Sentences with phrase «contractile tissue»

Trauma = Microtrauma, focusing primarily on type II fibers here - how much actual structural damage this workout is doing to your contractile tissue.

Most clients, and fitness professionals alike, use the term «tight» to indicate that a muscle or other form of contractile tissue is shorter than it should be.

Not exact matches

These tests indicate that myomerger - deficient muscle cells called myocytes differentiate and form the contractile unit of muscle (sarcomeres), but they do not join together to form fully functioning muscle tissue.

In this research, Yousaf and his team made a scaffold free beating tissue out of three cell types found in the heart — contractile cardiac muscle cells, connective tissue cells and vascular cells.

The tissue, called the stroma, includes fat cells, or adipocytes, that provide padding; fibroblasts, which make the framework for tissue; pericytes in blood vessels, which are contractile cells that help regulate blood pressure; as well as myoepithelial cells comprising the outer layer of the ductal system through which milk flows.

Regardless of its nature, dorsoventral axis inversion (35) would have brought the ventral midline tissue into a dorsal position in the chordate lineage, and the appearance of incompressible vacuoles (14) would have gradually transformed it into a stiff rod of constant length; the amphioxus notochord could then be regarded a vestige of a contractile - cartilaginous transition.

1) The first mechanism involves the synthesis of protein that is taking place within the muscle cell, including all segments of its structure like the connective tissues, cell walls and contractile elements.

Holding static stretches for at least 60 seconds will target contractile muscle tissue and allow more of a pliable neural response to tissues due to increased circulation, thereby stimulating a recovery response by the parasympathetic nervous system.

And concerning the tissue which is involved with the neural drive, this would theoretically occur in a direct response for the requirement of contracting the cells via the hypertrophied contractile mechanisms.

Hypertrophy is an increase in the different size dimension of muscular fibers, whether in terms of size increases in the contractile or non-contractile fibers of muscle tissue.

The shortened tissues become compressed and dehydrated and this leads to a decrease in contractile strength.

After physical stress, such as resistance training damaged muscle tissue has to be repaired and additional contractile proteins incorporated to optimize and adapt for the future.

Although both groups gained muscle size, the antioxidant group had developed muscle tissue of poorer quality with fewer contractile units.

That's when muscle tissue is repaired and — you hope — increases in size and contractile capability.

This damage consists of microscopic tears in the muscle fibers that make up the muscle and may involve injury to the contractile elements within the muscle fiber as well as the surrounding tissue, the connective tissue that surrounds each muscle fiber.
