    Muscle action is often described as departures from the standard position of the body, the anatomical position. Muscle fiber is an interaction of organelles and molecules within myosin binds to actin and exerts a pulling action. The result of this movement with myofibrils in which the filaments of actin and myosin slide past one another. This action shortens or contracts muscle fiber so that it pulls on its attachment. Muscle are stimulated by a chemical reaction called acetylcholine, it synthesizes in the cytoplasm of a motor neuron and stored in vesicles at the distal end of the motor neuron axons. Each muscle fiber is packed with myofibrils, which is bundles of contractile filaments made up of actin and myosin. A longitudinal view of a myofibril reveals the reason for the striated appearance of skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle. The myofibril consists of repeating units, called sarcomeres, which are the units of contraction. Each sarcomere is made of overlapping filaments of actin and myosin, which create a distinct band pattern. As the muscle contracts, the sarcomeres shorten, and the appearance of the band pattern changes. When the muscle contracts, the sarcomere shortens. The H zone and the I band become much narrower, and the Z lines move toward the A band as if the actin filaments. When a muscle is stimulated, a short latent period follows, during which it is taking up the stimulus. It then contracts, where it becomes short and thick, and finally it relaxes and elongates. Muscles can also become fatigued meaning that if a muscle has being strenuously exercised for a prolonged period may lose its ability to contract. The interruption in the muscle’s blood supply or if ,lack of acetylcholine in motor neuron axons may cause fatigue , however fatigue is mostly arise from accumulation of lactic acid in the muscle as a result from a strenuous breathing. The lactic acid buildup lowers PH and as a…

    The Caribbean is a disjunction land bridge between North and South America with an East - West stretch of almost 3000 Km and a North -South reach of some 1500 Km. Only 10% of this is land. Geographically the Caribbean is defined as the land area which has its coastline washed by the Caribbean Sea. This would mean that the Greater and Lesser Antilles, the Cayman Islands and the islands of the Netherland Antilles all belong to the Caribbean. By this definition Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas would however be excluded from the Caribbean. It would also include Belize, Colombia, Venezuela, Costa Rico; Panama, Nicaragua and Honduras and exclude the mainland territories of Suriname, Guyana and French Guiana (Cayenne).…

There is an imbalance in the trading relationship between the ex-colonizer and the ex-colonized this is referred to as neo-colonialism. The countries of the West still have maintained dominance and this is evident in all aspects of the economy. The relationship between the West and the Caribbean fails to be symbiotic; the Caribbean has a great dependence on the West and this will all neo-colonialism to continue.…

    The contemporary Caribbean is part of a global world. Globalization has impacted the Caribbean in many different ways. The impact of globalization on culture is done through the process of trans-culturation. This happens as a result of the cultural interaction of various groups. This, along with our constant battle for space (Nettleford) has resulted in many social problems that affect our quest for a Caribbean identity.…
