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 |
|
