lecture 4- muscle structure and scapular control Flashcards
different types of muscle tissue
cardiac, skeletal, smooth
how does a muscle attach to a bone
tendon- deep fascia- skeletal muscle- epimysium-( artery, vein, nerve, perimysium)-fascicle, endomysium, muscle fiber
label a fascicle
label a muscle fiber
first class lever system
flexion in the head and weight on the face, extension on the neck
second class lever system
force is the ground, extension in the calf muscle, lever in the foot (ankle)
third class lever system
force is the elbow (point of rotation), muscle bicep is extending, lever system is the external load
torque
is the force applied x movement arm
skeletal muscle fiber organization
muscle fibers are ordered in fascicles within a muscle but there are only 4 different patterns of fascicle arrangements
circular
parallel
convergent
pennate
fusiform, unipennate, multipennate
actions of skeletal muscles
agonist (mover)-prodcues a specific movement when it contracts. ex. bicep brachii is an agonist that causes flexion of the elbow joint
antagonist
muscle who’s action opposes that of an agonist. the tricep brachii would be antagonist of the bicep brachii
syngerist
is a muscle that assists the agonist or prime mover
isometric contraction
muscle contracts but doe snot shorten. restricting
concentric contraction
tightening, shortening or lengthen during activity
