3 Mysiums

22
Q

What is the series elastic component

A

Tendons

23
Q

What does go on slack mean

A

Tissue bunches up

24
Q

What do the PEC provide muscles

A

A safety net

25
Q

As the muscle gets shorter what happens to tension

A

It decreases

26
Q

What is active insufficiency

A

Agonist is too short to produce effective tension thus no ROM

27
Q

True or False:

Active and passive insufficiency applies to bi or multi-articulate muscles

A

True

28
Q

What is passive insufficiency

A

Antagonist is stretched and too long to allow any further motion

29
Q

How do you determine if it is passive insufficiency

A

Passively move limb and if no more motion occurs

30
Q

How do you determine if it is active insufficiency

A

Passively move limb and if more motion occurs

31
Q

What does torque equal

A

Muscle force*Moment arm

32

Bigger

33
Q

When does cross sectional area increase

A

0-20

34
Q

When does cross sectional area start to decrease

A

30s

35
Q

Where can the maximal strength be achieved

A

20-30

36
Q

At age 65 what percent of muscle strength do people have compared to when they were 20

A

85%

37
Q

Where does loss of strength occur more in the legs or arms

A

Legs

38
Q

True or False:

Males tend to be stronger than females

A

True

39
Q

What is the speed of shortening of myofilaments

A

Rate at which myofilaments are able to slide past one another and reform cross bridge

40
Q

A

Slower contraction

41
Q
