Q

What is passive insufficiency

A

Occurs when a muscle cannot be elongated any farther without damage to its fibers

17
Q

What is difference between agonist and antagonist

A

Agonist is the muscle or muscle group that causes the motion, the antagonist is a muscle that performs the opposite motion of the agonist

18
Q

When does cocontraction occur

A

When there is a need for accuracy. It is when the antagonist contracts at the same time as the agonist

19
Q

What is closed kinetic chain

A

When the distal segment is fixed and the proximal segment moves
Push-up

20
Q

What is open kinetic chain

A

When the distal segment is free to move while the proximal segment remains stationary

21
Q

What are the three types of muscle tissue

A

Smooth, cardiac, and skeletal

22
Q

What are smooth muscles

A
