acetylchoine

the neurotransmitters for the skeletal muscles responsible for muscle movement of contracting

atrophy

the loss of muscle

tropomyosin & troponin

proteins in the skeletal muscle

involuntary movement

not controlled just happens like heart beat

voluntary movement

controlled - like movement

polarity

Resting state - slightly positive (think of the graph example (looks like a hill))

Depolarisation

Going from resting state and change gets more positive. Involving ICF going from negative to positive charge.

Repolarisation

positive charge starts to drop returning back to polarity

active transport

involves enerygy

varicella

chickenpox virus

Process of disease and meaning

Incubation - first came in contact with he pathogen, no symptoms Prodromal - started showing sign. illness - all symptoms and signs, not well. convalescence - started getting better, signs and symptoms are going.

difference between subjective and objective data

subjective - data that the subject is giving you objective data- data we can see and judge
