Skeletal Muscles Flashcards
Longer Muscle Fibres
greater potential of shortening / movement
Types of Skeletal Muscle
5 Circular Fusiform Flat + aponeurosis Pennate Quadrate
Circular Skeletal Muscle
Orbicularis oris
Fusiform Skeletal Muscle
Bicep Brachii
Flat + aponeurosis
External oblique
Penne
Deltoid
Quadrate
Rectus Abdominus
Tendons
Muscle - bone
Direction of movement of biceps brachii
Anterior shoulder joint
Anterior elbow joint
Anterior proximal radio ulna (SUPINATION)
Deltoid
posterior - extension
middle - abduction
anterior - flexion
Reflexes
nerve connection @ spinal cord level
Deep tendon reflexes
sensory nerver detects stretch —> signal to spinal cord btw sensory/motor nerves
MOTOR NERVE FROM SPINAL CORD TELLS MUSCLE TO CONTRACT
Muscle paralysis
muscle without functioning MOTOR NEVER SUPPLY
Reduced tone
Muscle spasticity
descending CONTROLS FROM THE BRAIN not working
Increased tone
Atrophy
wasting of muscles –> inactivation
