  3. Muscle hypertrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_hypertrophy

    [8] About two hours after a workout and typically for seven to eleven days, muscles swell due to an inflammation response as tissue damage is repaired. [9] Longer-term hypertrophy occurs due to more permanent changes in muscle structure. Hirono et al. explained the causes of Muscle swelling: [10] "Muscle swelling occurs as a result of the ...

    Here's how it works: the physical demand for more strength when working out will cause slight damage to the muscles (the tearing that causes soreness after a workout) – don't worry, the damage ...

  5. Skeletal muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_muscle

    Skeletal muscle has two physiological responses: relaxation and contraction. The mechanisms for which these responses occur generate electrical activity measured by EMG. Specifically, EMG can measure the action potential of a skeletal muscle, which occurs from the hyperpolarization of the motor axons from nerve impulses sent to the muscle.

    Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (/ ˌ f aɪ b r oʊ d ɪ ˈ s p l eɪ ʒ (i) ə ɒ ˈ s ɪ f ɪ k æ n z p r ə ˈ ɡ r ɛ s ɪ v ə /; [1] abbr. FOP), also called Münchmeyer disease or formerly myositis ossificans progressiva, is an extremely rare connective tissue disease in which fibrous connective tissue such as muscle, tendons, and ligaments turn into bone tissue (ossification).

  7. Bone healing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bone_healing

    Age, bone type, drug therapy and pre-existing bone pathology are factors that affect healing. The role of bone healing is to produce new bone without a scar as seen in other tissues which would be a structural weakness or deformity. [2] The process of the entire regeneration of the bone can depend on the angle of dislocation or fracture.

  8. Human musculoskeletal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_musculoskeletal_system

    The bones provide stability to the body. Muscles keep bones in place and also play a role in the movement of bones. To allow motion, different bones are connected by joints. Cartilage prevents the bone ends from rubbing directly onto each other. Muscles contract to move the bone attached at the joint.

  9. Anabolism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anabolism

    These processes produce growth and differentiation of cells and increase in body size, a process that involves synthesis of complex molecules. Examples of anabolic processes include the growth and mineralization of bone and increases in muscle mass.
