Chapter 9 Lecture Muscle Anatony Flashcards
Functions of the muscular system
1- movement
2- stability/posture
3- guarding entrance and exits of body
4- generating heat “primary metabolic furnace”
5- nutrient reserve?
How are skeletal muscles named?
-origin(head) = muscle connected to something (DOESN’T MOVE)
-INSERTION= connection site that moves
-GENERAL LOCATION=action/motion/function/size/shape/fiber pattern
Oblique means
Longus means
Brevis mean
-oblique-at an angle
-longus- long
-brevis- brief, short
Muscle fiber = is same as ..
Muscle fiber = muscle cell
How do skeletal muscles “pull” on bones
-they must be connected to bone by connective tissue.
Epimysium is
Dense irregular connective tissue
Surrounds entire muscle
Perimysium is
Dense irregular connective tissue
Surrounds muscle fascicle (group or individual muscle fibers)
Endomysium is
Reticular fibers that surround individual muscle cells
Describe the connective tissues that surround a muscle and how a muscle is able to pull a bone.
-connective tissue that surrounds muscle is=epimysium
Muscle pulls a bone by:
-Endomysium pulls on perimysium
-perimysium pulls on epimysium
-epimysium pulls on tendon
-tendon pulls on periosteum
-periosteum pulls on bone
Musculoskeletal levers have 3 parts..
Fulcrum (F) -the turning point
AND
2 forces (f)
Where is the greatest force found?
Closest to the Fulcrum (F)
force exerted by muscle only exists where
Muscle is INSERTED
Class 1
Fulcrum in the middle
-weak or strong
Class 2
Weight in middle
-strong , mechanical advantage
-force of weight-closest to fulcrum
Class 3
Muscle force in middle
-always weak , mechanical disadvantage
