Therapy For the treatment of a strain, the so-called PECH (pause, ice, compression, elevation) rule can be applied. This serves to reduce swelling. The faster the cooling, the greater the effect. These methods of treatment reduce the blood flow in the muscle tissue and thus the leakage of water (edema formation, swelling). If the axillary … Therapy | Delta muscle
Definition The motor endplate (neuromuscular endplate) is a chemical synapse that can transmit electrical excitation from the end of a nerve cell to a muscle fiber. Task of the motorized end plate The task of the motor end plate is to transmit excitation, i.e. an action potential that has been conducted through the nerve fiber, … Motorized end plate

Definition of striated musculature Transverse striated muscle is the name given to a certain type of muscle tissue because under polarizing light (for example, a simple light microscope) it looks as if the individual muscle fiber cells have regular transverse striation. Normally, the term is used synonymously for skeletal musculature, since this type of tissue … Striated Musculature
Excitation of the striated musculature An important feature of the striated muscles, precisely to distinguish them from the smooth muscles and the heart muscles, is that they are subject to our arbitrary control. ́Quergestreifte Muscles can be consciously tensed or relaxed by us. They are reached by motor nerve fibers, at the end of which … Excitation of the striated musculature | Striated Musculature
