quiz 5 muscles Flashcards
what are the three types of muscle
smooth, cardiac, skeletal
what is smooth muscle
lines organs/blood vessels, not voluntary, not striated
what is cardiac muscle
in heart only, not voluntary, is striated
what is skeletal muscle
attaches to bones or tendons, is striated
jobs of muscles
- muscles aid in posture
- muscles cause movement in internal organs
- muscles generate het for the body
- muscles are important for movement of the body
how do muscles aid posture
they help you stand or sit up straight
what does rector spinae do
hold head up
what does gastrocnemius and soleus do
keep le upright
soleus
calf
astronauts in space show significant
atrophy in calf, quads, back, and neck muscles
astronauts work in
zero gravity
what is the lost of mass of astronauts
20% loss of mass on 5-11 day flights
function of smooth muscle
involuntary, controls organs
what is peristalis
food pushed through GI tract
what does blood vessels dp
muscles cause vasoconstriction and vasodilation (blood pressure)
cremaster an dartos in testes
react to temperature. cremaster moves testes up (cold) r down (hot), dartos wrinkles (cold) or unwrnikles (hot) sacral skin
examples of smooth muscles that cause movement of internal organs
peristalsis, muscles in blood vessels, cremaster and darto in testes
why do muscles create heat when they contract .
- ATP hydrolysis is an exothermic reaction
- Friction between muscle fibers
generally, heat is a what of muscles working
an unwanted byproduct
when isn’t heat and unwanted byproduct of muscles working
shivering
what is shivering
muscles rapidly contract to produce heat when cold
how do muscles help the movement of Body
muscles work at levers to move bones
examples of muscles working as levers to move bones
bicep muscle shortens, pulls radius and ulna up
muscles very often work in what pairs
agonists , antagonists
what do agonists do
carry out the primary motion
what do antagonists do
oppose this motion and can reverse it
what is the first pair on agonist and antagonist muscles
biceps and triceps
what does the biceps branchii do
biceps branchii muscle runs along the humerus. it is attached to the scapula on one end and the radius and ulna on the other
what does biceps branchii allow
flexion of the elbow
what does the triceps brachii do
it connects from the scapula to radius. It allows for the opposite movement that the biceps allow
what movement does the triceps branchii allow
extension of the elbow
what is the second pair of agonists and antagonists
the hamstrings and quads
what do the hamstrings refer to
the 3 muscles on the dorsal side of the upper leg
what do hamstrings allow
the flexion of the knee
what is the quadriceps femoris
is on the ventral side of the upper leg
what does the quadriceps allow
extension of the knee
what do the hamstrings and quadriceps femoris connect to
the pelvis, and the tibia and fibula
what is the third pair of agonist and antagonist
the gastrocnemius and soleus and the tibialis anterior
what does the gastrocnemius and soleus attach to
achilles tendon
what happens when the gastrocnemius and soleus contract
the ankle joint undergoes extension
what does the tibialis anterior do
oppose motion of gastrocnemius and soleus and when it contracts the toes are raised
what are the hamstrings
- bicep femoris
- Semitendinosus
- Semimenbranosus
Flexion
decreasing the angle of the joint/ bending the joint
Extensions
increasing the angle of the joint/ straightening the joint
Dorsiflection
don’t push the gas / decreasing angle of the ankle joint / flex toes
Plantarflexion
push the gas / increasing the angle of the ankle joint / point toes
Elevation
raising (shoulders) / moving body part in a superior position
Abduction
move limb away from the medial line
Adduction
move limb toward the medial line
Lateral rotation
rotating a limb away from the medial line (turn out hip)
lateral flexion
decreasing angle of spine joint , bending the spine to the side, away from the medial line of the body
depression
moving body part in an inferior direction / lowering
eversion
rotating the ankle so that the SOLE of the foot points away from the other / rotating ankle in ankle in
inversion
rotating the ankle so that the SOLE of the foot points towards the other / rotating ankle out
medial rotation
rotating a limb towards the medial line of the body (turn in hip)
pronation
rotating the forearm so that the palm faces down if flexed
supination
rotating the forearm so that the palm faces up if the forearm is flexed
retraction
posterior movement (towards the back of the body) of the arm at the shoulder (moving shoulder back)
protraction
anterior movement (towards the front of the body ) of the arm at the shoulder (moving shoulder forward)
pairs of types of motion
flexion, extension dorsiflexion, plantarflexion elevation, depression abduction, adduction lateral rotation, medial rotation pronation, supination retraction, protraction lateral flexion inversion, eversion
