What are the four patterns of fascicle organization?

Parallel, Convergent, Pennate & Circular

Parallel muscles are made up of two myofilaments, they are?

Thin - Actin & Thick - Myosin

Parallel muscle fascicles are parallel to the what?

Axis of the muscle

A convergent muscle is a broad area that converges on attachment sites, such as?

Tendon, Aponeruosis, & Raphe

Convergent muscle fibers pull in different directions, depending on stimulation and example can be found in which muscle?

Pectoralis

What are the characteristics of a pennate muscle?

Form an angle with the tend, do not move as far, contain more myofibrils and develop more tension than a parallel muscle

The different forms of pennate muscles are:

Unipennate - Fibers on one side of tendon


Bipennate - Fibers on both sides of tendon


Multipennate - Tendon branches within muscle

An example of a unipennate muscle is?

Extensor digitorum (top of forearm)

An example of a bipennate muscle is?

Rectus femoris

An example of mulitpennate muscle is?

Deltoid

Levers: Skeletal Motion

1) Skeletal muscles attach to skeleton, produce motion.


2) Type of muscle attachment affects power, range and speed of muscle movement.

Levers: Mechanically, each bone is a lever.

1) A rigid, moving structure


2) each joint has a fulcrum - A fixed point

Levers: Muscles provide applied force (AF)

1) Required to overcome load or resistance

Levers: Function of a lever is to change

1) Direction of an applied force


2) Distance and speed of movement produced by an applied force


3)Effective strength of an applied force

First-class lever

1) Center fulcrum between applied force and load


2) Force and load are balanced


(Seesaw)


Second-class lever

1) The load is centered between AF (applied force) & F (Fulcrum)


2) A small force moves a large weight


(Wheelbarrow)


Third-class lever

1) Most common levers in the body


2) Center the AF between load and Fulcrum


3) Greater force moves smaller resistance


4) Maximizes speed and distance traveled

Muscles have one fixed point of attachment it's known as the?

Origin

Muscles have one moving point of attachment known as the?

Insertion

Origin of a muscle is usually proximal to insertion this means that it's what?

Toward or closer to point of attachment

Muscle attachment action:

1) Movements produces by muscle contraction


2) Body movements


3) Described in terms of bone, joint, or region

Muscle attachment interactions:

1) Muscles work in groups to maximize efficiency


2) Smaller muscles reach maximum tension first, followed by larger, primary muscles

What does muscle opposition mean?

Agonists and antagonists work in pairs when:


One contracts, the other stretches


All muscle names have the word "muscle" after it except for?

Platysma & Diaphragm

Six descriptive names for skeletal muscles

1) Location in the body


2) Origin & Insertion


3) Fascicle organization


4) Relative position


5) Structural Characteristics


6) Action

Relative position of externus or superficial is?

Visible at body surface

Relative position of Internus or Profundus

Deep muscles

Relative position of Extrinsic is?

Muscles outside an organ

Relative position of Intrinsic is?

Muscles inside an organ
