Muscles

Question 0

Answer 0

Trapezius

Question 1

Side shoulder muscle

Answer 1

Lateral deltoid

Question 2

Front shoulder muscle

Answer 2

Anterior deltoid

Question 3

Rear shoulder muscle

Answer 3

Posterior deltoid

Question 4

The central tendon between the rectus abdominals

Answer 4

Linea alba

Question 5

Unipennate muscle

Answer 5

The muscle fibers insert into one side of the tendon. Can produce great force during contraction.

Question 6

Bipennate muscle

Answer 6

The muscle fibers insert obliquely into both sides of the tendon. Can produce great force during contraction.

Question 7

Multipennate muscle

Answer 7

Converges to several tendons. Example: deltoid.

Question 8

Longitudinal muscle

Answer 8

Long, strap-like fibers. Relatively week compared to other muscles. Ex: sartorius

Question 9

Adductor

Answer 9

Inner thighs

Question 10

Abductor

Answer 10

Outer part of hip/glute

Question 11

Calf muscle

Answer 11

Gastrocnemius

Question 12

Type I muscle fibers

Answer 12

Slow oxidative

Question 13

Type IIa muscle fibers

Answer 13

Oxidative glycolytic fibers

Question 14

Type IIx muscle fibers

Answer 14

Fast glycolytic

Question 15

Hamstring muscles

Answer 15

Biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus

Question 16

Number of muscles in the body

Answer 16

Approx 640

Question 17

PNF

Answer 17

Proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation: statically stretching a muscle after maximally contracting it against resistance (done with a partner)

Question 18

Intercostal muscles

Answer 18

Muscles in between the ribs

Question 19

Soleus

Answer 19

Calf muscle under the gastrocnemius, inserts into the Achilles’ tendon

Question 20

Erector spinae

Answer 20

Iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis

Question 21

Vastus medialis

Answer 21

Part of the quads; located medically in the thigh and extends to the knee

Question 22

Rotator cuff muscles

Answer 22

SITS: supraspinatus, infraspinatus, there’s minor and subscapularis

Question 23

The IT band is basically a long tendon for which muscle?

Answer 23

Tensor Fascia Latae (outside the hip, helps you flex, abduct, and rotate the hip)

Question 24

IT band syndrome

Answer 24

Can be called by TFL function. Pain in the outer knee; if the hip abductors aren’t working properly (like glute medius), TFL becomes overworked

Question 25

Proprioceptors

Answer 25

Golgi tendon organ (causes relaxation through autogenic inhibition) and muscle spindles (causes contraction through reciprocal inhibition)

Question 26

Two types of vitamin a

Answer 26

Retinol and beta-carotene
