LB 3-11 Flashcards
Muscles that have both their origins and insertions on parts of the axial skeleton
Axial muscles
Muscles that control the movements of the upper and lower limbs, and stabilize and control the movements of the pectoral and pelvic girdles
Appendicular muscles
The less moveable attachment of a muscle
origin
The more moveable attachment of the muscle
insertion
In muscle movement, the ________ is pulled toward the _______
insertion, origin
What are the four patterns of fascicle arrangement
circular, parallel, convergent, and pennate
Muscle that has concentrically arranged fibers around an opening or recess
circular muscle
The fascicles in a _______ muscle run parallel to its long axis
parallel
What type of movement are circular muscles responsible for
decreasing passageway diameter
Another name for circular muscle
sphincter
Obicularis oris is an example of _______ muscle
circular muscle
What type of movement are parallel muscles responsible for
muscle increases in diameter when contracted, high endurance but not strong.
Rectus Abdonimus and biceps brachii are examples of _______ muscle
parallel muscles.
A ________ muscle has widespread muscle fibers over a broad area that converge on a common attachment site
convergent muscle
What type of movement are convergent muscles responsible for
various directions and intensities of pull.
An example of convergent muscles is the
pectoralis major of the chest
________ muscle fascicles exhibit the same angle with respect to their tendon—that is, they resemble a large feather
Pennate muscles
What type of movement are pennate muscles responsible for
pulling at an angle to the tendon
What are the three types of pennate muscles
unipennate, bipennate, multipennate
Type of pennate muscle in which all of the muscle fibers are on the same side of the tendon
unipennate muscle
The extensor digitorum, a long muscle that extends the fingers, is an example of a _________ muscle
unipennate
The most common type of pennate muscle, has muscle fibers on both sides of the tendon
bipennate muscle
The interosseous muscles on both the palmar and dorsal sides of the metacarpals that help adduct and abduct the digits are composed of ______ muscles
bipennate
Type of muscle that has branches of the tendon within the muscle
multipennate muscle.
