|
What happens in direct fleshy attachment of muscles? |
Close association with bone Gap contains collagen fibers |
|
Muscles attachment at relatively stationary end of bone |
origin |
|
muscles attachment at more mobile end of bone |
insertion |
|
area between origin and insertion |
Belly |
|
When does a direct fleshy attachment occur |
When collagenous fibers of the epimysium are continuous with the periosteum red muscles seems to emerge from the bone |
|
Indirect attachement |
a tendon emerges from the connective tissue of the muscles and merges into the periosteum |
|

Collagen fibers of the dermis |
|
Most skeletal muscles do what with respect to attachment? |
1. attach to a different bone at each end 2. Span at least one joint 3. Move one bon relative to another |
|
T or F: the moving and stationary ends cannot be reversed in different actions of the same muscle |
F, may be reversed |
|
Effect produced by a muscle Either produces or prevents movement |
Action |
|
Produces main force of action |
Primer mover (agonist) |
|
Aids prime mover Stabilizes joint |
Synergist |
|
opposes prime mover antagonists pair- act on opposite sides of joint |
Antagonist |
|
prevents bone movement |
fixator |
|
What are the functional groups of muscles? |
Action, primer mover or agonist, synergist, antagonist, fixator |
|
Muscles that have both origin and insertion and are contained in a particular region such as head or hand |
Intrinsic |
|
muscles that Act upon a designated region, and has an origin elsewhere |
Extrinsic |
|
Example of extrinsic muscles |
muscles of the forearm whose tendons extend into the hand |
|
system to gain speed, distance or force |
lever |
|
joint is akin to the |
fulcrum |
|
Effort is akin to the |
muscle |
|
resistance (load) |
object moved |
|
What are the portions of the muscles and bones as levers? |
Lever, fulcrum or joint, effort or muscle, resistance or load, effort arm, resistance arm |
|
Bones act as what_________ |
levers |
|
What do bones as levers act on? |
Muscles |
|
What do muscles do in the lever analogy? |
exert force |
|
What does a lever rotate around? |
a fixed point known as the fulcrum |
|
When does rotation occur in the lever/muscle/e bone analogy? |
when effort applied to one point on the lever overcomes a resistance (load) located at some other point |
|
What is the effort arm? |
The part of a lever from the fulcrum to the point of effort |
|
Resistance arm is the part of the lever from where to where |
fulcrum to point of resistance |
|
bone is the |
lever |
|
joint is |
fulcrum |
|
effort is generated by |
muscle |
|
What is the function of a lever? |
Produce a gain in speed and distance or force of motion (lever cannot do both at the same time) |
|
With levers, their is a trade off between |
speed and force, relating to the mechanical advantage of the lever |
|
Mechanical advantage is equal to the |
length of the effort arm divided by the length of the resistance arm |
|
If the mechanical advantage is greater than 1.0 the lever produces more |
force but relatively less speed and distance |
|
First class of levers |
Fulcrum in the middle, seesaw, atlanto-occipital joint effort at one end, and resistance at the other |
|
Second class of levers |
Resistance in the middle, lifting wheelbarrow, mandible fulcrum at one end, effort at other end |
|
Third class of levers |
Effort in middle, paddling canoe, elbow fulcrum at one end, resistance at the other end, |
|
End on slide |
