muscles Flashcards
structure of skeletal muscle
muscle covered by epimysium, muscle fascicle covered by perimysium, muscle fibre covered by endomysium
motor unit of skeletal muscle
one motor neurone supplying varying number of muscle fibres to contract muscle
Functional classification of skeletal muscle
agonist (flexors), antagonist(extensors), synergist, fixator,
tendons
dense connective tissue that do not shorten and can alter force direction
aponeuroses
flat muscle that attaches to itself not other bones
joint movement remember
muscles passing over a joint will act on that joint . can be more than one
skeletal muscle that acts involuntarily example
diaphragm
upper limb is supplied by what nerves
brachial plexus. musculocutaneous nerve for anterior, radial nerve for posterior
antagonist
relaxer
agonist
prime mover, contracts
fixator
stabiliser
synergist
augment action of agonist
where are the flexors of forearm
anterior.
extensors and flexors of gluteal muscles
gluteus maximus is Extensor. g medius and minimus abduction
nerve for gluteal muscles
sciatic
