Q

Muscle Tissue

A

is a primary tissue type specialized for movement

  • movement of body, maintain stability (posture)
  • soft tissue support
  • guard body openings
  • thermoregulation

Q

5 classifications of muscles:

A

parallel muscles have fascicles parallel to long axis of the muscle

  • biceps brachii and rectus abdominis

convergent muscles are broad at origin and taper to a narrow insertion

  • pectoralis major

pennate muscles have fascicles insert obliquely on a tendon; develop more tension than parallel muscles

  • unipennate, bipennate or multipennate
  • extensor digitorum, rectus femoris and deltoid

circular muscles (sphincter) “ring” around a body opening

  • orbicularis oculi, pyloric valve and anal sphincters

Q

Leverst

A

Levers are rigid objects that rotates around a fixed point called a fulcrum

  • provides mechanical advantage when effort overcomes resistance
  • mechanical advantage increases output of force (power) or move objects faster (speed)
  • bones are levers, joints are fulcrums, and muscle is effort

Q

Three kinds of levers:

A

first-class - fulcrum lies between applied force (AF) and the load (L)

  • output and speed usually in balance

second-class - load (L) is between applied force (AF) and fulcrum

  • more output but less speed

third-class - applied force (AF) is between load (L) and fulcrum

  • less output but more speed

Q

Muscles have 1 fixed point of attachment (origin) and 1 moving point of attachment (insertion)

Q

3 types of coordinated muscle actions:

A

-prime mover (agonist) produces most of force
