Muscles Part 2 Flashcards
Point on which bar moves, joint
Fulcrum
Bones
Rigid bar
Moved against resistance, weight
Object
Supplies energy for movement, muscles
Force
4 basic components of levers
(RFOF)
- Rigid bar
- Fulcrum
- Object
- Force
Immovable end
Origin
Movable end
Insertion
Primarily responsible for movement
Prime mover/agonist
Assist prime mover
Synergistic
Contraction causes movement in the opposite direction of the prime mover
Antagonist
muscle contracts and changes in length
isotonic
shortening contraction
concentric
lengthening contraction
eccentric
muscle contracts but does not change length(no movement)
isometric
oxygen debt
amount of oxygen needed to convert lactic acid back into pyruvate
stimulates/activates muscle contraction
binds to calcium ions
calmodulin
stimulates smooth muscles in the wall of the uterus during childbirth
oxytocin
wave-like motion
peristalsis
impacts smooth muscle
norepinephrine
