Q
Naming skeletal muscles
A
Muscle location—bone or body region with which muscle associated
Muscle shape—e.g., deltoid muscle (deltoid = triangle)
13
Q
Naming skeletal muscles
A
- Muscle size:
- maximus (largest)
- minimus (smallest)
- longus (long)
- Direction of muscle fibers or fascicles
- rectus (fibers run straight),
- transversus (fibers run at right angles),
- oblique (fibers run at angles to imaginary defined axis)
14
Q
Naming skeletal muscles
A
-Number of origins—e.g., biceps (2 origins) and triceps (3 origins)
- Location of attachments—named according to point of origin and insertion (origin named first)
- sternocleidomastoid
- Muscle action—named for action they produce, e.g., flexor or extensor
- Several criteria can be combined, e.g., extensor carpi radialis longus
15
Q
T tubules are an extension of the
A
sarcolemma
T-tubules are extensions of the cell membrane (sarcolemma) that associate with the ends (terminal cisternae) of the sarcoplasmic reticulum
16
Q
The force exerted by a contracting muscle is _______.
A
muscle tension
17
Q
Which activity would be most dependent upon creatine?
A
diving
Creatine phosphate is a molecule that can store energy in its phosphate bonds. … This acts as an energy reserve that can be used to quickly create more ATP. When the muscle starts to contract and needs energy, creatine phosphate transfers its phosphate back to ADP to form ATP and creatine.
18
Q
Muscle mechanics: the importance of fascicle arrangement and leverage
A
- additional factors contributing to muscle force and speed
- fascicle arrangement
- lever systems
19
Q
How skeletal muscles produce movement: fascicle arrangement
A
-Fascicle arrangement affects a muscles power and range of motion
- 5 patterns of fascicle arrangement:
- parallel
- fusiform
- circular
- triangular
- pennate
- longer fibers produce a greater range of motion
- power of a muscle depends on its cross-sectional area
20
Q
Arrangement of fascicles: CIRCULAR
A
Fascicles arranged in concentric rings (e.g., orbicularis oris, orbicularis oculi)
21
Q
Arrangement of fascicles:
CONVERGENT
A
Broad origin; fascicles converge toward single tendon insertion (e.g., pectoralis major)
22
Q
Arrangement of fascicles: PARALLEL
A
Fascicles parallel to long axis of straplike muscle (e.g., sartorius)
23
Q
Arrangement of fascicles:
FUSIFORM
A
Spindle-shaped muscles with parallel fibers (e.g., biceps brachii)
24
Q
Arrangement of fascicles:
PENNATE
A
-Short fascicles attach obliquely to central tendon running length of muscle (e.g., rectus femoris)
- Three forms:
- Unipennate – fascicles attach only to one side of tendon (e.g., extensor digitorum longus)
- Bipennate – fascicles insert from opposite sides of tendon (e.g., rectus femoris)
- Multipennate –appears as feathers inserting into one tendon (e.g., deltoid)
25
Unipennate

26
Bipennate
arrangement of fascicles: pennate (2)
fascicles insert from opposite sides of tendon (e.g., rectus femoris)
27
Multipennate
arrangement of fascicles: pennate (3)
appears as feathers inserting into one tendon (e.g., deltoid)
28
Muscle mechanics: Lever systems
-Levers allow given effort to move heavier load; move load farther or faster
- Components of lever system:
* Lever—rigid bar (bone) that moves on a fixed point called fulcrum (joint)
* Effort—force (supplied by muscle contraction) applied to lever to move resistance (load)
* Load—resistance (bone + tissues + any added weight) moved by the effort
29
Lever
rigid bar (bone) that moves on a fixed point called fulcrum (joint)
30
Effort
force (supplied by muscle contraction) applied to lever to move resistance (load)
31
Load
resistance (bone + tissues + any added weight) moved by the effort
32
Mechanical advantage
* (power lever) – load close to fulcrum; effort far from fulcrum
* Small effort can move large load
33
Mechanical disadvantage
* (speed lever) – load far from fulcrum; effort close to fulcrum
* Load moved rapidly over large distance; wide range of motion
34
Classifications of levers
-Three types of levers based on positions of the fulcrum, the effort and load
1. First-class levers
2. second-class levers
3. third class levers
PPW #23
35
1. First-class levers
fulcrum is between the effort and the load
| - example: seesaws
36
2. Second-class levers
the load is between the fulcrum and the effort
| - example: wheelbarrow
37
3. Third-class lever
The effort is between the fulcrum and the load
| - example: pair of forceps
