muscle tissue and muscles Flashcards
types of muscle activity (3)
motor actions (movement of skeletal sys) contractions of the heart and vessels actions in the intestines
Types of contraction (2)
isometric
isotonic
define isometric
length of muscle does not change
define isotonic
length of muscle does change
muscle gets shorter
concentric
muscle gets longer
eccentric
names of muscles: shape (2)
deltoid
trapezius
names of muscles: origin-insertion (2)
coracobrachialis
sternocleidomastoid
names of muscles: function (2)
pronator teres
extensor digitorum
names of muscles: relative size (2)
adductor magnus adductor brevis (thight)
names of muscles: fiber arrangement (2)
rectus abdominis
rectus cervicus
names of muscles: location (2)
pectoralis latissimus dorsi (wide back)
fiber arrangement: rectus abdominis
straight
fiber arrangement: biceps brachii
fusiform
fiber arrangement: palmar interosseous muscles
unipennate
fiber arrangement: dorsal interosseous muscles
bipennate
fiber arrangement: deltoid muscle
multipennate
agonist
muscle doing the desired action
antagonist
muscle that opposes the agonist
synergist
muscle that eliminates unwanted action by the agonist
fixator
muscle that stabilizes base of attachment of agonist
unijoint
muscle that crosses only one joint
multi-joint
muscle that crosses more than one joint
insufficiency
inability of a multi-joint muscle to contract maximally over all joints crossed simultaneously
agonist muscles are classified as
prime movers and assistant movers
when a muscle acts as a stabilizer, it usually contracts…
isometrically
a pure NEUTRALIZER…
will cause the opposite motion of the prime mover without assisting in the movement
MULTI-JOINT muscles do not allow…
complete range of motion in all joints at one time
