Muscular System Part 2 Flashcards
Specialized muscle tissue that forms in the heart
Cardiac Muscle Tissue
Cardiac muscle tissue contracts when it’s stimulated by its own
autorhythmic muscle fibers
Cardiac Muscle Tissue is also known as
myocardium
Is the movement of Cardiac Muscle Tissue voluntary or involuntary?
involuntary
This connect the ends of cardiac muscle fibers to one another
Intercalated discs
Does the Cardiac Muscle Tissue requires oxygen? Why?
Yes, once there is a depletion or absence of
oxygen, it will be difficult for the heart to pump blood.
These muscle tissues are usually activated involuntarily and are controlled by the nervous system
Smooth Muscle Tissue
Action potentials are spread through the fibers
by ___
gap junctions
Is Smooth Muscle striated or not striated
not striated
Refers to an increase in the number of fibers
Hyperplasia
Growth of skeletal muscle after birth is
due mainly to _____
hypertrophy
Muscles of the body are derived from ____
mesoderm
Columns of mesoderm undergo segmentation
into structures called _____
somites
Region in a somite that forms the skeletal muscles of the head, neck, and limbs
Myotome
Region in a somite that forms the connective tissues, including the dermis of the skin
Dermatome
Region in a somite that gives rise to the vertebrae
Sclerotome
it forms the exoskeleton, and it would give rise to the nervous system and the epidermis.
ectoderm
will give rise to the gut and many internal organs.
endoderm
when you reach the age of 80 the muscle mass decreases where in 50% of the body’s muscle mass will be lost which is referred to as ____
sarcopenia
the attachment to the stationary bone
Origin
the attachment to the moveable bone
Insertion
This muscle is used for the extension of the forearm to the elbow joint
triceps brachii
This muscle is used for the flexion and supination of the forearm to the elbow joint.
biceps brachii
A muscle movement that refers to bending a joint or decreasing the angle between two bones.
Flexion
A muscle movement that refers to straightening a joint or increasing the angle between two bones.
Extension
A muscle movement that refers to excessive extension of the parts at a joint beyond anatomical position.
Hyperextension
A muscle movement that refers to moving a body part towards the midline of the body.
Adduction
A muscle movement that refers to moving a body part away from the midline of the body.
Abduction
A muscle movement that refers to turing the arm or foot downward (palm or sole of the foot – down).
Pronation
A muscle movement that refers to turning the arm or foot upward (palm or sole of the foot – up).
Supination
A muscle movement that refers to moving a part backward.
Retraction
A muscle movement that refers to moving a part forward.
Protraction
