Lab 4: Myology - Pectoral Area and Superficial & Deep Neck Flashcards
define muscle fascicle
group of muscle cells/fibers that are grouped together within a connective tissue sheath called the perimysium
describe parallel fascicles
fascicles are parallel to the longitudinal axis and terminate in flat tendons
example of parallel fascicle muscle
sternohyoid
describe fusiform fascicles
fascicles are nearly parallel to the longitudinal axis with a belly that narrows toward the tendons
example of fusiform fascicle muscle
biceps brachii
describe circular fascicles
fascicles are arranged concentrically
example of circular fascicle muscle
orbicularis oculi
describe triangular fascicles
fascicles converge from a broad origin to a narrow insertion
example of triangular fascicle muscle
trapezius
describe unipennate fascicles
fascicles all attach to the same side of a tendon
example of unipennate fascicle muscle
extensor digitorum longus
describe bipennate fascicles
fascicles attach on both sides of a central tendon
example of bipennate fascicle muscle
rectus femoris
describe multipennate fascicles
fascicles attach obliquely to tendons in various direction
example of multipennate fascicle muscle
deltoid
define tendons
connect muscle to bone
define ligaments
connect bone to bone
what happens when one bone moves
another bone remains fixed
define origin of muscle
- where a muscle attaches
- the less moveable attachment
- proximal end
define insertion of muscle
- where a muscle attaches
- the more moveable attachment
- distal end
define sarcomere
- functional/atomic unit of striated muscle that contracts
- composed of protein filaments (myofilaments)
what muscles are in this muscle group: abdominal wall
- obliques (external and internal)
- transverse abdominis
- rectus abdominis
AOI of obliques (external and internal)
- action: compression of abdomen; flexion and rotation of trunk
- origin: ribs (external); iliac crest (internal)
- insertion: iliac crest (external); ribs (internal)
describe the difference between the origin and insertion of external and internal obliques
- external obliques: origin is ribs, insertion is iliac crest
- internal obliques: origin is iliac crest, insertion is ribs
human OR human and cat: obliques (external and internal)
both
AOI of transverse abdominis
- action: compression of abdomen
- origin: ribs and iliac crest
- insertion: linea alba
human OR human and cat: transverse abdominis
human
AOI of rectus abdominis
- action: flexion of trunk, compression of abdominal wall
- origin: pubic crest
- insertion: xiphoid process and ribs (5-7)
human OR human and cat: rectus abdominis
both
what muscles are in this muscle group: breathing muscles
- intercostals (external and internal)
- diaphragm
AOI of intercostals (external and internal)
- action: elevation and depression of ribs
- origin: superior border of ribs (external); inferior border of ribs (internal)
- insertion: inferior border of ribs (external); superior border of ribs (internal)
describe the difference between the origin and insertion of external and internal intercostals
- external: origin is superior border or ribs, insertion is inferior border of ribs
- internal: origin is inferior border of ribs, insertion is superior border of ribs
human OR human and cat: intercostals (external and internal)
both
AOI of diaphragm
- action: opens thoracic cavity for lungs during inspiration
- origin: ribs (5-10) and lumbar vertebrae
- insertion: central tendon
