ANATOMY 2 EXAM 1 Flashcards
study of muscles
myology
connective tissue between muscle and bone or muscle to muscle
tendon
broad, flat tendon
aponeurosis
three types of muscle
cardiac, visceral(smooth), and skeletal
three parts of muscle
origin, insertion, and body/belly
any part of the muscle which shortens and thickens during contraction
body/belly
relatively fixed point of attachment of the muscle
origin
relatively movable point of attachment
insertion
heart only, moves involuntary, slightly striated
cardiac muscle
single nucleus, involuntary
visceral muscle
striated, multinucleated, voluntary
skeletal muscle
decreases angle between 2 body parts
flexion
increased the angle between 2 body parts
extension
pulls a body part away from the median plane
abduction
pull a body part toward the median plane
adduction
turns the palm of the hand posteriorly(out of anatomical position)
pronation
turns the palm of the hand anteriorly (back into anatomical position)
supination
implies a turning outward or inside out
eversion
to draw inward or outside in
inversion
reduce size of opening
constriction
expands size of opening
dilation
raises a body part or organ
elevation
lowers a body part
depression
turning of a bone about a long axis
rotation
