No!
It pulls
What are the four characteristics of muscles?
Generates heat
Movement
Posture
Stability
What is an aponneurosis?
A broad flat tendon
What are the cord-like structures that attach skeletal muscle to bone?
Tendons
What is the more proximal or attached part of a muscle that is immoveable or less moveable on the bone?
Origin
What is the more distal, more moveable attachment of the muscle?
Insertion
What is an isotonic contraction?
The muscle changes in length and moves the load
What is an isometric contraction?
The load is greater then the tension that the muscle is able to develop, the muscle never shortens or lengthens
What are the two subdivisions of an isotonic contraction?
Concentric- shortening when contracting
Eccentric- lengthening when contracting
What type of contraction is it when you pick up a glass?
Concentric
What type of contraction is it when you are lowering a glass?
Eccentric
When you are holding the glass, what kind of contraction is it?
Isometric
What is a Sarcolemma, Sarcoplasm and the sarcoplasmic reticulum?
Sacrolemma- plasma membrane of muscle cells
Sarcoplasm- Cytoplasm of muscle cell
Sarcoplasmic reticulum- The endoplasmic reticulum of muscle cells

What is the difference between a sacrolemma and an endomysium?
