Less moveable attachment of a muscle
Origin

Insertion
Circular muscles: _________ arranged fascicles
Concentrically
Circular muscles create a _________
Sphincter
Parallel Muscles: Fascicles run parallel to muscles long _______
Axis
___________ Muscles: Fascicles merges toward a common attachment site
Convergent
_______ Muscles: fascicles are organized as if part of a large fiber
Pennate
Three subtypes of pennate muslces:
- Unipennate
- Bipennate
- Multipennate
____-Pennate: All fibers on the same side of tendon
Uni
____-Pennate: Fibers on both sides of tendon
Bi
____-Pennate: Tendon branches within muscle
Multi
Prime mover, muscle that contracts to produce movement
Agonist
Muscle whose contraction opposes that of the agonist. Allows for smooth movement w/ controlled speed
Antagonist
Muscle that assists agonist by contributing tension or stabilizing point of origin (acting as fixators)
Synergist
Rotator Cuff Muscles
Subscapularis
Supraspinatus
Infraspinatus
Teres Minor
