  • 3rd side (hint)
muscles are essential for what body functions
breathing, balance & movement, pumping blood,& digesting food & vision
what
what are the 3 types of muscles
cardiac, skeletal,& visceral(smooth) e
what is skeletal muscles
have striations, voluntary, move partof the skeleton, attaches to the bone
what is visceral(smooth)
no striations, involuntary, found in the walls of blood vessels, intestines & internal organs
what is cardiac
involuntary, some striations, found only in walls of the heart
skeletal muscles make up how much of ones body weight
40%
subsections of a muscle?
muscle-> bundles of fibre-> fibre->myofibrils-> myofiliments
named for
size, shape, action & point if attachment
#of muscles
over 600
tendon
muscles attach to the bone via a fiburous babd of connective tissue
origin
attached at one end by a gixed point
insertion
other end to a movable part/joint
are orgin & insertion on the same bone?
no, never
antagonistic relationship
our ability to move smoothly at varying speeds is direct result of antagonistic relationship between (groups) oppsing muscles
antagonistic relationship
primemover
when a muscle or group is contracted
antagonist
group on the opposite side of the bone, needed in order to resist the full extent if the contraction
ex of primemover & antagonist
when quads(primemover) are contracted the hamstrings(antogonist) act to prevent or oppose the quad from makeing our foot hit our face
atrophy
when a muscle is deprived of excersize the muscle decreases in size to the minimum required level
hypertrophy
if a muscle is worked hard the muscle will increase in size to meet the demand
why facial muscles are the kost unique muscles?
differ from skeletal muscles because of their insertion & attachment & are superficially located
facial muscles originate
on a bone but insert into the fascia(skin)
myriad of expression
our ability to contract and relax various combinations of these muscles w/finite accuracy allow us the myraid of expression that portray attitude, mood, &!assist in comsumption if food
sphincters (eyes+mouth)
where most muscles insert to allow for these very specific movements of expression
muscles of the nexk provide
stability & mobility
whiplash
common auto or sports injury cause by a servere blow from behind that a person is unprepared for and thus cant adjust their postion to counteract the direction of the force
why dies whiplash occur
no large muscles that exist anterioryly to the vertebrae in the nexk
main reason for whiplash
vision or a lack of as we are unprepared for impact
irribility
ability of muscle to react to stimuli(signt hearing touch smell)
contractility
when stimulated by nerve impulses, muscles become shorter & thicker
extensibility
antoganistic relationship that exisits between opssoting muscles that when a muscle contracts the other must lengthen
elasticity
after a muscle contracts, the ability for it to go back to its original lenth & width
function of the muscles of the upper body
support and protect the internal organs
& contract to flex and extend the trunk
