AXIAL MUSCLES Flashcards
This is a fundamental type of tissue; for locomotion & movement of the various parts of the body; it is highly cellular & well-vascularized
Contractility
It is voluntary and striated; found in the skeletons & mmjoints of skeletons via tendons.
Skeletal muscles
This is involuntary and striated; found in the heart muscle.
Cardiac muscle
This is involuntary and non-striated; found in the walls of hollow internal organs
Smooth muscle
PART OF SKELETAL MUSCLE:
This is the stationary attachment of muscle usually to the bone
Origin
PART OF SKELETAL MUSCLE:
This is the movable attachment of the muscle.
Insertion
PART OF SKELETAL MUSCLE:
This is the fleshy part of the muscle
Belly
MUSCLE GROUPS ACCORDING TO THEIR PRIMARY ACTIONS:
This is contraction is mainly responsible for producing a particular movement
EX: BICEPS BRACHII- flexion of forearm
Prime mover or agonist
MUSCLE GROUPS ACCORDING TO THEIR PRIMARY ACTIONS:
This opposes the action of the agonist
EX: TRICEPS BRACHII- extends forearm
Antagonist
MUSCLE GROUPS ACCORDING TO THEIR PRIMARY ACTIONS:
This assists prime movers in its action; it reduce excess & unnecessary motion
EX: Latissimus Dorsi & Teres Major
