Morphological and Functional Aspects of Human Skeletal Muscle
نویسندگان
چکیده
Skeletal muscle has multiple functions and is a key component of the locomotor system. It consists of carbohydrates and amino acids for different tissues such as skin, heart and brain. It contributes to the maintenance of blood glucose levels during periods of starvation. Skeletal muscle health is particularly important for the prevention of various diseases. This review discusses various aspects of skeletal muscle tissue including its development, structure, function and morphology, including the guidelines for histology methods. We have also discussed, sarcopenia, age-related muscle diseases and exercise. We hope this review will benefit readers of a clinical and non-clinical background.

Modelling Skeletal Muscle-Tendon Units as Actuators in Motor Behaviour: Morphological Aspects
This paper discusses a number of morphological aspects of skeletal muscle and muscle-joint lever system that should be considered when modelling skeletal muscles as actuators of the bodies' motor system. It is recognised that, to implement muscle models in whole body models, these should be relatively simple. Thus, whenever possible, relatively simple algorithms are proposed that describe the m...
متن کاملFunctional and morphological effects of resistance exercise on disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy.
Abstract quality of life. Since there is no currently effective and safe treatment available for skeletal muscle atrophy, the search for new alternatives is necessary. Resistance exercise (RE) seems to be an important tool in the treatment of disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by promoting positive functional (strength and power) and structural (hypertrophy and phenotypic changes) adaptive ...
متن کاملRole of resistance training with the approach of blood flow restriction in skeletal muscle cell growth
Background: The aim of this study was to investigate the response of ERK1/2 protein and muscular morphological adaptations to a period of resistance training with local blood flow restriction. Materials and methods: Twenty healthy male Wistar rats without clinically evident disease (5 weeks old, 120±7 g weight) were divided into four equal groups: control, control with limited blood flow...
متن کاملEffect of Resistance Exercise and Training and Principles of Prescribing it for Cardiovascular Patients
Introduction: The importance and necessity of preventing the occurrence of these diseases in order to maintain and promote health, has attracted the attention of many researchers to methods of preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular injury. Metabolic effects of muscle mass loss due to the natural aging process are caused by decreased muscle activity and lead to high prevalence of obesity, i...
متن کاملEffect of Aerobic Exercise with Blood Flow Restriction on Mitochondrial Dynamics Proteins of Human Skeletal Muscles
Background: Aerobic exercise with Blood Flow Restriction (BFR) plays an important role in skeletal muscle adaptation; however, the effects of this type of exercise on mitochondrial dynamics proteins are unclear. Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of aerobic exercise with and without BFR on mitochondrial dynamics proteins of human skeletal muscles. Methods: Pa...
