increase angle between articulating bones
extension
movement of a bone away from the midline
abduction
adduction
movement of a bone toward the midline
flexion, abduction, extension, and adduction in which the distal end of a body party moves in a circle and does a cone shape in space
circumduction
rotation
movement of a bone around its axis; to turn a bone around another
superior movment of a body part
elevation
depression
inferior movement of a body part
anterior movement of a body part in the transverse plane (move a part forward)

inversion
lateral movement of the sole
eversion
movement of the forearm that turns the plan anteriorly
supination
movement of the forearm that turns the palm posteriorly
pronation
movement of the thumb across the palm to touch fingertips on the same hand
opposition
study of joints
arthrology
study of human movement
kinesiology
functions of muscular system
body movements, heat production, stabilizing body position = posture, and storing and moving substances within the body
visceral muscle
=smooth (muscle in the wall of hollow organs such as the ureters, digestive system, and arteries
cardiac
=heart (muscle forming myocardium of the wall of the hart involved in movement of blood through the heart, arteries, capillaries, and veins
properties of muscular tissue
electrical excitibility, contractility, extensebility, elasticity
ability to respond to certian stimuli by producing electrical signals
electrical excitibility
ability to contract forcefully when stimulated by an action potential
contractility
muscle develops tension but does not shorten; ex. holding a book in an outstretched hand
isometric contraction
tension remains almost constant while the muscle shortens; ex. lifting a book from a table
isotonic contraction
ability of a muscle to stretch without being damaged
extensibility
return of a muscle to its original shape and length after contraction or extension
elasticity
connective tissue components of muscles
superifical fascia, deep fascia, epimysium, perimysium, endomysium, tendons, aponeuroses, tendon sheath
subcuaneous layer (areolar and adipose tissue between skin and muscles; ex. blood vessels, lymphatics, and nerves)
superficial fascia
dense irregular connective tissue ex; surrounds functional groups of muscles
deep fascia
external connective tissue sheath around a muscle
epimysium
surrounds internal subdivisions of the muscle, the fascicles - fasciculi
perimysium
dense regular tissue forming cord-like structure between a muscle and a bone
tendons
sheet-like tendon that extends from the edge of a broad flat muscle
aponeuroses
surrounds the tendons of some muscles in the wrist and ankle
tendon sheath
small mesodermal cells with a single nucleus
myoblasts
each mature striated (=skeletal) muscle cell (=fiber) develops by
fusion of 100 or more myoblasts
what happens after fusion of myoblasts
cell division is no longer possible in a skeletal muscle cell
a term that refers to the 100 or more muclei in each skeletal muscle cells
multinucleate
the number of skeletal muscle cells ine ach individual is determined (=fixed)
before birth
most cells last a life time (t or f)
true
increases in the size of a muscle involves _________ of existing muscle fibers, not an increase in the number ___ of muscle fibers
enlargement( =hypertrophy), hyperplasia
natural increases in the size of muscle fibers are affected by ___________
human growth hormone and testosterone
wasting away of muscles
muscular atrophy
cell membrane surround the cell
sarcolemma
cytoplasm of the cell
sarcoplasm
cells are shown to be _____ under magnification
cross-banded
longitudinally arranged fibers in the sarcoplasm of a cell
myofibrils
myofibril consists of
linearly arrnaged sarcomeres bounded by z-lines
each sarcomere contains __________
actin and myosin (=thin and thick) protein myofilaments
what produces striations
overlapping of actin and myosin; darker A bands with lighter I bands
deliver electrical impulses (=stimulation) to muscle cells
motor neurons
sliding filament theory of muscle contraction
that upon being electrically stimulated, actin and myosin myofilaments in a sarcomere slide between each other, Z-lines move toward each other, and myofibrils, muscle cells, and motor units shorten

antagonist (ex; triceps brachii extends the forearm)
all or none principle of muscular contraction means
that the extent to which a nerve or a muscle will respond to a stimulus is dependant upon the stimulus being of threshold (ex; the response is not stronger as a result of increasing strength of stimulus)

lever
a lever is acted on at two different points by two different forces
the effort (E), which causes movement, and the load or resistance, which opposes the movement
force exerted by muscular contraction
effor
fulcrum is between the effort and load: as in raising the head where effort (E) is provided by muscle contraction, atlanto-occipital joint is the fulcrum, and weight of anterior portion of the head is the load
first class lever
the load is between the fulcrum and the effor
second class lever (none present in body)
effort is between the fulcrum and load: as in flexion of teh forearm where the elbow joint is the fulcrum, contraction of the biceps brachii provides the effort, and weight of hand and forearm is the load
