Q

Describe the mechanical advantage

A

if the load is closer to the fulcrum and the effort farther from the fulcrum, so only small effort is needed to move a load.

Q

Describe mechanical disadvantage in relation to the lever systems (effort and load)

A

If the load is farther from the fulcrum and the effort is applied closer to the fulcrum, then a large effort is required to move a small load

24
Q

Describe multipennate fascicle arrangement

A

Fascicles attach obliquely from many directions to the tendon
Ex: deltoid

25
In _______ contractions, tension remains constant as muscle length increases or decreases
Isotonic
26
What are isotonic contractions used for?
Body movements and for moving objects
27
What are the two types of isotonic contractions
Concentric contraction | Eccentric contraction
28
Describe concentric contraction
Muscle shortens and produce movement to reduce the angle at a joint

Concentric Eccentric Isometric
30
Describe eccentric contraction
Muscle lengthens during contraction
31
In ________ contractions the muscle does not change length
Isometric
32
________ are the main muscles that contracts to cause an action
Prime mover or agonist
33
________ the muscle that opposes the action of the prime mover- relaxes the muscle
Antagonist
34

Antagonistic
35
Antagonist and prime mover are usually located on ______ sides of the bone or joint
Opposite
36
__________, the muscles that contract and stabilize the intermediate joints to prevent unwanted movements
Synergist
37
_______, the muscles that stabilize the origin of the prime mover so that the primate mover can act more efficiently
Fixator
38
