Lecture 8: Skeletal Muscles Flashcards
What are the three types of muscle tissue? Briefly explain similarities and differences
- Skeletal Muscle: movement of bones, striated, voluntary\
- Cardiac Muscle: located in the heart only, striated (branching), involuntary
- Smooth Muscle: outside walls of viscera, no striations, involuntary
Elaborate the process on how we move:
Skeletal muscle attaches to bones via tendons and pulls bone along the joint to produce movement.
In the appendicular skeleton what are the attachment points called:
Origin: Attached to the stationary bone
Insertion: Attached to the moveable bone
In the axial skeleton what are the attachment locations called.
Superior attachment: moveable bone
Inferior attachment: less mobile bone
What are the functions of skeletal muscles:
→ Movement
→ Maintain posture
→ Protection
→ Regulation of waste products
→ Heat Production
What is the classification tree for a typical skeletal muscle:
- Myofilaments: actin and myosin
- myofibers: Muscle cells
- Fascicles: Bundles of myofibers
- Skeletal muscle: Group of fascicles.
Identify the connective tissue which surround the myofibers, fascicles, and fascicle bundles respectively.
Endomysium: CT around myofiber
Perimysium: CT around fascicle
Epimysium: CT around fascicle bundles
What are the 2 types of contraction: Name a scenario when this can occur:
Isometric Contraction: Tension = no change in muscle length (holding a baby)
Isotonic Contraction: Tension = change in muscle length (moving a baby up)
→ Concentric- muscle length decreases
→ Eccentric- muscle length increases
What are the three components of the lever system:
Fulcrum: fixed point which lever moves
Load: the force imbalance provided by either some weight or bone to oppose movement
Effort: Force provided by muscle which causes movement
What are the types of levers? Give examples.
First-Class Lever: L-F-E , either advantageous or disadvantageous (head movement)
Second-Class Lever : E-L-F, always advantageous (plantarflexion movement)
Third Class Lever F-E-L, Always disadvantageous (Lifting something with hand)
What are the classification of skeletal muscles?
- Parallel
- Fusiform
- Circular
- Triangular
What are the groupings for muscle coordination: Name one example
Agonist: Prime mover (contraction = movement) triceps brachii
Antagonist: Contraction opposes that of the agonist and allows for smoother movement : biceps brachii
Synergist: assist by contributing tension and stabilizing point of origin
Describe the pennate and classify:
Short fascicles which branch of the main tendon of the skeletal muscle:
Unipennate: Arranged in only one side of the tendon
Bipennate: Arranged on 2 sides of the tendon
Multipennate: Attached to tendon from many different directions
What is the innervation and function of the facial muscles.
Innvervated by the FACIAL NERVE
Function: Moves the skin (not bone) to produce facial expression
COMMON: Orbicularis Oris (mouth),,, Orbicularis oculi (eye),,, Nasalis
What is the innervation and function of the muscles of mastification
- Innervated by the TRIGEMINAL NERVE
- Function: Allow to chew (mastificate)
Identify the muscles and what they are used for
(superior → inferior)
Temporalis
Masseter
Used for mastification
Identify the muscles and what they are used for
(superior → Inferior)
Temporalis
Lateral pterygoid
Medial pterygoid
USED FOR MASTIFICATION
What is the innervation for the muscles of the abdomen and what are their function:
Innervated by thoracic spinal nerve
Function: Flexion of the trunk and support of viscera
Identify the important muscles and what they are used for:
