QUIZ 3 Flashcards
agonist
-primer move
antagonist
-prime opponent
synergist
-assist agonist (stabilize joint)
fixator
- assist agonist (stabilize bone)
- foundation for action to take place
elbow flexion
- agonist- bicep brachii
- antagonist- triceps brachii
flexion of wrist
- agonist- palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis
- flexor carpi ulnaris- also adducts
- flexor carpi radialis- also abducts
- results in straight flexion
- flexor carpi ulnaris and flexor carpi radialis are antagonists of one another (abductor and abbductor)
finger flexion: pulling yourself up
- agonist- finger flexors: flexor digitorum superficialis, flexor pollicis longus, flexor digitorum profundus, flexor radialis
- antagonist- finger extensors
- synergist- wrist should be extended: wrist extensors -> extensor carpi ulnaris, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi radialis longus
fixators of scapula
- trapezius
- levator scapulae
- rhomboideus
- pull the scapula against the back (anteriorly-under scapula) and medially
- keeps scapula in place for foundation for ex. when subscapularis pulls humerus for medial rotation
walking
- muscle action and muscle function may be different
- gait cycle -> 2 phases
- heel strike- hip is flexed, knee is extended
- support phase- body weight moves forward and supports (hip is flexed -> extension of hip, extension of knee)
- toe off- push off with toe
- swing phase- flexion of knee and hip, leg swings forward
- repeat
muscle action
- when considered in isolation, the movement that a muscle is capable of producing in isolation
- the movements that a muscle is capable of producing
muscle function
- the body motion that a muscle produced when it is in use
- depends on the context of other muscle actions and joint positions
- the body motion that muscle produces when it is in use
muscle function = muscle action in some cases:
- pronator quadratus
- brachialis
pronator quadratus
- action=function
- pronation at forearm/wrist
- anterior distal end
- between ulna and radius
- brings them closer together
- rotation about the ulna
brachialis
- action=function
- crosses from the diaphysis of the humerus to the coracoid process of ulna
- pulls ulna towards humerus
- flexion of forearm at elbow joint
muscle function may be modified muscle action
- pronator teres
- biceps brachii
pronator teres
- action= pronation
- elongated
- pulling between medial epicondyle of humerus
- pulls radius and forearm towards the humerus
- pronation
- if you already have pronation and have further flexion of the pronator teres you would expect it to produce flexion at the elbow
- function = can do flexion when already pronated
consider 7 muscle groups for walking
- gluteus maxium
- gluteus medius
- quadriceps femoris
- hamstrings
- iliopsoas
- triceps surae
- dorsiflexors of the foot
electromyography (EMG)
- measures electrical impulse of muscle fiber action potential that occurs during muscle contraction
- tells you which muscles are being used (contraction)
EMG experiment
- left gastrocnemius (knee flexor and foot plantar flexor)
- stabilize the ankle joint when walking
- activation at the end of support phase
gluteus maximus: isolated
- extends and laterally rotates femur
- most superficial
- largest
- goes between iliac crest to posterior side of proximal femur
- contracts -> pulls between posterior side of femur and posterior side of iliac crest
- straightens legs
gluteus maximus: walking
- activated during early support phase (right after heel strike)
- prevents jack-knifing of trunk (maintaining upright posture)
- extends and laterally rotates femur
- counteracts forces of jack-knifing during heel strike
gluteus maximus gait
- characterized by a posteriorly leaning trunk at heel strike
- trunk muscle activity is compensating for the loss gluteus maximus function
- be leaning back, jack-knifing is also prevented
- use trunk muscles (leaning back) to prevent jack-knifing
- damage to inferior gluteal nerve
gluteus medius
- abduct femur
- anterior superior of iliac
- proximal, lateral side of femur
- prevents pelvis from collapsing
- important for early support phase
- pulls pelvis towards leg to remain straight (not drooping)
when is action of gluteus medius as a hip abductor be necessary for gait cycle
- support phase
- helps reinforce upright posture
trendelenburg sign
- damage to superior gluteal nerve
- loss of function of gluteus medius
- collapse of pelvis
- loss of abductor function
quadriceps femoris
- extend knee
- flex hip
- straightening of leg
- 4 muscles (anterior to thigh) -> rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, vastus medialis
- important for support phase and end of swing phase (extending the knee for another heel strike)
- prevents knee from collapsing and prevents jack-knifing
hamstrings
- flex knee
- extend hip
- 3 muscles -> bicep femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus
- important during early support phase (preventing jack-knifing- hip extension) and during swing phase (flex knee to raise leg for swing)
- prevents jack knifing of trunk
- flex knee to raise leg for swing
Iliopsoas
- flex hip
- 2 muscles -> psoad major and iliacus
- function: hip flexion
- action = function
- important for swing phase
- bring toes of ground and swing legs forward
triceps surae
- 2 muscles: soleus and gastrocnemius
- action- plantarflex ankle and flex knee
- important for end of support phase
- prevent ankle collapse
- getting ready for toe off -> push off
- leg is already extended now the body is counteracting weight from collapsing ankle
dorsiflexors of the foot
