M2: Musculoskeletal System Flashcards
Origin of Sternocleidomastoid
Sternum and Clavicle
how many heads does triceps have
three<br></br>
○ connective tissue membrane covering the outer surface
of a bone
○ Outer - blood vessels and nerves | Inner - single layer of
bone cells (Osteoblasts & Osteocytes)
Periosteum
○ Dark band
○ Contains MYOSIN and ACTIN filaments
A BAND
small
minimus
muscle shortening
Concentric
Small, flattened surface
Facet
muscle cell plasma membrane
SARCOLEMMA
muscle cell membrane in the area of the junction
Motor End Plate / Postsynaptic Membrane
Tunnel
Meatus
Hyaline cartilage covering ends of bones
Articular Cartilage
amount of tension produced by the muscle is constant during
contraction, but the length of the muscle changes.
Isotonic
group of muscles working
together to produce a movement
Synergists
how many heads does triceps have
three
round
teres
thin filaments
ACTIN
barbs on a feather
from a common
tendon that runs the
length of the entire
muscle
Pennate
○ muscles that hold one bone in place
relative to the body while a usually more
distal bone is moved
Fixator
Hollow center of the bone
Medullary Cavity
○ consists of a group of enlarged axon terminals that
rests on a portion of the sarcolemma
○ Composed of:
■ axon terminals
■ area of the muscle fiber sarcolemma they
innervate
Neuromuscular Junction / Synapse
● Framework that helps maintain the body’s shape and
enables us to move normally.
● Composed of bones, cartilage, and ligaments.
SKELETAL SYSTEM
Insertion of Brachioradialis
radius
how many heads does biceps have
two
○ Found on the axon
○ Synaptic vesicles contain Acetylcholine
Presynaptic Terminal
■ stationary anchor for actin myofilaments
○ Relaxed mm → covers the attachment sites on actin (uncovering these are required for mm contraction)
