Stretching of muscles tendons and ligaments by Contracting the antagonist muscles

Active stretching

Stretching muscles tendons and ligaments by force other than the antagonist muscles

Passive stretching

Maintaining a slow controlled sustain stretch over time (GTO'S ARE ACTIVATED)

Static stretching

A series of quick bouncing type stretches. Activates muscle spindles , ( puts greater stretch in tendon

Ballistic stretching

Ligaments reinforcing a joint are stretched and possibly torn

Sprain

Partial dislocation of a joint

Subluxation

Total malalignment of a joint

Dislocation (luxation)

Often repaired with arthroscopic surgery

Torn intracapsular cartliage

Inside of knee capsule , flap irritation

Placa syndrome

Inflammation of the bursa

Bursitis

Inflammation of the joint

Arthritis

Wear and tear arthritis (greater bone density)

Osteoarthritis

Autoimmune disorder in which the immune system attacks synovial joints

Rheumatoid arthritis

Uric acid and crystallizes in the joints

Gout

Functions of muscle tissue

Movement, maintenance of posture, joint stabilization, and heat generation

Enables the body to remain sitting or standing

Maintenance of posture

Muscle contractions produce heat helps maintain normal body temperature

Heat generation

Tissues in the muscletebdinious unit ?

Muscle cells, tendons, connective tissue and fascia

Binds a skeletal muscle and its fibers together and continuous with tendons

Connective tissue shealths

Surrounds entire muscle

Epimysium

Surrounds each fascicle

Perimysium

Surrounds each muscle cell

Endomysium

Ability to shorten to generate Force

Contractility

Ability to react to a stimulus

Excitability

Ability to be stretched

Extensibility

Ability to recoil after being stretched

Elasticity

Look up ???

Contractile component (CC)

Property is tendons

Series elastic component (SEC)

Fascia and other , connective tissues

Parallel elastic component (PEC)

Contractility and excitability

Active tissue

Extensibility and elasticity

Passive tissue

Appears to represent an increase in fiber diameter rather than fiber numbers, in humans the same number of fibers president at Birth is maintained throughout life except for the loss from injury

Hyperplasia

The basic unit of contraction of skeletal muscle

Sarcomere

Extend from Z disc toward the center of the sarcomere

Thin actin filaments

Located in the center of the sarcomere, overlap inner ends of the thin filaments contain ATPase enzymes

Thick myosin filaments

Elastic filament

Titan

Boundaries of each sarcomere (end)

Z disc ( z line )

Full length of the thick filament. Includes inner end of the thin filaments (red)

A bands

Center of the H Zone. Contains tiny rods that hold thick filaments together (middle )

M line

Region with only thin filaments. Lies within two adjacent sarcomeres (white strips ).

I band

An elaborate smooth endoplasmic reticulum made of interconnecting tubules

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

Contains calcium ions, release when muscle is stimulated to contract

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

A deep invagination of the sarcolemma

T tubules

What's a motor unit comprise of ?

The nerve cell body, the nerve Axon, all muscle fibers innervated by the nerve fibers.

Number of fibers in the MU depends on ?

How precise / powerful the movements are that the muscle normally does

Hand muscles have ?

< 100 fibers /MU

Quads , gastroc , and he

< 100 fibers/MU

What are units are confined to how many muscles
