Chapter 8, Muscular System Flashcards
How many muscles do we have
600-700 (IBRAHIM IF YOU ARE SEEING THIS ALL THE LECTURE ON JOINTS/ETC ARE AFTER THE LISTING OF THE MUSCLES. AND DON’T FORGET THAT SPELLING COUNTS!)
What are the three kinds of muscles?
Skeletal, Smooth, Cardiac
Skeletal muscles provide…
Movement
Muscles in one word…
Movement
Smooth muscles
- Help the digestive system
- Can have 2-3 layers
- Are not connected to bone
Cardiac muscles
Are found only in the heart
Every muscle will have…
An origin and an insertion point
Muscle origin
The immovable end of the muscle
Muscle insertion
The more movable end of the muscle
Prime Mover
AKA: Agonist
Agonist
AKA: Prime mover
Prime Mover
CAUSES an action
Antagonist
Works AGAINST an action
Synergist
CONTRIBUTES to an action by HELPING the agonist
Face
60 Skeletal Muscles
Smile
20 Skeletal Muscles
Frown
40 Skeletal Muscles
What is the SMALLEST muscle in the body
- Stapedius
- found in the ear
- connected to the stapes
How many layers of muscles do we have?
3-4 Layers
What is the LARGEST muscle in the body?
Gluteus Maximus (get off your ass…)
What is the LONGEST muscle in the body?
Sartorius
“Rect”
Straight (NOT RECTUM…get back off your ass…)
What do muscle names reflect?
- Shape
- Length
- Size
- If visible on the body surface
Maximus
Large
Minimus
Small
Externus
Outer
Superficialis
On the surface, shallow
Internus
On the inside
Minor
Small
Major
Large
Deltoid
Triangle
Biceps
Muscle with two heads
Deltoid
Muscles in the shoulder area
Oblique
Muscles on the side
Fascia
- Small
- Layers of dense connective tissue
- Separates an individual muscle and holds it in place
- White
- Blends with epimysium
Epimysium
- Smaller than fascia
* Connective tissue that CLOSELY surrounds the muscle
Perimysium
- Even smaller than epimysium
* Tissue that extends inward from epimysium that separates the muscle into smaller sections called fascicles
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Sorry, cat
Fascicles
Thin covering on the fascicles
Skeletal muscle fiber
- Single cell
- Long and thin
- Cylinder
- Rounded ends
Sarcolemma
Cell membrane
Sarcoplasm
Cytoplasm
Aponeuroses
Broad fibrous sheets of connective tissue
Skeletal Muscle Fiber
- Single cell
- Contracts in response to stimulation
- Relaxes when stimulation ends
