phrase. If you say ‘Forewarned is forearmed,’ you are saying that if you know about a problem or situation in advance, you will be able to deal with it when you need to.

to tell someone that something unpleasant is going to happen: [ + (that) ] The employees had been forewarned (that) the end-of-year financial results would be poor.

arm pit

The superficial compartment of the flexor surface of the forearm contains the pronator teres, the flexor carpi radialis longus, the palmaris longus, the flexor carpi ulnaris, and the flexor digitorum superficialis. All of these muscles originate primarily from the medial epicondyle of the humerus.

The radius is located on the lateral side of the forearm between the elbow and the wrist joints.

The posterior compartment is located behind your humerus and consists of two muscles: Triceps brachii. This muscle, usually referred to as your triceps, runs along your humerus and allows for the flexion and extension of your forearm. It also helps to stabilize your shoulder joint.

It can be divided into the upper arm, which extends from the shoulder to the elbow, the forearm which extends from the elbow to the hand, and the hand. Anatomically the shoulder girdle with bones and corresponding muscles is by definition a part of the arm.

A tendon is a fibrous connective tissue which attaches muscle to bone. Tendons may also attach muscles to structures such as the eyeball. A tendon serves to move the bone or structure.

The involuntary muscles are spindle-shaped and contain a single, centrally located nucleus. They are visceral so mostly found in the walls of hollow organs such as the stomach, intestine, urinary bladder, uterus, etc….Involuntary Muscles:

Muscles move body parts by contracting and then relaxing. Muscles can pull bones, but they can’t push them back to the original position. So they work in pairs of flexors and extensors. The flexor contracts to bend a limb at a joint.

The biceps brachii flex the lower arm. The brachoradialis, in the forearm, and brachialis, located deep to the biceps in the upper arm, are both synergists that aid in this motion.

Endurance exercises like running or cycling make your muscles stronger and less likely to get tired. This sort of exercise doesn’t only benefit your skeletal muscles. It also: Enlarges your heart so it can pump blood around your body more quickly.

Smooth muscles — sometimes also called involuntary muscles — are usually in sheets, or layers, with one layer of muscle behind the other. You can’t control this type of muscle. Your brain and body tell these muscles what to do without you even thinking about it. But smooth muscles are at work all over your body.

The two points of attachment for a muscle are called the origin and the insertion.

There are about 600 muscles in the human body. The three main types of muscle include skeletal, smooth and cardiac.

: any of the repeating, contractile, structural subunits of striated muscle cells (as of skeletal or cardiac muscle) that are composed of the protein filaments actin and myosin Basically, during contraction a sarcomere shortens like a collapsing telescope, as the actin filaments at each end of a central myosin filament …

The sarcomere is the fundamental unit of a muscle and is responsible for contraction. The sarcomere is present in both skeletal and cardiac muscles and is composed of thick and thin filaments bordered by two z-discs [13,14].

The Z line (from the German “Zwischen”) largely consists of alpha-actinin homodimers organized in an antiparallel fashion, thereby providing a backbone for the insertions of actin-based thin filaments, as well as titin and nebulin/nebulette.

When a sarcomere shortens, some regions shorten whereas others stay the same length. A sarcomere is defined as the distance between two consecutive Z discs or Z lines; when a muscle contracts, the distance between the Z discs is reduced.

H-band is the zone of the thick filaments that has no actin. Within the H-zone is a thin M-line (from the German “Mittelscheibe”, the disc in the middle of the sarcomere) formed of cross-connecting elements of the cytoskeleton.

The I bands contain only thin (actin) filaments, whereas the A bands contain thick (myosin) filaments. The myosin and actin filaments overlap in peripheral regions of the A band, whereas a middle region (called the H zone) contains only myosin.

When oxygen is no longer present, the body may continue to produce ATP via anaerobic glycolysis. When the body’s glycogen is depleted, the ATP concentration diminishes, and the body enters rigor mortis because it is unable to break those bridges. Calcium enters the cytosol after death.
