A

Ellipsoidal and saddle

24
Q

Triaxial joint types

A

Gliding and ball and socket

25
Q

Components of the muscular system

A

Skeletal muscles, related fascia and tendons.

26
Q

Myofilaments

A

Actin and myosin

27
Q

Myofibril

A

Bundle of myofilaments

28
Q

Muscle fiber

A

Actual muscle cell, covered by endomysium.

29
Q

Fascicle

A

A group of muscle fibers covered by perimysium.

30
Q

Muscle

A

A group of fascicles covered by epimysium.

31
Q

T-tubules

A

Channels within the sarcolemma which help to spread nerve impulses.

32
Q

Sarcoplasmic reticulum

A

Organelle that stores and releases calcium ions.

33
Q

Troponin and tropomyosin

A

Proteins that block the attachment sites on actin. Offset by calcium.

34
Q

Properties of muscle cells

A

Excitability, contractibility, extensibility and elasticity

35
Q

Motor unit

A

A single motor neuron and all of the muscle fibers to which it attaches.

36
Q

Acetylcholine

A

Neurotransmitter involved in muscular contraction. Crosses the synaptic cleft and binds with the motor end plate.

37
Q

Motor end plate

A

Folded sections of the sarcolemma which has receptors for acetylcholine.

38
Q

Uniarticular muscle

A

A muscle that crosses one joint.

39
Q

Biarticular muscle

A

A muscle that crosses two joints.

40
Q

Multiarticular muscle

A

A muscle that crosses three or more joints.

41
Q

Concentric contraction

A

Isotonic contraction in which the muscle lengthens.

42
Q

Eccentric contraction

A

Isotonic contraction in which the muscle shortens.

43
Q

Proprioceptors which detect muscle stretch

A

Muscle spindles and golgi tendons

44
Q

Muscle spindles

A

Detect fast ballistic stretching. Indicates danger and initiates contraction.

45
Q

Golgi tendon

A

Detests slow, static tension and stimulates relaxation.

46
Q

Atrophy

A

Loss of muscle mass

47
Q

Causes of atrophy

A

Lack of use, poor nutrition or inadequate innervation

48
Q

Contracture

A

Joint condition in which the muscle is fixed in a flexed contraction.

49
Q

Muscle spasm

A

Increase in muscle tension, with or without shortening that results in a rigid zone.

50
Q

Spasticity

A

Increased muscle tone and stiffness which resists stretching. Usually caused by neurologic dysfunction.

51
Q

Types of parallel muscle fiber arrangements

A

Strap, convergent (triangular), fusiform, circular.

52
Q

Types of non-parallel muscle fiber arrangements

A

Unipennate and bipennate
