Explain the difference between the types of muscle contraction.

8 0

There are three types of muscle contraction: concentric, isometric, and eccentric.

Concentric: In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance then remains stable as the muscle shortens. During eccentric contraction, the muscle lengthens as the resistance becomes greater than the force the muscle is producing.

Isometric: An isometric exercise is a form of exercise involving the static contraction of a muscle without any visible movement in the angle of the joint.

Eccentric: An eccentric (lengthening) muscle contraction occurs when a force applied to the muscle exceeds the momentary force produced by the muscle itself, resulting in the forced lengthening of the muscle-tendon system while contracting

Explain how oxygen gets into your cells from the blood. (use the terms diffusion, high concentration, low concentration).

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The oxygen enters the bloodstream from the alveoli, which are tiny sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place. The transfer of oxygen into the blood is through simple diffusion. While oxygen moves from the capillaries and into body cells, carbon dioxide moves from the cells into the capillaries and starts with high concentration but fades to low concentration.

What dose the long-term effects of exercise depend upon?

STatiana [176]

Answer:

Explanation:

Long term effects of exercise Type of training

Cardiovascular system Cardiac hypertrophy; increased stroke volume (SV) at rest and during exercise; decrease in resting heart rate (HR); increase in cardiac output (Q); capillarisation at the lungs and muscles; increase in number of red blood cells Aerobic

Respiratory system Increased vital capacity; increase in minute ventilation (VE); increase in tidal volume (TV); decrease in breathing rate (BR); increased number of functioning alveoli; increased strength of the respiratory muscles (internal and external intercostals and diaphragm) Aerobic

Energy system Increased production of energy from the aerobic energy system; increased tolerance to lactic acid Aerobic; anaerobic

Muscular system Muscle hypertrophy; increased strength of tendons; increased strength of ligaments Resistance

Skeletal system Increase in bone density Resistance

What assessment finding would suggest to the care team that the pregnant client has completed the first stage of labor?

omeli [17]

A woman giving birth undergoes 3 stages of labor The first stage is the longest which may take up to 12 hours. and it involves three phases:

a) the early labor phase-- the time of the onset of labor until the cervix is dilated to 3 cm.

b) active labor phase—labor continues until cervix is dilated to 7 cm, and.

c) transition phase – continues until the cervix is fully dilated to 10 cm.

Assessment finding that would suggest that the pregnant client has completed the first stage of labor is when her cervix is completely dilated to 10 cm.
