Muscles

Question 1

arrangement of fascicles in muscles

Answer 1

circular
convergent
fusiform
parallel
pennate

Question 2

circular arrangement of fascicles

Answer 2

fascicles are arranged in concentric rings
surround external body openings
sphincter - general name for circular muscle
examples:
-orbicularis oris around the mouth
-orbicularis oculi around eye orbit

Question 3

convergent arrangement of fascicles

Answer 3

origin of the muscle is broad
fascicles converge toward the tendon of insertion
example: pectoralis major

Question 4

fusiform arrangement of fascicles

Answer 4

fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle and have an expanded central belly
eg biceps brachii

Question 5

parallel arrangement of fascicles

Answer 5

fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle

eg sartorius, sternocleidomastoid

Question 6

pennate arrangement of fascicles

Answer 6

unipennate - fascicles insert into one side of the tendon (eg extensor digitorum longus)
bipennate - fascicles insert into the tendon from both sides (eg rectus femoris)
multipennate - fascicles insert into one large tendon from more than two sides (eg deltoid)

superior, middle, inferior
infrahyoid muscles: open larynx for breathing after swallowing
omohyoid, sternohyoid, thyrohyoid, sternothyroid

Question 12

deep muscles of posterior back and neck

Answer 12

semispinalis
quadratus lumborum
erector spinae group - iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis

Question 13

functions of deep muscles of posterior back and neck

Answer 13

trunk extension and head movement
maintain normal curvatures of spines
muscles extend from sacrum to the skull

Question 14

deep muscles of the thorax: intercostals for breathing

Answer 14

deep muscles provide movements for breathing
external intercostal muscles - superficial to internal
lift the rib cage
internal intercostal muscles -
aid expiration during heavy breathing

Question 15

deep muscles of the thorax: diaphragm for breathing

Answer 15

most important muscle of respiration

flattens as it contracts, which increases the volume of the thoracic cavity

Question 16

pelvic muscles from deep to superficial

Answer 16

pelvic floor
urogenital diaphragm
superficial perineal space

Question 17

pelvic floor (pelvic diaphragm)

Answer 17

coccygeus

levator ani formed by: iliococcygeus, pubococcygeus

Question 18

urogenital diaphragm

Answer 18

formed from:
external urethral sphincter muscle
deep transverse perineal muscle

Question 19

superficial perineal space

Answer 19

bulbospongiosus
ischiocavernosus
superficial transverse perineal muscle

Question 20

muscle actions and interactions

Answer 20

prime mover (agonist) - has major responsibility for a certain movement
antagonist - opposes or reverses a movement
synergist - helps the prime mover
-by adding extra force
-by reducing undesirable movements

Question 21

arm/shoulder joint: flexion and extension

Answer 21

muscle that crosses on the anterior side produces flexion
eg pectoralis major
muscle that crosses on the posterior side produces extension
eg latissimus dorsi

Question 22

pectoralis major and deltoid

Answer 22

function antagonistically
deltoid: abduction of shoulder
pectoralis major: adduction of shoulder, flexion of arm, medial rotation of arm

Question 23

arm/shoulder: abduction and adduction

Answer 23

a muscle that crosses on the lateral side produces abduction
eg deltoid
a muscle that crosses on the medial side produces adduction
eg teres major

Question 24

deltoid

Answer 24

pure abductor of shoulder
varied action as arm swings:
as arm swings forward, part of the deltoid contributes to shoulder flexion and medial rotation
as arm swings backward, part of the deltoid contributes to shoulder extension and lateral rotation

Question 25

key elbow and knee extensors and flexors

Answer 25

upper extremity extensors in posterior compartment - triceps brachii, extensor digitorum
upper extremity flexors in anterior compartment - biceps brachii, flexor digitorum
lower extremity knee extensors in anterior compartment - quadriceps femoris, tibialis anterior
lower extremity knee flexors in posterior compartment - hamstrings, gastrocnemius

muscle compartments

Answer 26

compartments separated by dense fibrous connective tissue
