Differentiate between the arrangement of elements (load, fulcrum, and effort) in first-, second-, and third-class levers.
Smooth muscle has some unique properties, such as low energy usage, ability to maintain contraction over long periods, and the stress-relaxation response. Tie these properties to the function of smooth muscle in the body.
Name four factors that influence contractile force and two that influence velocity and duration of contraction.
Describe the cause(s) of muscle fatigue and define this term clearly
Explain how a slight (but smooth) contraction differs from a vigorous contraction of the same muscle; use the concepts of multiple motor unit summation.
(a) Describe the structure of a sarcomere and indicate the relationship of the sarcomere to the myofilament. (b) Explain the sliding filament theory of contraction inlcuding a relaxed and a contracted sarcomere
People with chronic back pain occasionally get relief from a "tummy tuck." Discuss how this procedure helps.
Please discuss the following: 1) After having a severe cold accompanied by nasal congestion, one complained of a frontal headache and the right side of his face ached. What bony structures probably became infected by the bacteria or viruses causing the cold? 2) An elderly woman, stumbled while walking, she then felt a te

Fractures of the clavicle, especially in children, are known as greenstick fractures. Describe this type of fracture.
The clavicle can be palpated through its entire length and is said to follow a sinuous curve. What is meant by sinuous curve?

Name the major components of the thoracic cage.
