05. Muscular System (Myology) Flashcards
What are the 3 types of muscles?
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Which type of muscle is this:
- Fibers: striated, tubular and multi nucleated
- Voluntary
- Usually attached to skeleton
Skeletal muscle
Which type of muscle is this:
- Fibers: non-striated, spindle-shaped, and uninucleated
- Involuntary
- Usually covering wall of internal organs
Smooth muscle
Which type of muscle is this:
- Fibers: striated, branched and uninucleated
- Involuntary
- Only covering walls of the heart
Cardiac muscle
Which type of muscle is this:
- Specialized tissue
- Attached to the bones
- Allows movement
Skeletal muscle
For skeletal muscles: most muscles originate or
insert on the what?
Skeleton
What is the origin of the skeletal muscles?
The fixed point of attachment
What is the termination (insertion) of the skeletal muscles?
The moving point of attachment
What is the belly of the muscle?
Central body of the muscle
Spindle-shaped and tendons at the ends
A collagenous band
connecting a skeletal muscle to an element of the skeleton
Tendons
What is this:
- A thin sheath of connective tissue that helps connect muscles to bones
- Support muscles and give body strength and
stability - Support muscles and give body strength and
stability
Aponeurosis
What is this:
- Connective tissue found under the skin.
- Connects different bones, organs, and other soft tissues together.
Fascia
What are the types of subcutaneous tissue?
Fascia
Adipose Tissue
What is this:
- Body fat
- Loose connective tissue
composed of adipocytes
Adipose tissue
What are the basis for
naming skeletal muscles?
- Shape and location
- Divisions and attachments
- Direction of the fibers
- Superficial or deep
- Size
- Action
