Lecture #2 Flashcards
What are 2 types of muscle fiber types?
- Parallel
- Pennate
What are the 5 categories of parallel muscles?
- Flat
- Fusiform
- Strap
- Radiate
- Circular
What is a Flat muscle type?
Usually thin and broad
EX: Rectus abdominus
What is a fusiform muscle type and EX?
Spindle shaped
EX: Biceps brachii
What is a strap muscle type and EX?
Long parallel manor
EX: Sartorius
What is a radiate muscle type and EX?
Triangular and fan-shaped
EX: Trapezius
What is a circular muscle and EX?
Endless strap muscle
EX: Orbicularis (surrounding of the mouth)
What are pennate muscles?
Have short fibers, increased power
What are the 3 categories of pennate muscles?
- Unipennate
- Bipennate
- Multipennate
What is a multipennate muscle and EX?
Have several tendons with fibers running diagonally between them
EX: Deltoid
What is an intrinsic muscle?
Small muscles found within a body part
EX: in the hand
What is a extrinsic muscle?
Outside muscles which are long ones
What is innervation?
It is the name of a nerve that supplies a muscle
What is the Origin?
It is the proximal attachment site that is the least movable part
What is the insertion?
The distal attachment site that is the most movable
What is a isometric contraction?
Where the muscle contracts but there is no movement at the joint
EX: Pushing on a wall
What is isotonic contraction?
A contraction where the joint moves and it can either be concentric or eccentric
What is concentric contraction?
Where the muscle shortens
EX: Elbow flexion
What is eccentric contraction?
When the muscle lengthens
EX: Elbow extension
