muscular system Flashcards
are smooth muscles voluntary or involuntary?
involuntary
what is the origin and insertion for the Quadriceps
origin: Pelvis, Insertion: patella
are cardiac muscles voluntary or involuntary?
involuntary
are smooth muscles straited or non straited?
unstriated
what is the origin
the stationary end of a muscle contraction (the bone)
what is the origin and insertion for the bicep
origin: scapula , Insertion: Radius
are skeletal muscles oxygen dependent or not oxygen dependent?
not oxygen dependent
what is the main function of a cardiac muscle and give an example
aiding blood flow through the heart, this type of muscle is only found in the walls of the heart
where are your hamstrings
back of thigh
where is your soleus
back of calf
where is your gluteus maximus
back side
identify the two types of muscle contractions
isotonic and isometric
where is your trapesium
bottom of head
where are your deltoids
shoulder
where is your pectorals major
chest
what is the antagonist in a muscle contraction
the muscle (group of muscles) that relaxes allowing the movement to take place
are skeletal muscles voluntary or involuntary?
voluntary
what are the three TYPES of muscles?
cardiac muscle, smooth muscle, skeletal muscles
where is your rectus abdominus
lower chest/abs
where is your Latissimus Dorsi
back shoulder
where are your biceps
front of arm
where is your tibialis anterior
front of calf
are skeletal muscles straited or non straited?
striated
where are your triceps
back of arm
what is an eccentric, isotonic contraction
where the muscle lengthens as it contracts
where is your gastrocnemius
back of calf
what is the main function of smooth muscles and give an example
for aiding digestion and distribution of blood, walls of digestive tract
are cardiac muscles oxygen dependent or not oxygen dependent?
oxygen dependent
where are your obliques
side of abs
are cardiac muscles straited or non straited?
striated
what is the main function of skeletal muscle and give an example
aiding movement, biceps
where are your hip flexors
hip
what is the origin and insertion for the tricep
origin: shoulder, Insertion: Ulna
state the two types of isotonic contractions
concentric and eccentric
where are your quadriceps
front of thigh
what is the origin and insertion for the hamstring
origin: pelvis, Insertion: back of Tibia
what is the insertion
the end that moves in a muscle contraction (the muscle)
are smooth muscles oxygen dependent or not oxygen dependent?
not oxygen dependent
what is a concentric, isotonic contraction
where the muscle shortens as it contracts
what is the agonist in a muscle contraction
the muscle (group of muscles) that contracts creating movement
