Muscular Flashcards
 Types of muscle
Cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle, smooth muscle
For the movement of the heart it is involuntary muscle
Cardiac muscle 
Voluntary muscle
Skeletal muscle
Can be found in the lining of the intestine it is involuntary important in the peristalsis
Smooth muscle
Number of muscles in our body
Approximately 600 muscles
The connective tissue component
Endomysium, perimysium, and epimysium
Inner layer or inside cover of the skeletal muscle
Endomysium
Outside cover, coarse sheath covering the muscle as a whole
Epimysium
Give strength and elasticity, tough connective tissue binding together fascicles
Perimysium 
Muscles attachment
Origin and insertion
Point of attachment that does not move
Origin
Point of attachment that moves with the muscles contracts
Insertion
Most movements are produced by the coordinated action of several muscles some muscles in the group contract but others relax
Muscle action
A muscle or group of muscles that they have the performs a specific movement
Prime mover
Muscles that when contracting directly opposed prime movers. Provide precision and control during contraction of prime movers. Move away the opposite the movement of prime mover
Antagonist
Stimulates or supports the movement of the prime mover. Muscles the contract at the same time as the prime movers and their facilities movers action to produce a more efficient movement
Synergists
Join stabilizes
Fixator muscles, maintain the muscle in plain or intact
Lever system
Rigid bar, fulcrum ,load,pull
Stabilize the muscle , steady movement of the muscles
Rigid bar
Balances the movement of the muscle
Fulcrum
Stimulates the muscles to move
Load
Contraction or the movement produced by the muscle
Pull
Fulcrum lies between the pull and the load not abundant in the human body
First class lever
Load lies between the fulcrum and the joint at which the pull is exerted
Second class lever
Pull is exerted between the fulcrum and load permit rapid and extensive movement opposing movement movement against gravity. Most common
Third class lever
Important in skeletal muscles
Muscles of facial expression, muscles of mastication ,muscles that move the head
Responsible or allow us to make facial expression unique in that at least one point of attachment is two deep layer of the skin over the face or neck
Muscles of facial expression
Responsible for chewing movement
Muscles of mastication
Paires muscles on either side of the neck are responsible for head movement
Muscles that move the head
Muscles of the face responsible for making us smile
Zygomaticus minor and major
Muscles of the thorax, muscles of the abdominal wall, muscles of the back, muscles of the pelvic floor
Trunk muscles
