A&P 2.5 tendon reflex/dural folds Flashcards
Pectoralis minor
A, I, O
A - depress the scapula, anterior tilt of scapula, abduction (protraction) of the scapula, downward rotation of the scapula
O - ribs 3-5 (anterior surface, near costal cartilage)
I - coracoid process of the scapula
Named for location and size
Subclavius
A, I, O
A- draws clavicle inferior and anterior, elevate the first rib, stabilize the sternoclavicular joint
O - first rib and cartilage
I - inferior to the surface of the lateral clavicle or arcominal end
Named for location
Reflex arc review
Stimulus, sensory receptor, sensory neuron, integrating center, motor neuron, effector, response
Stretch reflex
Review
SPINAL REFLEX
Stimulus (STRETCH of muscle), sensory receptor (muscle spindle), sensory neuron, integrating center (MONOSYNAPTIC), motor neuron (reciprocal innervation occurs concurrently)
- effector (agonist muscle, muscle stretched, “prime mover”,ipsilateral), (antagonist, “prime stopper”)
response (agonist contract) and (antagonist relax)
Golgi tendon organs
Thin capsule of connective tissue located at the muscle and tendon junction enclosing a few fascicles
Sensory nerve endings are going to penetrate the fibers measuring their length thus providing information on muscle tension
One every tendon for every skeletal muscle
Tendon reflex
AKA Golgi tendon reflex
Tendon reflexes decrease muscle tension by causing muscle relaxation
7 steps
Tendon reflex
Stimulus
Increased TENSION on a tendon
Tendon reflex
Sensory receptor
Golgi muscle tendon organ
Tendon reflex
Sensory neuron
To integrating center
Tendon reflex
Integrating center
Sensory neuron synapses with an INTERNEURON which synapses with a motor neuron
Sensory - integration - muscle goes to both antagonist & agonist
POLYSYNAPTIC
Tendon reflex
Motor neuron
Reciprocal innervation occurs concurrently
Tendon reflex
Effector
Antagonist
Agonist
Tendon reflex
Response
Antagonist - contracts
Agonist - relaxes
Golgi tendon reflex
Function of the tendon organ is like that of a muscle spindles and all proprioceptors is more about location in space than reflexive movement.
More so of tendon organs than muscle spindles because stretch reflexes are easier to elicit
Reflexes are the basic unit of neuromuscular function
All higher level integration involves sensory input from the same receptors.
