  1. 29 Reasons (why muscles are not a bore)

  2. Boring? BORING?!?! Muscles aren’t boring!!! I’ve got 29 reasons why muscles are not a bore… When applying for grants, I can find about 2 or 3 more.

  3. Muscle (~35%) If you check out a standard lass, Muscles are a third of her body mass. BODY COMPOSITION

  4. Reasons why muscles are not a bore • Quantitatively important tissue (large fraction of total body mass)

  5. From cooking your food to sweeping the floor, Muscles do a really wide range of chores. [Using one’s muscles to cook animal muscles!]

  6. You could be out shopping or starting to groove, But muscles are behind your every move. [So how do SKELETONS dance???]

  7. Reasons why muscles are not a bore • Quantitatively important tissue (large fraction of total body mass) • Perform a wide range of physiological tasks • Required for any kind of movement

  8. [Keyboard solo… Use those hand muscles!]

  9. When a muscle is used at a sporting event, Its fluxes rise 5000 percent. Glycolytic flux (mM lactate/s) Rest Exercise (all-out)

  10. And if you’re getting fit or you have a disease, Muscle adaptation can be quantified with ease. Muscle adaptations to endurance training Capillary density  Glycogen concentration  Mitochondrial volume  Myoglobin concentration

  11. Reasons why muscles are not a bore • Quantitatively important tissue (large fraction of total body mass) • Perform a wide range of physiological tasks • Required for any kind of movement • Intracellular metabolic fluxes can change by a factor of 50 within seconds • Exhibit major adaptations to training and disease • And so on and so forth…

  12. “29 Reasons” • Music by Willie Dixon; Lyrics by Greg Crowther • Performed by Science Groove: Greg Crowther (lead vocals, keyboard) Lori DeGloria (vocals) Adam Ludwig (vocals) Do Peterson (vocals, guitar, drum programming) Kirk L. Van Scoyoc (vocals) • For more science songs, visit www.science-groove.org
