Lecture 11 Flashcards
Define origin
Most stationary, proximal attachment
Insertion
Mobile and usually distal attachment
Muscle cells that are arranged in bundles
Fascicles
What does muscles organisation affect ?
Power
Range
Speed
Muscles movement
The patterns of fascicles organisations and their relationship to the tendon skeletal muscles can be classified as
Parallel
Convergent
Pennate
Circular
Parallel muscles
Fascicles parallel to muscle long axis
Convergent muscles
Fascicles converge at a single tendon
Pennate muscles
Fascicles arise from tendon
3 patterns
Circular muscles
Fascicles in circle around an opening
Most muscles …
Originate and insert onto skeleton
Belly
Between origin and insertion
Joint (muscle wise )
Muscles Usually crosses it
Descriptive names for skeletal muscles
Location in the body
Origin and insertion
Fascicle organisation
Relative position
Structural characteristics
Muscle insertions
-muscles work in groups to maximize efficiency
- Small muscles reach maximum tension first followed by larger primary muscles
Agonist
plays a major role in movement
its the prime mover
