Exam 3 theory Flashcards
A place where the fixed end attaches to a bone, cartilage, or connective tissue (typically stationary, where the muscle begins)
origin
site where the movable end attaches to another structure (typically movable, where muscles ends)
insertion
skeletal muscles are named by
muscle location
muscle shape
muscle size
muscle location
bone or body region
muscle shape
deltoid= triangle
muscle size
maximus= largest
brevis= short
the direction in which muscle fibers run in reference to an imaginary line, usually the midline of the body or the longitudinal axis of limbs.
Direction of Fibers
Number of Origins: example,
biceps brachii has two origins
when named by attachment sites e.g., points of origins and insertions, origins are always written first; example: sternocleidomastoid
Location of the Attachments
named for the movement they produce; example: adductor, flexor, extensor
Muscle Action
deals with the structures of the body that are visible to the naked eye
gross anatomy
layer of dense irregular connective tissue(does not show specific pattern)
epimysium
Each ____ has ___ concentric layers or wrapping of connective tissue.
skeletal muscle, 3
divides the muscles into internal compartments
perimysium
___surrounds each skeletal muscle
Endomysium
what makes up a muscle and attach muscles to bone, cartilage, and skin or another muscle.
epimysium
perimysium
endomysium
tendons that form thick, flattened fiber
aponeuroses
fibrous connective tissue that attaches muscle to bone
tendons
Formation of structure skeletal muscle fiber are
myoblast
muscle cell
skeletal muscle cell
stiated
Myoblast
give rise to muscle cell
muscle cells are the
longest cell
skeletal muscle cells are
multnucliated
stiated
External appearance and muscle view
multinucliated
stiated
sarcolemma
muscle plasma membrane
sarcoplasm
muscle plasma or cytoplasm
made up of 2 terminal cisterna (1 T tubule)
Triad
