Myology 2 Review (Midterm) Flashcards
What is the Origin of a Muscle?
The Bone that does not move when muscle Shortens.
What is the Insertion of a Muscle?
The Moveable portion of the bone.
What is the Belly of a Muscle?
The Fleshy portion between attachment sites of the muscle.
In relation to Lever action of a Muscle what is Resistance?
This is the (Load) that is placed on the muscle.
Such as Weight of the body or added weight.
This opposes the Movement of the contracting muscle.
In relation to Lever action of a muscle what is Effort?
This is the Muscle contracting and is the cause of the movement.
In relation to Lever action of a muscle what is the Fulcrum?
This is the joint and thew fixed point in the Movement.
In relation to Lever action of a muscle what is the leverage?
This is the Maximum ability to move bones through a movement.
Mechanical Advantage gained by a lever.
It is largely responsible for a muscles strength and ROM.
In relation to Lever action of a muscle what is a First Class lever?
They have Mechanical Advantage or No mechanical Advantage depending on the Location of (Effort and Resistance)
Effort is further from the fulcrum (strong resistance can be moved)
Ex: Head resting on vertebral column.
In relation to Lever action of a muscle what is a Second Class lever?
There is Mechanical Advantage.
Sacrifices speed for Force.
Ex: Rising up on your toes.
In relation to Lever action of a muscle what is a Third class lever?
Most common lever in the body. Mechanical Disadvantage. Effort is always closer to the Fulcrum than Resistance. Sacrifices Force for speed and ROM. Ex: Flexion at the Elbow joint.
For a Skeletal Muscle What is Fascicle Arrangement?
This is the Shape and Arrangement of the Fascicles in the muscle.
What is a Abbreviation for A Second Class lever?
(ELF) Effort, Load and Fulcrum
What is a Abbreviation for A Third class lever?
(FEL) Fulcrum, Effort and Load
how much does a Muscle shorten in length?
It shortens about 70% of its length.
What is the Prime Mover?
This is the muscle that produces the Desired movement.
Ex: Shoulder Abduction the deltoid would be the prime mover.
What is the Antagonist?
This is the muscle that Stretches and yields the prime mover.
Opposing the prime mover.
Ex: During shoulder Abduction the (Pec major, Lat, Teres major) would be the Antagonist.
What is the Synergist?
Stabilizes nearby the joints during desired action.
Ex: Shoulder Abduction the SITS muscles would be Synergist.
What is the Fixators?
They Stabilize the Origin of the Prime Mover.
Ex: Shoulder abduction the (Traps, Lats and Pec major) would be the Fixators.
What is Eccentric movements?
Contraction of the muscle when it is lengthened.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Parallel?
Fascicles parallel to the Longitudinal Axis of a muscle.
Terminate at ether end in flat tendons.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Fusiform?
Fascicles nearly parallel to longitudinal axis of a muscle.
Terminate in flat tendons, muscles taper towards tendons.
the diameter of the tendons is less than the belly.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Circular?
Fascicles are in concentric circular arrangements.
they form Sphincter muscles that enclose an orifice.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Triangular?
Fascicles spread over broad areas converging at thick central tendons.
Gives the muscle a triangular appearance.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Pennate?
Short Fascicles in relation to total muscle length, tendon extends nearly entire length of the muscle.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Unipennate?
Fascicles arranged on only one side of the tendon.
In relation to Fascicle Arrangement what is Bipennate?
Fascicles arranged on both sides of the centrally positioned tendon.
