Muscular System Flashcards
Prime mover (agonist)
major responsibility for producing specific movement
antagonist
opposes or reverses movement
prime mover and antagonist are located on opposite sides of joint across which they act
synergist
helps prime movers
adds extra force to same movement
reduces undesirable or unnecessary movement
fixator
synergist that immobilizes bone or muscle’s origin
gives prime mover stable base on which to act
coronal plane
anterior and posterior
sagittal plane
medial and lateral
transverse plane
superior and inferior
proximal
near to the approximate centre of mass
some reference point further from the centre of mass
distal
distant from the approximate centre of mass
a muscle that crosses on the anterior side of a joint produces…
flexion
a muscle that crosses on the posterior side of a joint produces…
extension
a muscle that crosses on the lateral side of a joint produces….
abduction (moving up and away)
a muscle that crosses on the medial side of a joint produces…
adduction
protraction vs retraction
protraction - forward motion, jaw juts forward
retraction - backward motion, jaw juts backward
dorsiflexion vs plantar flexion
dorsiflexion - foot arches upward
plantar flexion - foot arches downward
inversion vs eversion
inversion - inside of the foot sticking up
eversion - outside of the foot sticking up
circular fascicle arrangement
fascicles arranged in concentrate rings
convergent fascicle arrangement
broad origin; fascicles converge toward single tendon insertion
fusiform fascicle arrangement
spindle-shaped muscles with parallel fibers
parallel fascicle arrangements
fascicles parallel to long axis of strap-like muscles
pennate fascicle arrangement
short fascicles attach obliquely to central tendon running length of muscle
unipennate
bipennate
multipennate
unipennate: fascicles attach only to one side of tendon
bipennate: fascicles insert on opposite sides of tendon
multipennate: appears as feathers inserting into one tendon
components of a lever system:
lever
effort
load
lever - bone that moves on a fixed point (joint)
effort - force applied to move the load
load - the resistance moved by the effort (the weight of the object)
power versus speed
levers allow given effort to move heavier load or to move load farther or faster
mechanical advantage (power level): load is close to fulcrum, with effort fair from fulcrum - small effort can move large load
mechanical disadvantage (speed lever): load is far from fulcrum, with effort close to fulcrum - load moved rapidly over large distance
what is the equation for the lever systems
effort x length of effort arm = load x length of load arm
force x distance = resistance x distance
first class lever system
fulcrum is between load and effort
seesaw, scissors
second class lever
load is between fulcrum and effort
(wheelbarrow, standing on toes)
Load is in the middle
third class lever
effort is applied between fulcrum and load
(tweezers, most skeletal muscles)
effort in the middle
