4 - Comparative Muscular System Flashcards
Types of muscle tissue:
– Skeletal
– Smooth
– Cardiac
Muscle fiber bundles:
•Endomysium
•Perimysium
•Epimysium
Muscle fiber arrangement:
•Strap/parallel
•Fusiform
•Pennate or penniform
Muscle attachment:
▪ Tendinous attachment
▪ Aponeurotic attachment
Fleshy attachment:
▪ Origin and insertion
▪ Head and belly
Functional Grouping of Muscles:
- Flexor
- Extensor
- Adductors
- Abductors
- Sphincters
- Cutaneous muscle
– Muscle on the side of the limb toward which a joint bends
Flexor
– Muscle on the opposite side of flexor muscles
Extensor
◼ Muscles that tend to pull a limb toward the median plane
Adductors
◼ Those that tend to move a limb away from the median plane
Abductors
◼ Muscle that surround an opening, whether striated or smooth
Sphincters
◼ Found in the superficial fascia between the skin and the deep fascia covering the skeletal muscle
◼ Attach to the skin, responsible for the movement of the skin
Cutaneous muscle
Synovial Structures of Muscles:
•Joint capsule
•Bursa
•Synovial sheath
– A synovial sac between two structures that tend to rub against each other
Bursa
– Resembles an elongated bursa with the edges of the bursa (sheath) reflected around the tendon until they meet
– Surrounds a tendon over a great distance and facilitates frictionless motion
Synovial sheath
The double fold of membrane formed where the edges of the synovial sheath is the?
Mesotendon
Thus a synovial sheath has three parts:
■Exotendon
■Endotendon
■Mesotendon
Bursa between tendon of infraspinatus and caudal part of greater tubercle of humerus?
Infraspinatus bursa
Bursa underlies the biceps tendon between greater and lesser tubercle of humerus?
Intertubercular bursa
Bursa over the olecranon tuber? – inconstant
Subcutaneous olecranon bursa
Bursa on the dorsal surface of the carpus?
Subcutaneous (precarpal) bursa
Bursa lies between the cannon bone and tendon of these muscles?
Subtendinous bursa of common and lateral digital extensors
Bursa between deep flexor tendon and navicular bone?
Navicular bursa
Synovial sheaths are found only in ______ part of limb?
distal
