chapter 11 muscular Flashcards
Fascicles are parallel to long axis of muscle
Some are flat
Cylindrical muscles have a central body (belly)
Example: biceps brachii
Tension developed during a contraction depends on total number of myofibrils
what type of muscles fiber is this?
Parallel
Muscle fibers spread out like a fan and converge on an attachment site
Example: pectoralis muscles
Muscle may pull on
Tendon
Aponeurosis
Raphe (slender band of collagen fibers)
Fibers pull in different directions, depending on activity
what type of muscles fiber is this?
convergent muscles
Muscle fibers pull at an angle relative to tendon
Compared to parallel muscles, pennate muscles
Do not move their tendons as far
Contain more myofibrils
Develop more tension
what type is this muscle ?
Pennate muscles
All fascicles on same side of tendon
Example: extensor digitorum
which pennate is this one?
Unipennate
Fascicles on both sides of a central tendon
Example: rectus femoris
which pennate is this one?
Bipennate
Tendon branches within muscle
Example: deltoid
which pennate is this one ?
Multipennate
Fixed point of attachment of a muscle to bone is the
origin
Movable point of attachment is the
Insertion
Mostly responsible for producing a particular movement
Agonist (prime mover)
Opposes movement of a particular agonist is the
antagonist
A smaller muscle that assists a larger agonist is the
Syngerist
A synergist that assists an agonist by preventing movement at another joint
what is the term?
Fixator
how can levers change?
Direction of applied force (AF)
Distance and speed produced by AF
Effective strength of AF
Act as valves in digestive and urinary tracts
Surround body openings and hollow organs
Contraction makes diameter of opening smaller
Example: orbicularis oris of the mouth
which muscles is this ?
Circular Muscles
