Exam 2 Flashcards
chapter 10
muscle pull never
push
do muscles lengthen
no they shorten with contraction
muscle anchors to bone=
at least 2 points of attachment
fixed end, usually most stationary/ proximal end of muscle
origin
more movable end, usually distal end of muscle
insertion
with contraction muscles shorten, insertion end moves towards
origin end
can action be counteracted by another group and is so what
typically on opposite portion of limb or trunk
muscles fall into different categories depending on movement of the
movement
prime movers, major force for movement. flexion action
agonists
example of an agonist
biceps brachii
oppose movement, counteracts agonist. extension. prevent hyperextension
antogonist
example of antagonists
triceps brachi
aid agonists in promoting same movement. reducing undesireable/ unnessary movements
syngergists
two examples of synergists
brachialis and brachioradialis
helps maintain upright posture, stabilizers. stabilizes origin area while insertion is moving
fixator muscles
Fascicles in circle around opening, Act as Sphincters to close
circular
example of circular muscle shape
orbicularis oculi
Fascicles converge, Wide area - Common tendon. Triangular shape.
convergent
example of convergent muscle shape
pectoralis major
fasiciles feathered to long axis. largest ROM
parallel
example of parallel muscle shape
rectus abdominus
fasicicles feathered from common tendon
pennate
3 classes of pennate
uni and multipennate, bipennate
1 side of tendon (semimembraneous)
unipennate
2 sides (rectus femoris)
bipennate
multiple directions around central tendon (deltoid)
multipennate
fascicles run length of muscle, wide belly with tapered ends
fusiform
example of fusiform muscle shape
biceps brachii
Rigid bar that moves on fixed point (Fulcrum) when a Force (Effort) is applied to it
Used to move a Resistance or LOAD. Moves xs weight OR Moves it Farther, Faster.
lever
fulcrum is the
joint
bones=
lever
effort/ force/ pull=
muscle contraction
bones and associated structure
load
mechanical advantage lever
e-f-l
slower but more stable
strength is priority
mechanical disadvantage lever
f-e-l
more common in the bidy
what movers large load over small distance
and
has small amount of effort
mechanical advantage lever
what acts as a power lever
ex jack for car
mechanical advantage lever
moved load quickly over large distance
great amount of effort
mechanical disadvantage lever
what acts as a speed lever
ex shovel, throw a baseball
mechanical disadvantage lever
3 lever classes
1st, 2nd, 3rd
1st class order
L-F-E
advantage of first class lever
strength
2nd class lever order
F-L-E
advantage of 2nd class lever
strength
