Chapter 11 Anatomy of the Muscular System
|
|
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
|
inflammation, pain, and reduced movement in the wrist due to repetitive movements that cause inflammation in the tendon sheath which then impinges on the median nerve
|
|
Muscles Strain
|
overstretching and/or tearing of muscle fiber due to overexertion/trauma
|
|
Myalgia
|
muscle pain
|
|
The body contains more than
|
600 skeletal muscles
|
|
Muscles, along with the skeleton
|
determine the form and contour of the body
|
|
skeletal muscle structure
|
striated and voluntary
|
|
3 Connective Tissue Components
|
1. epimysium
2. permysium 3. endomysium |
|
epimysium
|
connective tissue around the entire muscle
superficial to deep |
|
permysium
|
connective tissue around a fasicle (bundle) of muscle fiber cells
in between middle layer |
|
endomysium
|
connective tissue around an individual muscle fiber
|
|
Tendons
|
connect muscle to bone
|
|
Muscle
|
connects bone to bone
|
|
All three layers of connective tissue are extended into the
|
connective tissue used for muscle attachments
|
|
Tendons
|
cord of fibrous connective tissue that connects the muscle to the skeletal periosteum
|
|
Tendon sheath
|
encircle tendons in the wrist and ankle (contain synovial membrane)
|
|
More muscles
|
distally.
ex. more muscles in forearm than in the arm more muscles in philanges than carpals |
|
Aponeurosis
|
sheet of connective tissue (extend beyond the muscle) that usually connects muscles to other muscles
|
|
Fascia
|
fibrous connective tissue surrounding many structures in the body
|
|
Superficial fascia
|
below the skin (hypodermis)
|
|
deep fascia
|
around muscles (superficial to epimysium), bones, etc.
|
|
Attachment of Muscles
origin |
point of attachment that DOES NOT MOVE when the muscles contracts
|
|
insertion
|
point of attachment that MOVES when the muscle contracts
|
|
Attachment points determine
|
muscle action
|
|
intrinsic muscles
|
a muscle whose origin and insertion are in the SAME part or organ
|
|
extrinsic muscles
|
a muscle NOT ORIGINATING in the limb or part in which it is inserted
could end in another part than where it began |
|
lever systems
|
how we are producing movements
|
|
bones serve as
|
levers
|
|
joints serve as
|
fulcrums
|
|
contracting muscle
|
applies a pulling force on a bone lever at the point of the muscle's attachment to the bone, which causes the insertion bone to move about its joint fulcrum
|
|
lever system composed of four component parts
|
1. rigid bar bone
2. fulcrum around which the rod moves joint 3. load that is moved 4. pull that produces movement muscle contraction |
|
Lever system example picture
|
picture
|
|
first-class levers
|
fulcrum lies between the pull and the load
not abundant in the human body serve as levers of stability |
|
first-class levers example
|
head on atlis
|
|
MUSCLES ONLY
|
PULL NOT PUSH
|
|
second-class levers
|
load lies between the fulcrum and the joint at which the pull is exerted
presence of these levers in the human body is a controversial issue |
|
second-class levers example
|
wheel barrow
standing on tip toes (plantar flexion) |
|
third-class levers
|
pull is exerted between the fulcrum and load
permit rapid and extensive movement most common type of lever found in the body |
|
muscle actions
|
most movements are produced by the coordinated action of several muscles
some muscles in the group contract while others relax |
|
prime mover
|
a muscle that directly performs a specific movement
|
|
agonists
|
any "mover" muscle that directly performs a movement, INCLUDING the prime mover
can have multiple ex. biceps |
|
antagonists
|
muscles that, when contracting, directly OPPOSE prime movers; relax while the prime mover (agonist) is contracting to produce movement; provide precision and control during contraction of prime movers
ex. triceps |
|
synergists
|
muscles that contract AT THE SAME TIME as the prime movers; facilitate prime mover actions to produce a more efficient movement
|
|
fixator muscles
|
joint stabilizers (type of synergist)
(so we can act on a distal joint) |
|
agonist and antagonist work
|
together to balance out
|
|
how muscles are named (latin or english)
|
by one or more of the following features:
1. location, function, shape 2. direction of fibers named according to fiber orientation 3. number of head or divisions (ceps) 4. points of attachment: origin and insertion points 5. relative size: small, med., lg |

size, shape, and fiber arrangement

size

ranges from extremely small to large masses
|

shape
|
variety of shapes, such as broad, narrow, long, tapering, short, blunt, triangular, quadrilateral, irregular, flat sheets, or bulky masses

|
arrangement
|
variety of arrangements, such as parallel to a long axis, converging to a narrow attachment, oblique, pennate, bipennate, or curved
|
|
the direction of fibers is significant
|
because of its relation to function
|
|
