18
Q

How many muscle fibres does one motor neuron innervate?

A

One motor neuron can innervate several fibres

19
Q

How many neurons can innervate a single fibre

A

Only one neuron innervates a single fibre

20
Q

Muscle Hypertrophy causes

A

Enlargement of muscle
Increase mitochondria
Increase activity of muscle spindles
Increase concentration of glycolytic enzymes
Increase glycogen reserves

21
Q

Muscle Atrophy causes

A

Decreases muscle mass
Decreases muscle tone

Physical Therapy reduces effects of muscle atrophy

22
Q

Parallel Muscle Fibers

A

Arm, abdomen

Long muscle with a central portion (belly)
Fascicles pull in same direction

Contraction: Muscle gets shorter belly gets wider

23
Q

Convergent Muscle Fibers

A

Chest, Shoulder

Fan shape, span a wide area, but, originate from the same base
Fascicules in same direction

24
Q

Pennate Muscle Fibers

A

Feather Stem shape

Contain more muscle fiber than parallel muscles, generate more force

25
Q

Unipennate Muscle Fibers

A

Forearm

Muscle Fibres on one side

26
Q

Bipennate Muscle Fibers

A

Thigh

Muscle fibers on both sides

27
Q

Multipennate Muscle Fibers

A

Shoulder

Branches within the muscle

28
Q

Circular Muscle Fibers

A

Eye

Fibres arranged around an opening
Forms sphincters

29
Q

Axial

A

Head and Vertebral Column
Rib Cage and Pelvic Floor

30
Q

Appendicular

A

Pectoral Girdle and Upper Limb
Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limb

Absorbs shocks as you walk

31
Q

Diaphragm (Inhale)

A

Contracts –> Lowers –> Increase Volume

32
Q

Diaphragm (Exhale)

A

Relax –> Rise –> Decrease Volume

33
Q

Pregenital Triangle

A

Anterior Triangle

34
Q

Anal Triangle

A

Posterior Triangle

35
Q

Pelvic Diaphragm

A

Foundation of Pelvic Floor

36
Q

Superficial Transverse Perineal Muscle

A

Separates Urogenital and Anal Trigangle

37
Q

Extrinsic Muscles (Hand)

A

Forearm

38
Q

Intrinsic Muscles (Hand)

A

Palm or Dorsum of hand

39
Q

Accessory Structure: Tendon Sheaths includes what structures

A

9 Flexor Muscle Tendons
&
Median Nerve

40
Q

Flexor Tendon Overuse

A

Repetitive motion of flexor tendons can irritate the sheath coverings
–> Swelling of median nerve in carpal tunnel

41
Q

Flexor Retinaculum

A

Forms roof of carpal tunnel

42
Q

Extrinsic Muscles (Foot)

A

Originate at:
- Distal Femur
- Tibia
- Fibula

Moves the foot and toes

43
Q

Intrinsic Muscles (Foot)

A

Originate at Foot

Moves the toes
