foot muscles. This nerve is formed from the L4 to the S3 segments of the sacral plexus a collection of nerve fibers that emerges from the sacral part of the spinal cord. The sciatic nerve merges from the fourth and fifth lumbar nerves with the first, second and third sacral nerves. From the lower back, the sciatic nerve runs inferiorly into the gluteal region and into the posterior of the femoral region of the leg. The sciatic nerve innervates posterior muscles of the thighs and the muscles of the
In this study, three volunteered subjects with the same age (19) and different in body weight (43, 50, and 85 kg) were challenged to obtain the skeletal muscle biomechanics data by measuring moment force from maximum weight that the subject can hold on certain angles (20o, 45o, 60o, 90o, and 120o), moment arm, and resistance arm during muscle contraction. The result shows that the average maximum of weight that each subject can hold for certain angles varies. The weight was increased from 20o to
type of muscles like muscles of heart are self controlled. Muscle cells are derived by the mesoderm layer of embryonic germ cells. They may help in the movement of organs within the body or of a complete organism from one place to another place( Graaff (2002)) . Muscles are very important to perform some functions which are necessary for survival like circulation of
Phenformin has been banned from India since 2003 Mechanism of action • Increase uptake and utilization of glucose by skeletal muscle, which reduces insulin resistance • Inhibit hepatic gluconeogenesis • Retard intestinal absorption of glucose • Promote insulin binding to its receptor • Reduce plasma glucagon level Advantages: • Besides lowering blood glucose levels, it also lowers LDL, VLDL and elevates HDL Adverse effects Lactic acidosis, vitamin B12 deficiency, anorexia, nausea, flatulence and
