23
Q

what is the agonist

A

the muscle responsible for the movement at the joint

24
Q

what is the antagonist

A

the muscle that has an action opposite to the agonist

25
Q

what is the fixator

A

the muscle that stabilises the joint

26
Q

what is an isotonic muscle contraction

A

the muscle contracts and changes length

27
Q

what is an isometric muscle contraction

A

the muscle contracts but doesn’t change length or width

28
Q

what is a concentric muscle contraction

A

where the muscle shortens as it contracts

29
Q

what is an eccentric muscle contraction

A

where the muscle lengthens as it contracts

30
Q

what is the agonist and antagonist for flexion and extension at the elbow

A

flexion: agonist= bicep brachii, antagonist= tricep brachii
extension: agonist= tricep brachii, antagonist= bicep brachii

31
Q

what is the agonist and antagonist for dorsi and plantar flexion at the ankle

A

dorsi flexion: agonist= tibialis anterior, antagonist= gastrocnemius
plantar flexion: agonist= gastrocnemius, antagonist= tibialis anterior

32
Q

what is the agonist and antagonist for flexion and extension at the knee

A

flexion: agonist= bicep femoris (hamstring), antagonist= rectus femoris (quads)
extension: agonist= rectus femoris, antagonist= bicep femoris

33
Q

what is the agonist and antagonist for flexion and extension at the wrist

A

flexion: agonist= wrist flexors, antagonist= wrist extensors
extension: agonist= wrist extensors, antagonist= wrist flexors

34
Q

what is the agonist and antagonist for flexion and extension at the hip

A

flexion: agonist= illiopsoas, antagonist= gluteus maxiumus
extension: agonist= gluteus maximus, antagonist= illiopsoas

35
Q

what are the antagonistic pairs for abduction and adduction at the hip

A

abduction: agonist= gluteus medius, antagonist= adductor longus
adduction: agonist= adductor longus, antagonist= gluteus medius

36
Q

what are the antagonist pairs for medial and lateral rotation at the hip

A

medial rotation: agonist = gluteus minimus, antagonist= gluteus maximus

38
Q

what is the antagonistic pair for adduction and abduction at the shoulder

A

adduction: latissimus dorsi, medial deltoid

39
Q

what is the antagonistic pair for horizontal flexion and extension at the shouder

A

horizontal flexion: pectoralis major, trapezius
horizontal extension: trapezius, pectoralis major

40
Q

what is the antagonistic pair for medial and lateral rotation at the shoulder

A

medial rotation: teres major, teres minor
lateral rotation: teres minor, teres major

41
Q

what is a motor neuron

A

a nerve cell which conducts a nerve impulse to a group of muscle fibres

42
Q

what is a motor unit

A

a motor neuron and the muscle fibres it stimulates

43
Q

what are small muscles used for

A

fine motor control

44
Q

describe the role of a motor unit

A
  • nerve impulse is initiated in the motor neuron cell body
  • nerve impulse conducted down the axon of the motor neuron by a nerve action potential to the synaptic cleft
  • neurotransmitter called acetylcholine is secreted into the synaptic cleft to conduct the nerve impulse across the gap to muscle fibres
  • if the electrical charge is above a threshold the muscle fibre will contract
  • tis happens in an “all or none” fashion
45
Q

list 5 functional characteristics of slow oxidative muscle fibres

A
  • high oxidative capacity
  • low anaerobic capacity
  • high resistance to fatigue
  • slow speed of contraction

46
Q

list 5 functional characteristics of fast oxidative glycolytic muscle fibres

A

-fast contractions
-high force of contraction
-moderate oxidative capacity
- high anaerobic capacity

- pink in colour

47
Q

list 5 functional characteristics of fast glycolytic muscle fibres

A

-fastest speed of contractions
-highest force of contractions
-low oxidative capacity
- high anaerobic capacity
