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
Unipennate Muscle Fibers
Forearm Muscle Fibres on one side
26
Bipennate Muscle Fibers
Thigh Muscle fibers on both sides
27
Multipennate Muscle Fibers
Shoulder Branches within the muscle
28
Circular Muscle Fibers
Eye Fibres arranged around an opening Forms sphincters
29
Axial
Head and Vertebral Column Rib Cage and Pelvic Floor
30
Appendicular
Pectoral Girdle and Upper Limb Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limb Absorbs shocks as you walk
31
Diaphragm (Inhale)
Contracts --> Lowers --> Increase Volume
32
Diaphragm (Exhale)
Relax --> Rise --> Decrease Volume
33
Pregenital Triangle
Anterior Triangle
34
Anal Triangle
Posterior Triangle
35
Pelvic Diaphragm
Foundation of Pelvic Floor
36
Superficial Transverse Perineal Muscle
Separates Urogenital and Anal Trigangle
37
Extrinsic Muscles (Hand)
Forearm
38
Intrinsic Muscles (Hand)
Palm or Dorsum of hand
39
Accessory Structure: Tendon Sheaths includes what structures
9 Flexor Muscle Tendons & Median Nerve
40
Flexor Tendon Overuse
Repetitive motion of flexor tendons can irritate the sheath coverings --> Swelling of median nerve in carpal tunnel
41
Flexor Retinaculum
Forms roof of carpal tunnel
42
Extrinsic Muscles (Foot)
Originate at: - Distal Femur - Tibia - Fibula Moves the foot and toes
43
Intrinsic Muscles (Foot)
Originate at Foot Moves the toes
