Contractions

What are the stretches of skeletal muscle that are in between the nucleus called?

Endomysium

What are the functions of muscle?

Movement, stability, Control of body openings and passages, heat production, glycemic control

What types of things fall under movement?

Body parts, body contents, communcitation

What types of things fall under stability?

Maintain posture, resist pull of gravity

What types of things does heat production fall under?

Up to 85 % of body heat, maintaining homeostasis,

What types of things fall under glycemic control?

Regulating blood glucose, absorb, store and use glucose

what are the properties of muscles?

Excitability, conductivity, contractility, extensibility, elasticity

react to stimuli

excitability

move stimulation through muscle cell

conductivity

shorten when stimulated

contractility

Stretch without harm

Extensibility

Can recoil from stretch

Elasticity

A skeletal muscle is a_________

organ, and has more than skeletal muscle tissue

What other things does skeletal muscle consist of besides skeletal muscle tissue?

Muscular, connective and nervous tissue and blood vessels

What are the pieces of connective tissue and fascicles?

Endomysium, Perimysium (Fascicles), Epimysium, and Fascia

Thin piece of connective tissue around each muscle fiber

endomysium

thicker piece of connective tissue that binds fibers into fascicles

perimysium

bundles of fibers

fascicles

connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle

epimysium

connective tissue sheets that separate neighboring muscles from each other and from the skin and separates muscles into function groups or compartments

epimysium

What are the different fascicle orientation muscle classification?

Parallele muscle, fusiform muscle, pennate muscle, triangular convergent muscles, circular muscles (sphincters)

What are the strength of a muscle and direction of its pull determined partly by?

The orientation of the fascicles

Differences in muscle fascicle orientation form the basis for what?

Classification of muscle into five types

muscles that are thick in the middle and tapered at each end

fusiform

What are examples of fusifrom muscles?

Biceps bachii and gastrocnemius

Long strap-like muscles of uniform width and parallel fascicles

Parallel muscles

fan-shaped muscles begin at a broad origin and converge on a narrower insertion

convergent

Example of parallel muscle

sartorius

Example of convergent muscle

pectoralis major

feather-shaped muscles in which fascicles insert obliquely on a tendon that runs the length of the muscle like the shaft ofa featerh

Pennate

Example of pennate muscle

deltoid

Spinchters form rings around body openings

Circular muscles

Example of circular muscle

Orbiculris oculi

What do tendons do?

Attach muscle to bone

muscles connect periosteum to what?

Matrix

Aponeurosis

Broad sheet of tendon

What are the ways muscles can attach to other parts of the body?

Indirect to bone


Aponeurosis


Direct fleshy attachement


Can attach to tissues

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

Where do muscles of facial expression attach?

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,
