Test 3 Flashcards
What does axial musculature arise from and attach to?
Axial Skeleton
What does the appendicular musculature control?
It moves and stabilizes components of the appendicular skeleton (girdles and limbs)
What muscles make up the rotator cuff?
Subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, and teres minor
List the muscles that flex the elbow.
Brachialis and brachioradialis
List the muscles that pronate the forearm.
Pronator teres muscle and pronator quadratus muscle
List the muscles that flex the wrist.
flexor carpi ulnaris, flexor carpi radialis, and palmaris longus
List the muscles that move the wrist
Extensor carpi radialis and extensor carpi ulnaris
List the flexors of the leg
Piriformis muscle and obturator muscles
Axial muscles control the action of what structures?
Head, neck, vertebral column, oblique and rectus muscles
List the muscles that extend the leg
vastus intermedius, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, and rectus femoris
What is the most common lever system?
Tweezers: weight-work-fulcrum
List the two main divisions of the nervous system
Central Nervous System and Peripheral Nervous System
What make up the PNS?
Cranial and spinal nerves
What are the effectors?
Muscles or glands
List the functions of the neuroglia
Provide a supportive scaffolding for neurons. And cover all nonsynaptic parts of the neurons (thereby insulating the neurons and keeping the electrical activities of adjacent neurons from interfering with each other)
List the components of a neuron
Dendrite, axon, axon hillock, soma, axon terminal, ganglia, chromatophilic (nissl) bodies, and neurofibrals
List the neuroglia cells
Microglia, astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, and ependymal
Define axon hillock
Base of axon
Define axon terminal
Knob-like end of an axon
What is the structural classification of a neuron based on?
bipolar, fused dendrites, and axon
