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 |
