59 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back

Origin

Attachment to staionary end of muscle

Insertion

Attachment to mobile end of muscle

Perimysium

AROUND- layer of connective tissue that surrounds fascicle (bundle of muscle fibers) - slightly thicker

Endomysium

INSIDE- thin areola tissue around each cell- allows room for capillaries and nerve fibers

Synergist

Stabilizes nearby joint, modifies direction of movement, aids prime mover, BICEPS BRACHII

Adduction

Movement of a body part toward median plane (spread legs-> put feet together)

Abduction

Movement of body part toward median plane (raising arm from side)

Prime mover inspiration

Produces most of the force; diaphragm

Epimysium

Covers whole muscle belly; blends into connective tissue between muscles

Deltoid

Multipennate shape; PRIME MOVER; flexion, extension, abduction of humerus

Tibialis anterior

Dorsi flexes and inverts foot, on the shin

Parallel muscle

Have parallel fascicles; can span long distances and shorten more than other muscle types; rectus femoris transverse abdominus

Intrinsic muscles

Contained within a region

Extrinsic muscles

Move the region but are found outside the region

Hallucis

Abduction and flexion of thr big, great, toe

Transverse abdominus

Horizontal fiber orientation; deepest layer; strongest; main stabilizer of your core

Infraspinatus

Thick, triangular muscle; externally rotate humerus and stabilize shoulder joint; rotator cuff muscle

Supraspinatus

Small muscle of upper back; aids deltoid in abduction of the arm and shoulder

Sartorius

Aids in knee and hip flexion, as in sitting or climbing ; abducts and laterally rotates thigh "tailors muscle", anterior thigh

Flexor carpi ulnaris

Flexes wrist anteriorly; aids in flexion of wrist , ulnar side

Iliopsoas

Iliacus, lesser troacantus, Prime hip flexor; inserts at femur; bending forward, leg rising

Gluteus maximus

Forms mass of buttock; prime hip extensor, provides most of lift for climbing stairs

Quadriceps femoral- 4 parts

1. Rectus femoris 2. Vastus lateralis 3. Vastus intermedius 4. Vastus medialus


Extends the knee

hamstrings

3 tendons: 1. semitendinosus 2. semimembranosus 3. bicep femoris; behind knee and thigh; involved in knee flexion and hip extension

rectus abdominus

vertical, strap-like ; tendinous insertions ; rectus sheath ; linea alba... weakest, most superior


corrugator supercilii

wrinkles eyebrows

levator anguli oris

smiling-elevates upper lip and angles mouth

sternocleidomastoid

(SCM) in the neck ; 3 attachments: 1. sternum 2. clavicle 3. temporal bone (mastoid process), whiplash muscle

properties of muscle tissue

contractility, excitability, extensibility...stretch, elasticity...recoil, conductivity

motor units

One motor neuron and all the skeletal muscle fibers it innervates

thin filaments

G-actin; holds tropomyosin molecules and 1 small tropnion

thick filaments

bundle of myosin molecules; spiral

rigor mortis

stiffening of body 3-4 hours after death; muscles contract but cannot relax due to no ATP production ; fibers remain contracted until myofilaments decay..... calcium released from terminal cisternae

troponin

binds calcium; on top of tropomyosin; shorter protein

tropomyosin

longer protein; covers active side of actin

red muscle fibers

slow oxidative, slow twitch, for endurance, resistant to fatigue

white muscle fibers

fast twitch, enzyme rich, for speed, fatigue easily

isometric contractions

SAME LENGTH- develops tension but does not change length

isotonic contractions

SAME TONE- concentric= tension while shortening; eccentric= tension while lengthening

voluntary muscles

skeletal; attached to bones

involuntary muscles

cardiac and smooth; NEVER attached to bones; filaments do not change length in shortening (in sarcomeres)

acetylcholine

nuerotransmitter for muscle cells; for muscle contraction. Alzheimers disease

muscular dystrophy

hereditary disease; skeletal muscles; mostly in males life span is about 20 years;; links actin filaments to cell membrane, Tears membranes

myasthenia gravis

autoimmune disease; antibodies attack NMJ and bincd ACh receptors; women 20-40; receptors removed; treated with cholineesterase inhibitors, thymus removal, or immunosuppressive agents

alzheimer's disease

memory loss for recent events, moody, combative, lose ability to talk walk and eat; degeneration of ACh and nerve growth factors; diagnoses at autopsy; nuerological disease, genetic connection

parkinson's disease

progressive loss of motor function, no recovery; degeneration of dopamine-releasing nuerons; involuntary muscle contractions

astrocytes

most abundant glial cells; forms framework for CNS; contribute to BBB (blood brain barriers) and regulate composition of brain tissue fluid; star shaped... form scar tissue in brain. Sclerosis

myelination

begins during fetal development; rapid in infancy; complete in adolescence; forms protective covering over axons 80% lipid

ependymal cells

line cavities and secrete CSF ( cerebral spinal fluid) ; found in brain

effector

muscle organ or gland that responds or carries out action issued by central nervous system

CNS - central nervous system

brain and spinal cord

visceral nervous system

smooth muscle, cardiac muscle, gland cells

schwann cells

myelinate fibers of PNS

oilgodendrocytes

form myelin sheaths in CNS; cell with few dendrites

dopamine

only in brain; an inhibitory catecholamine nuerotransmitter of the CNS; acts to suppress unwanted motor activity;

catecholamines

a subclass of biogenic amines; epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine

epinephrine

a catecholamine that functions as a nuerotransmitter in the sympathetic nervous system and as a hormone secreted by the adrenal medulla; ADRENALINE

norepinephrine

a catecholaminethat functions as a neurotansmitter and adrenal hormone, especially in the sympathetic nervous system

Tersa minor, infraspinatus

External rotation of shoulder
