7 Vicab-Neuromuscular Efficiency Flashcards
0
Q
Muscle spindles
A
When stretched, causes excitement in turn causing muscle fibers to CONTRACT
Responsible for muscle spasms, report to brain, and makes muscle stretch correctly
1
Q
Auto genic inhibition
A
Process by which neural impulses that sense tension are greater than the impulses that contract, providing an inhibitory effect to the muscle spindles
2
Q
Ex squat with knock knees
A
Over active muscle need to be stretched to prevent excessive adduction
3
Q
Golgi tendon organ
A
Responsible for autogenic inhibition
Relaxes when excited
The contracting muscle is being inhibited by its own receptors
