Biceps Brachii Muscle Action?

Flexes and supinates forearm

Coracobrachialis Muscle Action?

Adducts arm and flexes shoulder

What do the muscles on the posterior forearm do?

They are the exstensor muscles, they extend the hand

Of the quadraceps, which muscle also flexes the hip?

The Rectus Femoris

Is the sartorius muscle part of the quadraceps?

No

What do the scalene muscles do during inspiration?

They elevate the ribs

Does the diaphragm flatten during contraction?

Yes, when relaxed it is a dome shaped muscle

During inspiration, what do the External intercostals do?

They Expand or elevate the rib

Where is the linea alba located?

Midline of the rectus abdominus

What are the six extraocular muscles?

  1. Superior rectus
  2. Inferior rectus
  3. Lateral rectus
  4. Medial rectus
  5. Inferior oblique
  6. Superior oblique

Inferior oblique muscle action?

Elevates and abducts the eyeball

Superior oblique muscle action?

Depresses and abducts the eyeball

Lateral rectus muscle innervated by?

Abducens Nerve

Superior oblique muscle innervated by?

The Trochlear Nerve

Digastric Muscle Action?


  • Depresses mandible
  • Elevates hyoid bone
  • Used in chewing and swallowing

What are the four muscles of mastication?

  1. Masseter
  2. Temporalis
  3. Medial pterygoid
  4. Lateral pterygoid

Muscles of mastication are innervated by?

Trigeminal Nerve

What is the origin of the sternoclaidomastoid muscle?

The manubrium of the sternum and the clavicle

The origin of a muscle is the end that?

Is attached to the more stationary of the two bones

What does a fixator muscle do?

A muscle that acts as a stabalizer

Traponin function?


  • In a relaxed muscle, troponin is attached to tropomyosin which blocks the attachment sites for myosin preventing contraction
  • When calcium is introduced to troponin, it changes shape which exposes the binding sites for myosin
  • Contraction of the muscle begins

F actin function?

  • F actin is the thin filament in the sliding filament model of muscle contraction
  • F actin is made up of G actin molecule in a tight circular wound pattern
  • Tropomyosin is twisted in with the g actin

Calmodulin function?

Functions similarly to troponin, by binding to calcium and changing shape to allow for contraction, however this molecule is present in smooth muscle contraction

Tropomyosin function?


  • Spiraled around the thin filament of a sarcomere, and attached to traponin
  • When traponin binds to calcium, it causes tropomyosin to move, and expose the binding sites for myosin heads

Myosin function?

  • Club like head of the thick filament in a sarcomere
  • Binds to actin at binding sites when tropomyosin is moved
  • Myosin heads flex, then bind, which leads to the muscle flexing

Does muscle relaxation require ATP?

Yes

How does creatine phosphate provide quick burst of muscle energy?

It anaerobically donates a phosphate group to ADP to form ATP for muscle use

Which muscle fibers have more mitochondria, slow or fast twitch?

Slow twitch fibers, because they are designed for endurance

What causes rigor mortis?

  • Lack of ATP
  • Calcium leaking from the Sarcoplasmic Reticulum

What causes muscle fatigue?

  • Use of all substrate storage, such as ADP and glycogen
  • Accumulation of metabolites, such as chloride, potassium, lactic acid, etc.

Motor Unit

Consists of a motor neuron, and the muscle fibers innervated by that motor neuron's axon terminals

T Tubules

Deep invagination of the plasma membrane of a skeletal cell, that allows for depolarization of the membrane to quickly penetrate to the interior of the cell

Neuromuscular Junction

  • Formed where the axon terminal of a neuron and the muscle cell meet
  • Neurotransmitter that is released in the synaptic cleft is Acetylcholine

Three parts of the Neuromuscular Junction?

  1. Presynaptic membrane (nerve side)
  2. Synaptic cleft (middle space)
  3. Postsynaptic membrane (skeletal muscle side)

Resting membrane potential is positive or negative with respect to the outside of a muscle cell?

Negative

Voltage gated channels respond to?

Change in voltage

Connective tissue surrounding fascicles of skeletal muscle?

Perimysium

Four properties of skeletal muscle?

  1. Conductivity
  2. Exstensibility
  3. Contractility
  4. Elasticity

Eccentric Isotonic Contraction


  • A contraction in which the muscle lengthens due to the resistance being greater than the force the muscle is producing
  • ex: second half of a curl, the angle of the arm increases while the muscle is still working
