Ch 9 Lec 3 - Muscles Flashcards
type of lever that is a see-saw with resistance opposite of effort with a central fulcrum
first class
example of first class lever
neck extension
the effort in neck extension
neckextensors
fulcrum of neck extension
atlanto-occipital joint
resistance in neck extension
skull
type of lever that is a wheel barrow and the effort is opposite of fulcrum to move the resistance
second class
example of second class lever
plantar flexion
effort of plantar flexion
calf
fulcrum of plantar flexion
MP joint
resistance of plantar flexion
weight of body
type of lever that is a hockey wrist shot where the effort is in between fulcrum and resistance
third class
example of a third class lever
elbow flexion
effort of elbow flexion
biceps brachii
fulcrum of elbow flexion
elbow joint
resistance of elbow flexion
weight distal to joint
skeletal muscle fiber that has high energy requirements, are anaerobic, have large diamater, and densely packed myofibrils
fast fibers
fast fibers have blank mitochondria
few
fast fibers have rapid, powerful brief blank
contractions
skeletal muscle fibers with more myoglobin, aerobic, and smaller diameter
slow fibers
slow fibers take blank to contract
longer
slow muscles are blank in color
red
fast fibers are blank in color
white
skeletal muscle fibers that are slow and fast and have greater resistance to fatigue
intermediate fibers
blank can change one muscle type to another
