Musclar System Flashcards
Types of muscle tissues
Skeletal
Smooth
Cardiac
Voluntary
Striated
Attached by tendons
Comprised 30-40% of body eight
Skeletal
Involuntary
Non-striated
Surrounds the body’s internal organs
Smooth
Involuntary
Striated
Cardiac only in heart
Properties of muscle cells
Irritability Contractibility Elasticity Extensibility Conductivity
Ability to respond to stimulus
Irritability
Ability to shorten in length
Contractability
Ability to stretch and return
Elasticity
Ability of a muscle to stretch
Extensibility
Ability to transmit nerve impulses
Conductivity
Types of contractions
Isotonic
Isometric
Isokinetic
Controlled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) of the muscle Ex bicep curl
Isotonic
Isotonic
Controlled shortening (concentric) and lengthening (eccentric) of the muscle Ex bicep curl
Constant length throughout contraction with no motion
Ex
Plank
Isometric

Plank
Isokinetic
Uses machines to control the speed within the range of a muscles motion, force is constant throughout the range of motion
