15CHAPTER 10: MUSCLES Flashcards
Where is deep fascia found?
found between adjacent muscles
Where would you find superficial fascia (hypodermis)?
adipose between skin and muscles
What are the 2 ways muscle attaches to bone?
Direct and indirect attachment.
What is the difference between direct and indirect attachment?
Direct attachment: epimysium is continuous with periosteum; e.g. intercostals
Indirect attachment: epimysium continues as tendon that merges into periosteum; e.g. biceps brachii
What does muscle attach to other than bone?
The dermis and aponeurosis.
How does muscle attach to the dermis (superficial fascia)?
epimysium attaches to collagen fibers of the dermis e.g. muscles of facial expression
What are aponeurosis?
sheet like tendon; e.g. abdominal muscles
During contraction, bone at one end is stationary (______) and bone at other end moves (_____).
Origin, Insertion
`What does origin mean?
attachment to least mobile bone
What does insertion mean?
attachment to most mobile bone
What is the belly of a muscle?
thicker, middle region of muscle
Strength of a muscle and its direction of action are determined primarily by what?
orientation of its fascicles
What are the 4 types of muscles?
- Prime mover (agonist)
- Synergist
- Antagonist
- Fixator
What is the function of a prime mover and give an example?
Produces most of the force -e.g. brachialis – flexion of the elbow
What is the function of a synergist and give an example?
Aids the prime mover -e.g. biceps brachii refines movement when elbow is flexed
What is the function of an antagonist and give an example?
Opposes the prime mover -e.g. triceps brachii opposes biceps brachii and visa versa (antagonist pair)
