Complete the following tasks outlined on this page for your website. Don't forget to include influence from your groups decided "theme".
Task 1 Summarize how muscles create movement through antagonistic paring. Explain how insects (like a grasshopper) use antagonistic muscles to jump (include a video or diagram of them if you like). Compare and contrast differences in muscle anatomy between humans and insects. Where are muscles attached? What kind of movements are they evolved for? What components are different in each species? Diagram how antagonistic pairing works in another mammalian species allowing them to movie effectively in their environment. |

Elbow Joint ModelTask 3
Include an image of your elbow joint model from class and explain how components of the elbow facilitate movement. Task 5
On your website include at least 5 tips for promoting healthy muscles and bones. Think of the nutrients needed for muscle structure, biochemical reactions involved in movement, and bone function. |
Muscle StructureTask 4
Using a computer program or paper, Create a diagram of a labeled muscle fiber, myofibril, and a sarcomere. Task 6
Think of 5 unanswered questions related to muscle health. Post the questions, research the answer, paraphrase the answer, and post the source for you answer to each question. Example question: Why does working out build muscle? How does this process work? |
