Muscle Flashcards
three muscle types
- cardiac muscle
- skeletal muscle
- smooth muscle
skeletal muscle is covered by a connective tissue called
fascia
thin covering of the muscle
aponeurosis
collection of muscle bundle
fascicle
single layer of fiber
muscle fiber
covers the bone
periosteum
muscle to bone
tendon
thin, elongated cylinder with rounded ends cell membrane called
sarcolemma
cytoplasm of muscle
sarcoplasm
actin “thin filament” and myosin “thick filament”
myofilament
muscle is used to
- stabilize joint
- provides insulation
- movement
- posture
- support soft tissue
- guarding of entrance & exit
storing and moving substances (esophageal, anal, pyloric, cardiac, urinary)
sphincter
for as excite muscle, it is need to supply enough potassium
excitability
three physiologic needs of muscle for it to be excited
potassium, viagra, and calcium
play fundamental role in contraction
myofibrils
neurotransmitter for contraction of muscle
acetylcholine
for relaxation
dopamine
low oxygen anaerobic - pulikat or cause pain
ischemia
minimal stimuli needed to cause contraction
threshold stimulus
immovable end
origin
movable end
insertion
provides most movement (contracts)
prime mover
assists prime mover
synergist
relaxes (opposite movement)
antagonist
major
malaki
minor
maliit
removal of breast
mastectomy
muscle of the buttocks
gluteus maximus
fusiform shape
deltoid
located in sternum
sternocleidomastoid
size terms
- major
- vastus (leg)
- Maximus (larger or greater)
- medius (small)
