    I am taking a physiology course online and I find having videos like this is extremely helpful! This video is very well explained and also uses good visual cues. It is also very helpful b/c it uses the same terminology as the course

    Etymologies
    ate 16th century: from French (verb), (noun), from late Latin , from Greek, ‘lack of food’, from ‘poorly nourished’, from ‘without’ + ‘food’.
    The specific epithet is
    derived from the Latin fascicularis 'in bundles' or 'clustered',
    referring to its habit of growing in clumps.
    Twitches happen in bundles? I guess, not sure, doesn't matter either, we get the meaning for this one.
    hypo-under
    Meaning: "tone" (from PIE root *ten- "to stretch") + abstract noun ending -ia. See definitions of .
    early 16th century (as a noun denoting reflection): from Latin ‘a bending back’, from ‘bend back’ (see reflect).
    late 16th century: modern Latin, from Greek, neuter of ‘dried up’, from ‘dry up’.

    So the amount of electricity flowing through the nerve determines how much the muscle will contract?

    • @jseanbrooks1
      @jseanbrooks1 2 роки тому

      No. For clarification on this look up the all-or-none principle. The amount of charge has no effect on stimulation summation. Only the NUMBER of action potentials fired. You could also read up on temporal summation vs spatial summation.

    1. If a person is diagnosed with motor neuropathy does this refer to a lower motor neuron disorder? 2. Does motor neuropathy refer to the peripheral nervous system? Thanks

    Is the size of the motor unit at all related to whether its a fast or slow twitch muscle?

    • @manofgod7622
      @manofgod7622 3 роки тому +1

      Yes, big motor units contain big number of fast twitch muscle fibers and small motor units contain small number of slow twitch muscle fibers.

    when u increase the number of muscle cell, does that mean u form new motor units that attach to the new muscle cell?

    • @SaimonFictureNadiaze
      @SaimonFictureNadiaze 9 років тому +5

      Gabriel Llanes no, what i believe is when you increase the number of muscle cells by working out, you form more actine + myosine filaments. no new motor units will be formed, but the contraction of the muscle will be stronger due to the higher amount of acetine and myosine and thats the reason you'll feel stronger and can lift up heavier things.