- 2 muscles: tibialis anterior (medial side of foot), fibularis tertius (lateral side of foot)
- also: edl ehl
- pull on both sides preventing eversion and inversion
- action- dorsiflex ankle, invert foot, evert foot
- function- prevent “slap down”, prevent “toe drag”, ensure heel strike
- instead of the toe off being a slap down it ensures the foot rolls off the ground
- pulls up the toes and heel strike
head rotation
- C1 is rotation on C2
- sternocleidomastoid muscle - attaches on sternum, clavicle and mastoid (bump be the ear)
- innervated by accessory nerve (CN XI)
- muscle action- rotate head towards opposite side, tilt head head on same side, flexes head when activated bilaterally (head towards chest)
- action of right sternocleidomastoid turns head left (vice versa)
mastication
- temporomandibular joint- temporal muscle of skull and mandibular muscle
- chewing
- synovial joint- 2 synovial cavities
- superior and inferior synovial cavities are separated by the articular disc (2 cavities)- absorbs pressure
- temporalis- elevates and retracts mandible -> attaches to temporal line (pulls jaw upward and posteriorly)
- masseteur- elevates and protracts mandible -> attaches at cheek bone and back corner or mandible (moves upward and anteriorly)
- *lateral pterygoid- depresses and protrudes manible (project back into nasal cavity) -> pulls forward anteriorly and leads to opening of jaw
- medial pterygoid- elevates mandible
why do we only have one muscle for depression of jaw
- most has to do with gravity
- lateral pterygoid
TMJ function and dislocation
- articular cartilage is pushed too far anteriorly
- when you open your jaw it puts pressure on the ligaments of the synovial joint
- ligaments have nerves and blood vessels -> pain
- this happens if you get hit laterally
- clicking -> articular cartilage displaced
orbicularis muscles
- face muscles
- palpebral portion (gently closes eyelids)
- orbital portion (forcefully closes eyelids; squinting; outer)
- orbicularis oculi -> constricts and protrudes lips; resist distention (during blowing)
- acts as an orbital sphincter:
- palpebral portion gently closes
- orbital portion tightly close
facial paralysis
- ex. bells palsy
- cause- inflammation of facial nerve at stylomastoid foramen
- symptom:
- loss of muscle tone- lower orbicularis oculi falls away from eye, weakening of orbicularis oris
- dry cornea
- saliva dribbling
- food accumulation during chewing
nervous system role
-communication control and coordination of different organ systems
central nervous system
-brain and spinal cord
peripheral nervous system
- cranial nerves
- spinal nerves
- ganglia
nervous system function
- sensory activity
- integrative activity
- motor activity
nervous system functional unit
- neurons
- cells
- excitable- respond to a stimulus (chemical, stretch, pressure)
- conducted- an electric charge is propagated along the plasma membrane
neuron functional classification
- afferent- carries signals towards CNS (input) -> sensory
- synapses at interneuron- integration of multiple sensory neurons -> conducts to motor neuron
- efferent- carries signals away from CNS (output) -> motor
what is a nerve impulse stimilated by low K levels in the kidney an ex of
afferent
neuron structure
- dendrites- pick up potentials from others
- cell body- nucelus, organelles, thickest part
- axon- conducts the action potential from cell body; 1 per neuron; usually longest structure
- synaptic terminals- passes signals over, may pass by neurotransmitter
neuron myelination
- fatty substance
- insulates
- efficient conduction of signals
- wraps around axon
- prevents ions from passing through the cell membrane of the axon
- produced by a living cell
- neurolemmocyte (shwann cell)- glial cell; myelinates
- neurofibril node (node of ranvier)
action potential
- polarization- difference in + and - on either side of plasma membrane
- depolarization
- after exceeding threshhold -> action potential
- sodium in
- a propagation of depolarization along the cell (electrical current)
- in neurons this signals flows from dendrite through the axon (unidirectional)
- more ion channels in dendrite
conduction (myelinated)
- nodes of ranvier are depolarized
- jump to next node
- saltatory conduction
- 130m/s
conduction (unmyelinated)
- continuous conduction
- .5m/s
what attribute of neuron cells does the transmission of an action potential illustrate
- conductivity
- action potential through the cell
synapse
- junctions between neurons, across which nerve impulses are transmitted
- presynaptic neuron- transmit signal to synapse
- postsynaptic neuron
conduction (mechanism)
- electrical synapse- ions moving from gap junction (heart)
- chemical synapse- conduction of electrical impulse to the end of synapse and then release chemical (aCh) -> action potential in postsynaptic
chemical synapse
- common synapse type
- analogous to neuromuscular junction
1. arrival of an action potential
2. release of neurotransmitter from presynaptic
3. receipt of neurotransmitter by postsynaptic
4. new action potential
all or none
- triggers an all or none response
- threshold stimulus on dendrite causes depolarization (fire)
- depolarization of adjacent area along plasma membrane (impulse)
- synaptic knobs release neurotransmitter (synapse)
acetylcholine
- ACh
- somatic motor
- somatic sensory
- visceral sensory
- parasympathetic (visceral motor)
norepinephrine
-sympathetic (visceral motor)
neuron classification
-unipolar- 1 dendrite -> peripheral sensory -> bypasses cell body (uncommon)
-bipolar- 2 dendrite -> special sensory
multipolar- multiple dendrites -> motor
