What do muscles must have
2 attachments and 1 joint
How do muscles get shorter
By pulling
The attachment that is stationary is called
Origin
The attachment that moves it called
Insertion
Decreasing the angle is from
Flexing
Increasing the angle is from
Extending
What do muscle striations point toward?
Toward the attachment and show the direction of pull
What is the action called when; a movement away from the midline
Abduction
What is the movement called when you bend the foot in the direction of the ground
Plantar flexion
What do you call it when you move a bone around its own access, with no other movement
Rotation
Movement at a joint such as the knee or elbow, that increases the angle between the bones of the limb and the joint
Extension
A movement in which the distal end of the bone moves in a circular, while the proximal end remains relatively stable
Circumduction
A movement that decreases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint
