what types of cells do muscles consist of |
contractile |
|
muscles give ___ to the body and provides___ |
form, heat |
|
name the three types of muscles and if they are striated of not |
1) skeletal (striated) 2)cardiac (striated) 3) smooth (non striated)
|
|
how much of your total body weight is compromised of muscle |
43% |
|
muscles have two attachments, what are they called |
origin (least moveable and usually proximal) insertion (more moveable and usually distal)
|
|
by what system are the muscles controlled |
somatic nervous system |
|
muscles can only contract and pull things together (t/F) |
true |
|
in this class what type of muscle are we mainly dealing with |
skeletal |
|
describe how skeletal muscle is made up |
long , large, unbranched, cylindrical fibers transverse sections arranged paralll |
|
fibers are bound together by what? |
connective tissue |
|
what is the functional unit of a muscle |
motor unit |
|
do muscles produce movement by shortening or lengtingin |
short |
|
name the three types of contractions |
1)isometric 2)concentric 3)eccentric |
|
define an isometric contraction |
muscle remains same length, muscle force matches the load, no movement |
|
define concentric contraction |
muscle shortens as it contracts |
|
define eccentric contraction |
also known as controlled relaxation, the force generated is insufficient to overcome the external load on the muscle |
|
the prime movers of muscles, also knows as what , do what |
agonists, they are the main muslces activated during a specific movement |
|
what does the antagonist do |
opposes the action of the prime movers |
|
what is a synergist |
complement the action of the prime movers |
|
what are fixators |
steady the proximal part of a limb while the distal parts are moving |
|
what are the ways to test skeletal muscle |
1. examiner attempts to move 2. examiner adds resitance |
|
in order for a muscle to exert maximum force, the joint should be positioned so that the muscle length is near this optimum |
fact |
|
name the two shapes of skeletal muscles |
1)pennate 2)parallel |
|
describe pennate style muscles |
featherlike arrangement, short and generate a long of power |
|
describe parallel fibers |
fibers set up to pull, they are long fibers that work best for speed and for long durations, however not great for power |
|
name the structures associated with skeletal fibers |
tendons, aponeuroses, synovial tendon sheaths, bursae |
|
define tendons, |
fibrous bands of dense tissue that attach muscles to bone or muscle to muscle |
|
what is a aponeuroses |
flat tendon that connects muscle to bone or muscle |
|
what are synovial tendon sheaths |
tubular sacs wrapped around tendons |
|
what is a bursae |
sac of synovial membrane that facilitate movemet by minimizing friction |
|
what muscle is useful for climbing, rowing and swimming |
lat dorsi |
|
which muscle is called the boxers muscles |
serratus anterior |
|
what muscles elevate the scapula |
superior fibers of trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboid major and minor |
|
which muscles depress the scapula |
pec minor, serratus anterior , trapezius inferior part |
|
which muscles deal with protraction of scapula |
pec minor and serratus anterior |
|
what muscles deal with the retraction of the scapulaq |
rhomboids, trapezius middle, lat dorsi |
|
what muscles deal with the superior movement/glenoid fassa |
serratus anterior, trapezious superior and inferior |
|
injury of what nerves affect abduction of the arm |
axillary, suprascapular, and c5 c6 segments |
|
what muscles are included in rotator cuff |
(SITS) supraspinatur, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis |
|
what is the main function of the rotator cuff muscles |
hold the head of humerous in glenoid cavity |
|
what are main muscle actions for flexion of glenohumeral |
1. pec major (deltoid) |
|
extension of glenohumeral |
1. lat dorsi (posterior deltoing |
|
abduction of glenohumeral |
deltoid (supraspinatus) |
|
adduction of glenohumeral |
lat dorsi and pec major (teres major) |
|
medial rotation of glenohumeral |
subscapularis and teres major (pec major, ant delt, lat dorsi) |
|
lateral rotation of glenohumeral |
infraspinatus and teres minor (posterior deltoid) |
