Ch 5 Muscular WAW Flashcards
Proprioceptors
Responsible for detecting our bodies position in space
Elements needed to produce movement
Calcium and Sodium
Isometric contraction
Tension changes but the length stays the same
Tendon
Anchor down muscles to bone
Myosin
Thick filament part of a sarcomere
Mouth and eyes muscle shape
circular
Eccentric contraction
Tension and length changes
Concentric contraction
Flextion to shorten the muscle
Origin
Anchor the muscle closer to the midline or proximally
Lactic acid
Waste byproduct made by muscles
Anaerobic metabolism
The process where energy is made without O2
Postural muscles
Muscle type with high endurence but low power
Fast twitch fibers
2B fibers
Phasic muscles
Muscle that has high power and low endurence
Golgi tendon organ
Detects the amount of tendon in the muscle
Fast twitch only found in animals
2A fibers
Insertion
Another word for attachment site
Aerobic respiration/ metabolism
Process cells use O2 to make energy
Fixator
Stabilize an area
Pennate
Feather light
Actin
Thin filament part of a sarcomere
Sarcomere
Functional unit of muscle tissue
Antagonist
Perform opposite action of prime mover muscles
Trigger points
Tender points
Fascial tissue
Thin sheet incasing muscles
Action potential
Begining of an muscle contraction
Muscle spindles
Stretch receptors
Slow twitch fibers
Z fibers
another word for prime mover
Agonist
Synergist
Assist Agonist
