing the body's movements. Skeletal muscle is under conscious control and is therefore described as voluntary. It is composed of cells, elongated up to twelve inches in length, containing many minute myofibrils and nuclei. It can contract and relax rapidly, but is easily fatigued. Smooth muscle is found in the arteries and in the digestive and urinary tracts, and performs the slow, long-term contractions needed to maintain these systems. Smooth muscle is made up of elongated cells arranged in bundles, each with a single nucleus. Within the intestines an inner circular band produces ring-like constrictions and an outer longitudinal band produces wavelike motions. Controlled by the autonomic system, smooth muscle contraction is involuntary. Cardiac muscle, found exclusively in the heart, continuously generates very strong contractions and rarely tires in its task of pumping blood throughout the body. It has a built-in rhythm of contraction, but is regulated by the heart's pacemaker. Cardiac muscle forming the heart is made up of branched cells containing many nuclei. It occurs as thick spiral bands around the ventricles of the heart.[By Dizzo95]

Hearing Test-AUDIOMETRY

(1)First determinine the hearing range ( at the lowest value of Hz).

(2)Then use this value of Hz (hearing frequency) for determining the LOUDNESS TEST.

Procedures Of Hearing Test FOR LOUDNESS (Db)---I Used In Teaching Medical, Dental and Pharmacy StudentsBased On the Audiometer as shown in the following in the YOUTUBE:

1. Increase the loudness (Db) say 5 DB from 5 DB at the start.==5db, 10db,15db,20db.......till the subject indicates sound is heard.(take the lowest reading, when the subject start perceive the hearing)

do Do it in a quiet place.

usiUsing a Earphone.

TeTest the hearing on one ear at a time.(block the other ear which is not being tested at that moment--There is a switch indicating sound is supplied to LEFT/RIGHT ear on the audiometer)

Focus on the hearing and pin-point(indicate to the tester) at which DB when you begin to hear. Repeat a few times for consistent results. [N.B. Audiometer can do the 2 tests at one sitting

Color Vision Test - Official Version
The color vision test plates are from two commercially available color vision test books - "Color Vision Testing Made Easy" and the Pseudoisochromatic 24 Plate Color Vision Test by Dr. Terrace L. Waggoner.
There are seven pediatric color vision test plates and six adult color vision test plates. The video is for screening purposes only - not for a diagnosis. For a diagnosis, see your vision care professional.

Diabetes is the leading cause of preventable new onset blindness in working age adults. You can have diabetic eye disease and not know it as it is painless and often has no symptoms until very advanced stages. Deborah K. Schlossman, M.D., of the Beetham Eye Institute at Joslin Diabetes Center, explains why an annual eye exam and appropriate care can reduce the risk of blindness and increase your chances of preserving sight.

Blind spot mapping with chiropractor Don

Chiropractor Don Coil (Kiropraktik Wellness, Gärdet, Stockholm, Sweden) tells us about chiropractic and chiropractic examination. He shows us an examination technique known as 'Blind spot mapping'. The technique examines the size and shape of the blind spot. The test is performed with the computer program Clinicbuddy. Chiropractic is a unique art, science and philosophy whereby the practitioner, without the use of drugs or surgery, stimulates the body’s own forces to maintain and heal itself from within. Pain represent only 10% of nerve signal transmission, therefore a thorough examination should not be based entirely upon pain, as an absence of symptoms is not a guarantee of health. Chiropractor Don Coil can be found in Stockholm Sweden, http://www.kiropraktikwellness.se The computer program Clinicbuddy is used by many chiropractors and other healthcare providers. http://www.clinicbuddy.com/

Skeletal Muscles

There are over 600 skeletal muscles! Scientists have developed seven general naming criterias to help distinguish and keep track of them all. The muscular system is the largest part of the human body. It makes up about half of the body’s weight.
· The largest muscle in the body is the gluteus maximus. The smallest muscle is the stapedius.
· Repetitive Strain Injury (RSI) happens to people who repeat finger actions. E.g. Piano players.
· Many sport coaches find going over actions in your mind can help muscular skills.· Oxygen is needed for your muscles to burn glucose to obtain energy. This process is called respiration
