is the point at which it attaches to a bone (usually) or another muscle. The structure that the _____ is attached to USUALLY is not moved by the contraction of the muscle. Usually at the proximal non-mobile attachment of the muscle

23
Q

is the point at which a muscle attaches to the skin, a bone, or another muscle. The insertion attaches to the structure that will be moved by contraction of the muscle - more distal (further down), more mobile where it creates movement

A

insertion of the muscle

24
Q

A ________ is a connective tissue structure that connects bone to bone

A

ligament
- classified based on their anatomical relationship to the joint capsule

25
Q

Ligaments participate in the _________ of joints and can limit certain movements within the joint

A

stabilization

26
Q

The mid-region in between the origin and insertion. What determines the direction of pull is the FIBRE DIRECTION of the _______. What you try to grow bigger

A

muscle belly

27
Q

the muscle contracts produces force, but no gross movement of the muscle occurs (stability)

A

isometric

28
Q

example of isometric action

A

posture - sit upright due to postural muscles doing isometric
contractions- clenching
- PLANK

29
Q

the muscle shortens while contracting, producing acceleration of body segments.

A

concentric

30
Q

example of concentric action

A

bicep curl

31
Q

The muscle lengthens while contracting. ________ decelerate body segments and provide shock absorption, such as when landing from a jump.

A

eccentric

32
Q

Principle muscle producing a joint motion or maintaining a posture. Always contracts actively to produce a concentric, isometric, or eccentric contraction

A

agonist (prime mover)

33
Q

Is the muscle that has the opposite anatomic action of the agonist. Usually is a muscle that neither assists nor resists but that passively elongates or shortens to permit the motion to occur

A

antagonist

34
Q

The muscle contracts at the same time as the agonist. The action may be identical or nearly identical to the agonists. helps the agonist do its job

A

synergist

35
Q

Muscles that are active isometrically to keep a limb from moving when the agonist muscle contracts. prevent access movement from happening

A

stabilizer, fixator, supporter

36
Q

is a cord of dense connective tissue that attaches a muscle to the bone, to the skin or to another muscle

A

a tendon

37
Q

Tube-like structure made by connective tissue wrap around tendons of the muscles at the wrist and ankle where many tendons come together in a confined space. Encase the tendon in synovial fluid to reduce friction as the tendon creates movement

A

tendon sheath

38
Q

loose connective tissue, under skin, protective coating or structure/layer over a broad anatomical region ex. Palm of hand, top of hand

A

fascia

39
Q

is loose connective tissue & fat underlying the skin. It is homologous to hypodermis in the skin. It contains the _______ veins and sensory nerves.

A

superficial fascia

40
Q

Dense irregular connective tissue under the superficial fascia that wraps the body. It is well-defined in limbs
- between muscular layers

A

deep fascia

41
Q

is an enclosed, cable-like bundle of dendrites or axons

A

nerve

42
Q

are nerves that receive sensory stimuli, such as how something feels and if it is painful

A

sensory nerves

43
Q

allow the brain to stimulate muscle contraction. A ______ is exclusively contains the axons of the neurons which innervate skeletal muscles or glands

A

motor nerves

44
Q

generally refers to the mixed sensory and motor spinal nerves, which come out of the _______. They innervate most of the skeletal muscles in our body

A

spinal nerve

45
Q

are nerves that emerge directly from the brain. They contain sensory and motor nerve fibers and innervates some of the head and neck muscles

A

cranial nerves

46
Q

Synarthrosis

A

little to no movement

47
Q

Amphiarthrosis

A

some movement

48
Q

Diarthrosis

A

freely moveable

49
Q

Type of Fibrous joint: Suture

A

Found between the bones of the skull, no movements is produced, known as synarthrodial joint (i.e. between the bones of the cranium)

50
Q

Type of Fibrous Joint: Syndesmosis

A

2 bones are connected by a fibrous connective tissue, some movements will be found, known as amphiarthrodial joints (i.e. between the ulna and radius or fibula and tibia)

51
Q

Type of Fibrous Joint: Gomphosis

A

The joint between a tooth and it’s socket (alveolus), no movement, known as a synarthrodial joint.

52
Q

Type of Cartilaginous Joint: Synchondrosis

A

This is a Primary Cartilaginous Joint because the bones are connected by hyaline cartilage, is often a temporary joint (because with age will usually ossify, but not always) located in the metaphyseal area (i.e. epiphyseal growth plate)

53
Q

Type of Cartilaginous Joint: Symphysis

A

This is a Secondary Cartilaginous Joint because the bones are joined by fibrocartilage, strong slightly movable joints, known as amphiarthrodial joints (i.e. IVD between the vertebrae)

54
Q

How are skeletal muscles’ names

A

The most important characteristics include the direction in which the muscle fibers run, the size, shape, action, numbers of origins, and location of the muscle, and the sites of origin and insertion of the muscle

55
Q

Aponeuroses

A

Aponeuroses are flat sheets of connective tissue in your body that are similar to tendons
