Let's Go to the Tape. A runner's guide to the new generation of sport taping. By Julia Kirtland Tuesday, May 8, 2012, 12:00 am. You've probably seen colored tape showing up on the legs of runners in the last few years, including Meb Keflezighi, masters ace Tracy Lokken and other elites.
Muscle and nerve tissue and physiology: Neurons and muscle cells have much in common, in that they both are excitable, conduct electric impulses by allowing sodium ions to enter and potassium ions to exit, and both function by allowing calcium ions to move back and forth across membranes.&P I Muscle Physiology. Compare the connective tissue coverings of the muscles with those of the nerves. The extensions of epimysium, perimysium, and endomysium into tendons are called epitendinium, etc. Nerves also contain fascicles (fasciculi), which are covered by perineurium, and contain neurons.
Cardiac muscles and skeletal muscles are also different in their shape. While the cardiac muscles are semi-spindle, the skeletal muscles are cylindrical in shape. Another difference is that the cardiac muscles are short in comparison to skeletal muscles. The skeletal muscles are attached to the bone through tendons. The skeletal muscles also contain myoblasts, which form the fibers in the muscles. The cardiac muscles are seen in the myocardium of the heart. The cardiac muscles contain intercalated discs and T-tubules, which connects the myocyte to the synctium. The skeletal muscles are tightly bound together when compared to cardiac muscles.
