Q

orgin

A

closest to midline

21
Q

insertion

A

further from midline

22
Q

3 roles of muscles

A

cause, control, prevent movement

23
Q

isometric contraction

A

tension is developed within muscle but joint angles remain constant
static contractions

24
Q

isotonic contraction

A

involve muscle developing tension to either cause or control joint movement
dynamic contractions
the varying degrees of tension in muscles result in joint angles changing
Isotonic contractions are either concentric or eccentric

25
Q

Concentric contraction

A

causing movements
involve muscle developing tension as it shortens

26
Q

Ecentric

A

controls movement
Eccentric contractions involve the muscle lengthening under tension

27
Q

Agonist muscles

A

cause joint motion through a plane when contracting concentrically

28
Q

atagonist

A

on opposite side of joint from agonist
have the opposite concentric action from agonists
work with agonist muscles by relaxing & allowing movement

29
Q

Stabilizers

A

contract to stabilize the area to enable another limb or body segment to exert force & move

30
Q

Synergist

A

assist in action of agonists
not necessarily prime movers for the action
known as guiding muscles

31
Q

how many muscles do we have

A

six. 4 i one plane 2 in the transverse plane

32
Q

shoulder girdle movements

A

elevation, depression, protract, retract, upward rotation, downward rotation

33
Q

types of contraction

A

isotonic, isometric

34
Q

protracters and retractors what plane?

A

transverse plane

35
Q

upward and downward rotation what plane?

A

frontal plane

36
Q

Two primary roles of SG Joints?

A

Contract to maintain scapula in a relatively static position (stabilize base) during shoulder joint actions

Contract to move SG & when shoulder joint goes through extreme ranges of motion

37

Elevation, downward rotation, upper rotation
