Myology Flashcards
what are the muscle fibres properties
-contractility: allows to shorten
-muscle tension
what are the three types of muscle
-skeletal
-cardiac
-smooth
skeletal muscle
-attaches to the skeleton and moves the skeleton
- organized into a strained pattern
-it is under voluntary control
what does skeletal muscle consist of
-75% water
-20% protein
smooth muscle
-found in. the walls of hollow oragns or blood vessels
-contracticile muscles rent aligned making a smooth appearance
-involunetary control
-multinucleated cell (syncytium)
cardiac muscle
-contarctile tissue in heart wall
-both smooth and skeletal characteristics
-straited and under involuntary control as well as multineaclted allowing the movement of blood
what are the functions of the skeletal muscle
-produce skeletal ovemtn
-maintain posture
-breathing
-support weight of organs and soft tissues
what is the criteria used to name/ identity muscle
-shape
-action
-location
-division
-size relitionship
-direction of fibres
what is fascilsi
bundle of muscles
what are the two ways the faciscili can arrange itself
-run parallel to long axis of muscle and produce more range of motion but less strength
-insert diagonally into a tendon running the length of the muscle sand produce less range of motion but more strength
unipennate
all facsiluni inserted on one side of a tendon
eg: the semibrenansos
bipennate
faculini insert both sides of tension
eg: rectus femoris
multipennate
convergance of several tendons
eg: deltoids
advantage and disadvantage of a pennate muscle
since going into tendon less range of motion but greater strength
what are the three parts called that allow a muscle to move
-prime mover
-antagonist
-fixators/stabalizers
