Anatomical position
Body erect, feet slightly apart, palms facing forward, thumbs point away from body. [everything is in reference to anatomical position]
Active Movement
Movement performed that engages muscles (when working with a partner, they move their own arm)
Passive Movement
Movement performed by doing the motion for the individual/ partner.
Resisted Movement
Partner attempts to perform an action against your gentle resistance.
Muscle
voluntary contractile tissue that moves the skeleton.
Epimysium
Encases the muscle belly
Perimysium
Encases bundles of fibers
Endomysium
Encases a single muscle fiber
Periostium
Encases bone, tendons attach to
Agonist
Muscle that carries out an action
Synergist
Muscle that supports the agonist
Antagonist
Muscle that has an opposite action of the antagonist
Parallel muscles
have long fibers that run parallel to the length (long axis) of the muscle. There are 5 types of parallel muscle.
Pennate muscles
Have shorter fibers that run obliquely to their tendons. There are 3 types of pennate muscle.
Fascicle Arrangement : Circular
Circular: Fascicles arranged in concentric rings.
Fascicle Arrangement : Convergent
Muscle has a broad origin, and its fascicles converge toward a single tendon of insertion.
Triangular or fan shaped like the pectoralis major muscle of the anterior thorax.
Fascicle Arrangement: fusiform muscles:
spindle-shaped muscles
