Muscular System Part 2 Flashcards
the attachment of
muscle tendon to a
stationary bone
origin
attachment of muscle
tendon to a movable
bone
insertion
a rigid structure that moves around a fixed point
fulcrum
lever (fulcrum)
causes movement
effort
- opposes movement
Load (resistance)
when does Motion occurs
when effort exceeds the load
acts as lever during movement
bone
acts as fulcrum during movement
joints
acts as effort during movement
muscle contraction
acts as load during movement
Weight of body part moved or resistance of
body part
the load is closer to the fulcrum and the effort
farther from the fulcrum
mechanical advantage
The load is father from the fulcrum and the
effort is closer to the fulcrum
mechanical disadvantage
The fulcrum is between the effort and the load
first class lever (f)
The load is between the fulcrum and the effort
second class lever (l)
The effort is between the fulcrum and the load
`
third class lever (e)
most common lever in the body
third class lever (e)
uncommon lever in the body
second class lever (l)
Affects muscle’s power and range of motion
fascicle arrangement
The longer the muscle fibers, the
greater the range of motion
parallel muscles
The greater the total cross-sectional
area of a muscle, the greater power it
produce
pennate muscles
Fascicles parallel to
longitudinal axis of
muscles
parallel
Fascicles nearly parallel
to longitudinal axis of
muscles
fusiform
Fascicles in concentric circular arrangements form sphincter muscles that enclose an orifice (opening).
circular
Fascicles spread over
broad area converge at
thick central tendon
triangular
Fascicles arranged on
only one side of the
tendon
unipennate
Fascicles arranged on
both sides of centrally
positioned tendons
bipennate
Fascicles attach
obliquely from many
directions to several
tendons
multipennate
Contracts to cause the action
prime mover (agonist)
Stretches and yields to the effect of prime
mover (relaxes)
antagonist
Usually needed when a prime mover crosses
other joints before it reaches the primary joint
where action is produced
synergist
Stabilizes the origin of the of the prime mover
fixator
A group of skeletal muscles with their associated vessels (artery and vein), and nerves, all of which have common function
compartment
where does the muscles of facial expression lie?
Lies within the subcutaneous layer
what muscles is responsible for Look of surprise
Occipitofrontalis
