50
Q

What are slow oxidative muscle fibres designed to do ?

A

  • Supination - palm towards ceiling
  • Horizontal abduction (extension) - moving arm upwards, then away from body
  • Horizontal adduction (flexion) - moving arm upwards then towards body
  • Splits body into bottom and top
54
Q

What is a MOTOR NEURON ?

A

a NERVE CELL which transmits a NERVE IMPULSE to a group of MUSCLE FIBRES

55
Q

What is a MOTOR UNIT ?

A

a MOTOR NEURON and the MUSCLE FIBRE stimulated by its AXON

56
Q

What is ACTION POTENTIAL?

A

POSITIVE ELECTRICAL CHARGE inside the NERVE and MUSCLE CELL which conducts the NERVE IMPULSE down the NEURON and into the MUSCLE FIBRE

A

where the axon’s MOTOR END PLATES meets the MUSCLE FIBRE

Q

N—- I—— initiated in the M—- N—— cell body. N—- I—— is conducted down the A— of the M—- N—— by a nerve action potential.
N—- I—— has to cross the S——- C—-. N————— called A———— makes this happen by being secreted into the S——- C—-. If the E——– I——– is above the required threshold the M—– F—– will C——– at the same time with M——— F—-

A

NERVE IMPULSE initiated in the MOTOR NEURON cell body. NERVE IMPULSE is conducted down the AXON of the MOTOR NEURONE by a nerve action potential.
NERVE IMPULSE has to cross the SYNAPTIC CLEFT. NEUROTRANSMITTER called ACETYCHOLINE makes this happen by being secreted into the SYNAPTIC CLEFT. If the ELECTRICAL IMPULSE is above the required threshold the MUSCLE FIBRES will CONTRACT at the same time with MAXIMUM FORCE

76
Q

What are Tendons?

A

Fibrous connective tissue that attaches the muscle to the bone.

77
Q

What is the use of Tendons and where are they located?

A
  • Transmit force created by the muscle to move the bone
  • Origin is where the muscle is attached to the stationary bone
  • Insertion point is where the muscle attaches itself to the moveable bone which will get closer to the origin during muscular contraction
78
Q

What is a ligament?

A

Fibrous tissue that connects bones to bone
