Treatment of a Muscle Spasm. When muscle cramps occur, there are several things you can do to help ease them, such as massaging, stretching, or icing the muscle, warming the muscle, or taking a bath with Epsom salt.
An autosome is a chromosome that is not an allosome (a sex chromosome). Autosomes appear in pairs whose members have the same form but differ from other pairs in a diploid cell, whereas members of an allosome pair may differ from one another and thereby determine sex. The DNA in autosomes is collectively known as atDNA or auDNA.
Autosomes are numbered chromosomes that contain genes for anything that does not relate to sex determination. Humans have 22 pairs of autosomes (or 44 in total) that are numbered 1 through 22. These numbers indicate the size of the autosome. For example, chromosome 1 is the longest, and chromosome 22 is the shortest.
