25
What are the z lines and m lines
Z lines (disks): indicate boundaries of sarcomere M line (protein bands): center of sarcomere
26
how many cross bridges are there?
50 pairs per filament
27
what is the purpose of the SR
stores calcium
28
what is the fucntion of the T tubules?
allow AP to move efficeintly through the muscle
29
be able to label all the elemetns of a sarcomeere
g
30
What does kuscle contraction need
• Motor Neuron • Motor Unit = Gross Functional Unit of the muscle Ø Motor neuron + Muscle fiber * Motor unit is found at the Myoneural junction * Skeletal muscle – “All or none” principle * Smooth muscle – Peristalsys principle
31
Where is the motor unit found
at the myoneural junction
32
true or false: skeletal muscle is a all or non principle
true
33
what principle do smooth muscles have
peristalsis
34
understand tthe myoneural junction
.
35
What are the different muscle fiber shapes
``` LONGITUDINAL (Parallel) • FUSIFORM • UNIPENNATE • BIPENNATE • MULTIPENNATE • RADIATE (Triangular / Convergent) • CIRCULAR ```
36
explain parallel shape and where can you find it
Only one direction of movement | found in rectus abdominus
37
explain fusiform msucle and ex
``` skinny then bulge most muscles (biceps) ```
38
explain the pennate msucles and examples
Unipennate : one dircetion of fiber, flexor pollicis longus Bipennate: 2 directions of fiber out of tenfon, tricep tripennate: 3 directiosn of fiber, deltoid
39
explain circular amd ex
fibers go along a circular motion | eyeball
40
explain triagnular and ex
looks triangular | pec
41
what are the ways we name the muscle
* ACTION * DIRECTION OF FIBERS * LOCATION * SIZE * # OF ORIGINS * SHAPE * ORIGIN / INSERTION
42
What is origin mean
ORIGIN: Proximal end, less mobile bone | •
43
what does insertion mean
INSERTION: Distal end, more mobile bone | •
44
what does muscle belly mean
BELLY (Head): Fleshy or meaty part | •
45
what is an aponeurosis
APONEUROSIS: Broad, flat, tendon
46
explain agonist vs antagonist
* AGONIST (Prime mover): Main action muscle | * ANTAGONIST: Opposing muscle
47
explain synergist
* SYNERGIST: Helps in action of agonist | * SYNERGIST (Fixator): Stabilizes to help agonist
48
explain • Atrophy vs. Hypertrophy
atrophy: loss hypertrohpy: growth
49
what are tendons
extrensions of the msuce belly
50
true or false Epimysium, Perimysium and Endomysium are tendons
TRUE
51
What type of tissue are tendons> and what are they made of
* Dense, regular connective tissue * Parallel bundles of collagenous fibers • May / may not have a synovial sheath
52
what is the fucntion of tendons
• Attaches muscle to bone (at the periosteum)
53
What is the function of a ligament
* Attach bone to bone * Important for joint stability * Joint (fibrous) capsules offer strength / stability * Also offer certain level of flexibility for movement * Attaches to the bone’s periosteum
54
what are ligs made up of
* Dense regular or irregular connective tissue * Mostly parallel fibers * Mainly collagenous fibers * Some elastic fibers
55
what are the 3 types of exercise
isometric isotonic isokinetic
56
explain isometric exercise
tension is developed but no mechanical work is performed. Shortening or lengthening is prevented where there is no observable joint or functional movement FIXED RANGE/STATIC
57
explain isotonic execise
equal tension on the muscle is maintained while the length of the muscle is decreased during performance. The exercise is performed with a fixed resistance at variable speeds. This is called Progressive Resistive Exercise (PRE). THOROUGH RANGE, DYNAMIC, DIFF SPEED
58
explain isokinetic exercise
Isokinetic means constant speed. Isokinetic training provides an accommodating resistance that allows to maximally load dynamically contracting muscles at each point of a joint’s ROM, thus enabling to do more work than is possible with either constant of variable resistance. (Kuland)
59
what are the two types of contraction
concerntration | eccentric
60
explain concentric contraction
Concentric is the most common type of muscle contraction. It occurs when the muscle shortens as it develops tension.
61
explain eccentric contraction
Eccentric is where the muscle is lengthening in a constant state of tension. While lowering a weight, the muscle gives in to the resistance of the weight by stretching. An eccentric contraction can bring about a braking action.
62
WHERE IS muscle spindle located and what is its fucntion
located in the belly | prevrents overstretching by reacting contracting immeditely
63
WHERE are golgi tendon organs located
located in tendonous junction | are able to sense that tension is prolongued and controlled so they instruct the muscle spindles to stop contraction
64
how long until golgi tendons are initiated
6-10 secs
