I’ve got 29 reasons why muscles are not a bore…
When applying for grants, I can find about 2 or 3 more.
If you check out a standard lass,Muscles are a third of her body mass.
BODY COMPOSITION
Muscle(~35%)
Reasons why muscles are not a bore
(1)Quantitatively important tissue (large fraction of total body mass)
From cooking your food to sweeping the floor,Muscles do a really wide range of chores.
[Using one’s musclesto cook animal muscles!]
You could be out shopping or starting to groove,But muscles are behind your every move.
[So how do SKELETONS dance???]
Reasons why muscles are not a bore
(1)Quantitatively important tissue (large fraction of total body mass)
(2)Perform a wide range of physiological tasks
(3)Required for any kind of movement
[Keyboard solo… Use those hand muscles!]
When a muscle is used at a sporting event,Its fluxes rise 5000 percent.
Rest Exercise(all-out)
Glycolytic flux(mM lactate/s)
And if you’re getting fit or you have a disease,Muscle adaptation can be quantified with ease.
Muscle adaptations to endurance training
Capillary density
Glycogen concentration
Mitochondrial volume
Myoglobin concentration
Reasons why muscles are not a bore
(1)Quantitatively important tissue (large fraction of total body mass)
(2)Perform a wide range of physiological tasks
(3)Required for any kind of movement
(4)Intracellular metabolic fluxes can change by a factor of 50 within seconds
(5)Exhibit major adaptations to training and disease
And so on and so forth…
