Q

Aponeurosis

A

muscle is connected to bone using a broad sheet like tendon

20
Q

Intristic Muscles

A

Origin and insertion muscles contained within a certain region
(ex. muscles within hand or foot region)

21
Q

Extrinsic Muscles

A

Muscles that originate elsewhere but acts in another specific region
(ex. flexion of the digits require muscles in the forearm)

22
Q

Coordinated Groups of Muscles

Action

A

Effect produced by a muscle

Produce or prevent movement

23
Q

Coordinated Groups of Muscles

Prime Mover (agonist)

A

Muscles that produces main force of action
(ex. brachialis is the prime mover during elbow flexion)

24
Q

Coordinated Groups of Muscles

Synergist

A

Muscles that aids prime mover in any way
(ex. directly assisting or stabilizing joints for more coordinated movement)

25
Q

Coordinated Groups of Muscles

Antagonist

A

Muscle that opposes prime mover

Anatagistic Pair: muscles that act on opposite sides of joints

26
Q

Coordinated Groups of Muscles

Fixator

A

Muscles that prevents bone movement during muscle actions
(Ex. Arm abduction movement will abnormally pop scapula out laterally unless for fixators)

27
Q

Label the lever (wood), fulcum, effort, and resistance in regards to the body

A

Lever – bone.
Fulcrum – joint.
Effort – from muscle.
Resistance (load) – object moved.

28
Q

What is the formula for Mechanical Advantage?

A

Length of effort arm/Length of Resistance Arm

LoEA/LoRA

29
Q

What occurs when the Mechanical Advantage is both greater than or lesser than 1?

A

Greater than 1 MA = high power, low speed

Lesser than 1 MA = low power, high speed

30
Q

Describe the First Class Lever

A

Effort Fulcrum Resistance (EFR)

Fulcrum is in the middle
Example is a seasaw or extending neck

31
Q

Describe the Second Class Lever

A

Effort Resistance Fulcrum (ERF)

Resistance is in the middle
Ex. Lifting a wheelbarrow

32
Q

Describe the Third Class Lever

A

Resistance Effort Fulcrum (REF)

Effort in the middle
Ex. flexing elbow
(most common lever in the body)

33
Q

How are muscles named?

A
  • Size
  • Shape
  • Location
  • # of heads
  • Direction of fibers
  • Action
34

A

Raises the corner of mouth for smiling
(smiling muscles)

38
Q

Muscles of the Face
