- Longitudinal acxis(veritcal)
Types of contractions
- Isometric or static ( there is contractions but no visible joint movement occurs
- Isotonic contractions : they maintain constant tension in the muscle as the muscle changes length
- Concentric contractions : the muscle shorten while generating force
- Eccentric : elongation of muscle
In the muscle lever system during the first class lever what muscle is on the fulcrom( L F AF )
Splenius capitis and semispinalis capitis
In the second class lever( flaf)
The gastrocnemius is in the applied force area
