http://www.innerbody.com/anatomy/muscular-male#full-description The muscular system is responsible for the movement of the human body. Attached to the bones of the skeletal system are about 700 named muscles that make up roughly half of a person’s body weight. Each of these muscles is a discrete organ constructed of skeletal muscle tissue, blood vessels, tendons, and nerves. Muscle tissue is also found inside of the heart, digestive organs, and blood vessels. In these organs, muscles serve to move

muscle is made out of fibers and those fibers are made up of a ton of thicker fibers. So when they bond together they make tight bundles of tissue. Also there are two types of fibers there are fast twitch and slow twitch. The fast twitch fibers are for endurance and the slow twitch are for strength.For example a sprinter has more fast twitch fibers.So a distance runner has more slow twitch fibers.For the sprinter it helps him more to have a higher level of fast twitch fiber because they need powerful

Kırılma indisi optik-fiber içinde sabit değildir. Optik-fiber içinde ilerleyen ışığın dalga boyuna bağımlı olarak değişir. Dolayısı ile yayılma hızı dalga boyuna bağlı olup, bu bağımlılık dispersiyon olarak ifade edilir. Dispersiyon etkileri çok modlu fiberlerde karşılaştığımız bir sorun olup, tek modlu fiberlerde dikkate alınmaz. TR Modal Dispersion Modlar arası dispersiyon yüzünden oluşan pals genişlemesi, (bazen basitçe modal veya mod dispersiyonu denir) çok modlu bir fiber içindeki modlar arasındaki

animals: connective, muscle, nervous, and epithelial. We are going to go into muscle tissue. The cells of muscle tissues are called fibers. There are three types of muscle tissue and they are skeletal, cardiac, and smooth. All types can go though hypertrophy (enlargement or overgrowth of an organ or part of the body due to the increased size of the constituent cells). Muscle fibers contract due to the interaction of the contractile proteins, actin and myosin. Muscle contraction generates contractile force
