Introduction The quadriceps muscle group is made up of four muscles: the vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedialis and the rectus femoris. These muscles allow extension of the leg to occur during concentric contraction. The stronger the contraction produced by the muscles, the greater the force produced by them. You can measure the force produced by the muscle by measuring the velocity with which they contract. This is due to the force-velocity relationship. Kent (2006) explains this

Stanford University STUDIES! Nucleic Acids, extremely complex molecules produced by living cells and viruses. Their name comes from their initial isolation from the nuclei of living cells. Certain nucleic acids, however, are found not in the cell nucleus but in cell cytoplasm. Nucleic acids have at least two functions: to pass on hereditary characteristics from one generation to the next, and to trigger the manufacture of specific proteins. How nucleic acids accomplish these functions is the object
