Lecture 7 Flashcards
Muscle that provides the major force for producing a specific movement
Prime Mover (Agonist)
Muscle that does opposite action of an Agonist
Antagonist
Helpers to the Agonist
Synergists
adds force to a movement and reduces unwanted movements
Muscles that immovilize a bone or muscle’s origin
Fixators (super-agonists)
When fascicles run parallel to the long axis of muscle
Parallel
Spindle-shaped muscles
Fusiform
Short fascicles that attach obliquely to a central tendon running the length of muscle
Pennate
unipennate, bipennate, multipennate
Fascicles converge from broad origin to single tendon
Convergent
Fascicles are arranged in concentric rings
Circular
Sphincters
Pivot point, usually fixed, sometimes a joint
Fulcrum
Bone that pivots
lever
Force applied to a lever
Effort
Resistance moved by the effort
Load
The fulcrum is between the load and the effort
first class
see-saw, scissors
The load is betwen the fulcrum and the effort
second class
head on top of spine, wheelbarrow, standing on tip toes
the effort is applied between the fulcrum and the load
third class
bicep curls
Two parts of the occipitofrontalis muscle
frontalis (anterior)
galea aponeurotica (nuerosis)
occipitalis (posterior)
function of occipitofrontalis
scalp forward and back, raise eyebrows in schock/surprise, wrinkles forhead, smiling, yawning, wiggling ears
11 muscles of face innervated by
Cranial nerve vii, Facial Nerve
blinker, squinter
orbicularis oculi
kissing, whistling
orbicularis oris
elevate upper eyelid
levator palpebrae
muscular cheek, assists whistling, blowing
buccinator
smile
zygomaticus major/minor
prime movers for mastication
temporalis and masseter
grinding movements in chewing
medial and lateral pterygoids
All four major mastication muscles innervated by
trigeminal nerve (V), mandibular branch (V3)
elevate and restract the mandible
temporalis
