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
circular muscle which controls a body orifice
sphincter muscle
distal end circles in shaft end cone
circumduction
classification of muscles
action shape points of attachment number of divisions direction of fibers location size
triangular shape muscle (upper arm)
deltoid
flat, thin shape muscle (front of neck)
platysma
four-sided muscle (thigh)
quadratus
large muscle (thigh-knee)
vastus
trapezoid/diamond (upper back)
trapexius
sphincter muscles, circular shaped (eye, heart, stomach)
orbicularis
sternoclavicular articulation and mastoid process of the temporal bone
sternocleidomastoid
major muscle used in vascular embalming
sternocleidomastoid
occipital bone and frontal bone (forehead to back of head meeting neck)
occipitofrontalis
2 headed muscle
bicept
3 headed muscle
tricept
found in ventral abdominal wall, fibers of this muscle form a right side up V
external oblique
found in ventral abdominal wall below external oblique, fibers of this muscle form an upside down “V” or teepee
internal oblique
innermost muscle of ventral abdominal wall, fibers go transversely or horizontally
transverse abdominus
