Anatomy FoM 3 Flashcards
Two types of fascia
Superficial
Deep
Definition of fascia
Connective tissue that separates skin from deeper structure (muscles and bones)
Characteristics of superficial fascia
Made of fatty layer and membranous layer
Gives body rounded form
Characteristics of deep fascia
Enclose muscle compartments
Affect way infection spreads
Limiting expansion can compromise blood supply when swelling happens
What does voluntary means?
Contraction controlled by nerves and under conscious control
Ending of skeletal muscle cell and nerve fibre
Motor end plate
(neuromuscular junction)
If nerve supply to skeletal muscle doesn’t occur, what happen?
Component muscle fibres atrophy rapidly
Shapes and size of skeletal muscle cells and fibres
Long and cylindrical
Multinucleated
2-35cm long
Role of myofibril
Responsible for muscle contraction
Why is cross striation shown?
Due to arrangement of cytoplasmic myofilaments that constitute myofibrils
Arrangement of collagen fascicles within the tendon permit…
Passive transmitter of force from muscle to bone
Compare stiffness and tensile strength of muscle and tendon
Tendon is stiffer and greater tensile strength
Junction between muscles and tendons
myotendinous junction
(common site of injuries)
How does tendon CT is repaired?
Activation of fibroblasts, which synthesise CT fibres including collagen
Major movements of trunk
Flexion, extension, lateral flexion, rotation
Muscles in anterior and lateral abdominal wall
External oblique
Internal oblique
Rectus abdominis
Transversus abdominis
What muscles actively involved in increasing pressure of abdominal cavity?
External oblique
Internal oblique
Rectus abdominis
Transversus abdominis
Extensor of the back
Erector spinae
Role of linea alba
Type of connective tissue that separate left and right rectus abdominal muscles and site of incision
Flexor of trunk
External oblique
Internal oblique
Rectus abdominis
Lateral flexor of trunk
External oblique
Internal oblique
Latissimus dorsi
Erector spinae
Role of serratus anterior
Scapula protraction
Scapula lateral rotation
Role of pectoralis major
Shoulder medial rotation
Shoulder adduction
Shoulder flexion
Role of deltoid
Anterior head: shoulder flexion
All heads: shoulder abduction
Posterior head: shoulder extension, shoulder lateral rotation
