What are the 3 functions of joints and describe them?
Synarthroses = immovable
Ampharthroses= slighty movable
Diarthroses = freely movable
What are the 3 types joints and there characteristics?

What are points of attachment in muscles and there functions?

What are the functions and characteristics of a muscle?
Functions - movement, maintenance of posture, and heat production

Characteristics - excitability, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity
What causes movement of the muscle?
Contraction of the belly of the muscle, generally proximal to the moved part.
How does movement occur in the muscle?
Contraction of the sacromeres within the sacroplasm of the muscle cells.

myosin and actin fibers arranged in a formation
What is a sarcolemma?
A muscle cell membrane
What does myoglobin bind?
binds oxygen-protein present in myofibers
What is the sliding mechanism of a muscle contraction and its action?
Neuromuscular junction - acetyl choline released from the motor neuron axon onto muscle fibers = activation
(Neuron + fibers = motor unit)
What is a threshold?
Smallest stimulus which can stimulate action potential (action potentials are all or none, not graded)
Increasing muscular contraction is due to what?
due to recruitment of motor units
What are the differences between red and white muscle fibers?
Red- more myoglobin(stores ATP), thinner, more mitocondria, more blood capillaries, slow twitch(Type1), slow fatique (neck postural)
White - less myoglobin, thicker, fewer mitochondria, fewer capillaries, fast twitch (type IIB), fast fatique(arm strength)
Name the 4 muscle act and there functions?
Prime Mover- directly performs the function
