Test #6 - Class 10: Muscles 1-4; Class 11: Muscles 12-19 Flashcards
Clay Color: Terra Cotta (TC)
Superficial muscles
Clay Color: Orange (O)
Intermediate muscles
Clay Color: Pink (P)
Deep muscles
Clay Color: Buff (B)
Connective tissue (tendons & ligaments)
Terminology: Muscle Belly
They fleshy, meaty portion of a muscle. It is innervated (nerve supply) & vascular (blood supply).
Terminology: Muscle Tendon
Parallel arranged collagen fibers which attach the muscle belly to bone.
What forces do muscle tendons resist?
Tensile forces (pulling apart)
Terminology: Aponeurosis
A broad sheet-like tendon which attaches muscle to muscle, bone or skin.
Terminology: Origin
The attachment of a muscle to the LESS moveable bone.
Terminology: Insertion
The attachment of muscle to the MORE moveable bone.
New Terminology: Proximal or Superior
Refers to the origin of a muscle attachment.
New Terminology: Distal or Inferior
Refers to the insertion of a muscle attachment.
Terminology: Fasciculi
A grouping of muscle cells surrounded by connective tissue.
How many arrangements of fasciculi?
4 arrangements
What are the 4 arrangements of fasciculi?
- Parallel; 2. Pennate; 3. Convergent; and 4. Circular
Arrangement of Fasciculi: Parallel
The fascicles are lined up in a parallel fashion.
Arrangement of Fasciculi: Pennate
“Winged or feathered”
- Unipennate (|/////); 2. Bipennate (/////|\\); and 3. Multipennate (⫞⫟⫠|⫞⫟⫠)
Arrangement of Fasciculi: Convergent
Fascicles converged at one point.
Arrangement of Fasciculi: Circular
Fascicles are arranged in a circle.
How many ways are skeletal muscles named?
7 ways
What are the 7 ways skeletal muscles are named?
- Relative size; 2. Location; 3. Shape; 4. Direction of muscle fibers; 5. Number of origins; 6. Location of the muscle attachment points; and 7. Action
Naming Skeletal Muscles: Relative Size
e.g. Gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, and gluteus minimus
Naming Skeletal Muscles: Location
e.g. Tibialis anterior
Naming Skeletal Muscles: Shape
e.g. Deltoid (triangular); Trapezius (trapezoidal)
Naming Skeletal Muscles: Direction of Muscle Fibers
e.g. Abdominis: Rectus = parallel to midline; Transverse = perpendicular to midline; Oblique = diagonal to midline
Naming Skeletal Muscles: Number of Origins
e.g. Biceps (2); Triceps (3)
