CHAPTER 10 Flashcards
Name all muscle functions
movement, stability, control of openings, heat production, glycemic control
describe movement
move body parts, tongue, writing
describe stability
prevents us from falling over, from tension on joints
describe control of openings and passageways
sphincters, rings that control movement of food, blood etc
describe heat production by skeletal muscles
85% of our body heat
describe glycemic control
stores glucose and release when needing it
name three muscle tissues- what’s its purpose
skeletal, smooth, cardiac
-turns ATP energy into motion
myology
study of muscular system
what are the four tissue layers and their function
-epimysium- outer layer whole muscle
-perimysium- around each fascicle (bundle of muscle fibre)
-endomysium- around each fiber
-muscle fiber- around each muscle cell
triangular muscle shape
triangle shape
whats a fascia
seperates muscles from other muscles
circular muscle shape
ring
fusiform muscle shape
thick in middle tapered at end
muscle compartment syndrome
-buildup of blood and tissue due to trauma causing bruising
-untreated=nerves dying, pressure
parallel muscle shape
parallel width
