Q

skeletal muscle

A
  • voluntary
  • striated

Q

how do muscles work in pairs

A

each muscle has an opposite muscle to allow movement

-when one shortens, the other lengthens

26
Q

muscle tone

A

muscles are always in a slight state of tension ready to react

27

synergist-triceps and anterior deltiods
fixators- abs, obliques

28
Q

squat actors

fixators- muscles of core

29
Q

bicep curl actors

agonist- biceps
antagonist- triceps
synergist- brachioradialis and brachialis
fixators- anterior deltoids, abs and obliques

30
Q

agonists

A

contracting muscles

31
Q

transverse abs

A

deep muscle located anterior to spine

32
Q

elbow flexion

A

when bicep brachii concentrically contracts

33
Q

elbow extension

A

when tricep contracts concentrically

34
Q

knee extension

A

when quads contract concentrically

35
Q

hip extension

A

when glutes contract concentrically

36
Q

knee flexion

A

when hamstrings contract concentrically

37
Q

4 types of muscle contractions

A

concentric, eccentric, isometric, isotonic

38
Q

concentric

A

when a muscle shortens under tensions

39
Q

eccentric

A

when a muscle lengthens under tension

40
Q

isotonic

A

when a muscle is under tension and moving

41
Q

synergist

A

muscle that assists prime mover

42
Q

fixator

A

muscle or group of muscles which stabilize body or joint while movement is performed

43
Q

colors of muscle fibers

A

slow- red
fast- pink
faster- white

44
Q

example of activity for slow twitch muscles

A

long distance or low intensity run

45
Q

fast twitch activity example

A

heavy weight training or 400m run

46
Q

fast twitch 2 activity example

A

power lifting

47
Q

sliding filament theory

A

theory of how a muscle contracts- actin and myosin attach which allow contractions to occour

48
Q

motor unit consists of

A

one motor neuron and corresponding bundle of muscle fibers it’s attached to

49
Q

eccentric contractions

A

-muscle lengthening during contraction

50
Q

DOMS

A

delayed onset of muscle soreness

51
Q

eccentric training

A

allows a person to push muscles past normal point of failure, high risk of DOMS

52
Q

concentric contraction

A

causes muscles to shorten thereby generating force

53
Q

tendon

A

connects muscle to bone

-formed at the end of muscles by layers of connective tissues

54
Q

muscle attachments

A
  • tendons
  • aponeurosis
  • muscle fascia
55
Q

muscle fascia

A

muscles attach directly to periosteum, the fiberous sheath of the bone

56
Q

periosteum

A

fiberous sheath of bone

57
Q

aponeurosis

A

connective tissue that connects muscles to muscles

58
Q

smooth muscle

A
  • visceral
  • involuntary in motor function
  • contracts under unconscious control stimulated by autonomic nervous system
