- convergent muscles
- pennate muscles
- circular muscles
Mechanically each bone is a _______, each joint is a __________.
lever and fulcrum
Muscles provide the ________ _______ required to overcome load.
applied force
a rigid structure that moves when force applied overcomes the load
lever
a fixed point on which lever pivots
fulcrum
What class:
Seasaw or pry bar.
Head bending forward at neck.
F between AF and L
First Class
What class:
wheelbarrow
ankle-moving into plantar flexion.
L is between AF and F
Second Class
What class:
tongs or catapult.
elbow- when doing flexion.
AF is applied between L and F
Third class
What is the most common class in the body?
third class
Where the fixed end of a skeletal muscle attaches. Typically proximal to the insertion in anatomical position
origin
Where the movable end of a skeletal muscle attaches
insertion
the movement produced by a skeletal muscle
action
example of muscle action:
flexion, extension, adduction, abduction
muscles work in groups to __________ efficiency.
maximize
muscle whose contractions is mostly responsible for producing the movement
agonist
examples of agonist
biceps brachii- elbow flexion
muscle that helps larger agonist work efficiently. may provide additional pull or stabilize origin.
synergist
example of synergist
brachioradialis for elbow flexion
synergist that assist by preventing movement at another joint
fixators
muscle whose action opposes a particular agonist.
antagonist
example of antagonist
triceps brachia for elbow flexion
agonist and antagonists work in ______.
pairs
first part of the name will indicate the ______. second part of name includes _______.
origin, insertion
