Axial Musculature Flashcards
What type of tissue adds to muscles
Connective tissues
Endomysium
Wraps cell
Perimysium
Wraps fascicle- bundle of fiber
Epimysium
Wraps muscle
Fascia
Wraps muscle group
Fascicle and muscles shape
7 types
Strength of a muscle and the direction of its pull are partly determined by the orientation of its fascicles
Parallel muscles
Uninform width, fascicles aligned with all of them in a the same direction
Fusiform muscles
Thick in the middle, tapered at the ends like biceps
Triangular muscles
Broad at one end and narrow at the other end
Muscles groups and compartments
Compartments are enclosed by fascia which wraps around muscles to create the intermuscular septa
Pennate muscles 3 kind
Feather-shaped
Unipennate, bipennate and multipennate
Circular muscles
Form rings around body like eyes and mouth
Muscle contraction
Isotonic changing the muscle length by eccentric extension or concentric flexion
Isometric muscle contracts but size doesn’t change
First class lever
Seesaw
Fulcrum at the middle
Third class lever
Flexing a muscle, rowing a boat
Effort is at the middle
Second class lever
Pulling something or standing on tippy toes
Load in the middle
Intrinsic Muscles
Muscles contained within a region like the hand
Upper limbs
Anterior and posterior compartments
Lower limbs
Anterior, Posterior, medial, and lateral compartments.
Direct fleshy attachment
Close association with bones, connect to collagen fibers
Extrinsic Muscles
Muscles that move the specific region but are found outside of the region like the forearm moving the hand
Indirect attachment
Tendon attaches muscles to bone, connects into periosteum and matrix
Aponeurosis
Broad sheet of tendon that can attach to tissues other than bones
Synergist
Prevents unwanted movement in an intermediate joint crossed by prime mover
Aids the prime mover
Prime mover
Produces the main action, chief muscle
Antagonist
Opposes the action of the prime mover and must be relaxed before the contraction of prime mover
Fixator
Prevents bone movement by its concentration does not produce movement by itself but helps prime mover
Large muscles
Major or Maximus
