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
exercise
this muscle type is attached to hair follicles in skin
smooth
three smooth muscle characteristics
in walls of organs and blood vessels, nonstriated, involuntary, elastic, spindle shaped, slow contractions
two things that stimulate smooth muscles
nervous system, hormones, ions, stretching
many gap junctions, sheets of spindle-shaped cells, and contract together in this type of smooth muscle
single unit
example of single unit smooth muscle
blood vessels, digestive tract, urinary tract, respiratory tract
type of smooth muscle that has no or few gap junctions, separate fibers, only contract when stimulated by motor nerve
multi unit
example of multi unit smooth muscle
large blood vessels, uterus, iris of ey
muscle type that is striated, involuntary and autorhythmic
cardiac muscle
cardiac muscle is made of a network of fibers with blank at ends and is found only in blank
intercalated disks, heart
