Exam #1 - Muscle & Supporting Structures Flashcards
Only muscles can adapt to both immediate (acute) & repeated long- term (chronic) external forces that can destabilizes the body
- It is coupled to both the external environment & the internal control mechanisms of the nervous system
Skeletal muscle
Non-contractile elements of muscle
Connective tissue “harness” of muscle
The innermost layer that seperate individual muscle fibers & myofibrils
Endomysium
Encases fiber bundles
Perimysium
Enveloping fascial sheath around the entire muscle
Epimysium
The connective tissue framework is the ____ source of muscle’s resistance to ____ elongation
The connective tissue framework is the primary source of muscle’s resistance to passive elongation
What influences a muscles ultimate function?
Muscle shape
What muscle fibers run parallel to one another & to the central tendon
Fusiform muscle
What muscle fibers approach their central tendon obliquely
Pennate muscles
- Refers to the angle of orientation between the muscle fibers & tendon
- Produce greater maximal force than fusiform muscles of similar volume
Pennation Angle
a muscle produces a pulling force while maintaining a
constant length
Isometric
a muscle produces a pulling force as it shortens (contracts)
Concentric
muscle produces a pulling force as it is being elongated by another more dominant force
Eccentric
muscle or muscle group most directly involved in the initiation & execution of movement
Agonist
a muscle that opposes the action of another
Antagonist
muscles that work together to create a movement
Synergist
2 or more muscles on opposing sides of a joint work together to provide joint stability or create movement
Force-Couple
The distance a muscle can shorten after it has been elongated to its maximum
Functional Excursion
In some cases, the functional excursion, or range of a muscle, is ____ influenced by the joint or joints it ____
In some cases, the functional excursion, or range of a muscle, is **directly **influenced by the joint or joints it crosses
- A point in the range of motion where a muscle is shortened at each joint it crosses where it can no longer shorten
- This leads to decreased force production
Active Insufficiency
- A point in the range of motion where a muscle is lengthened at each joint it crosses where it can no longer lengthen
- Leads to decreased joint range of motion & decreased force production
Passive Insufficiency
