Trail Guide Tips Flashcards
The muscle the resists the agonist is
The antagonist
A muscle that carries out an action is
Agonist
What three physical characteristics help to distinguish muscle from other tissues
Striated texture, direction of the muscle fiber, relaxed(soft, malleable) or contracted ( firm, solid).
To distinguish a tendon from a ligament
Explore its attachment and variable tension
Three types of connective tissue that are palpable
Adipose tissue, retinaculum, fascia
A sharp, shooting sensation felt locally or down the corresponding appendage during palpation may be caused by
Compression or impingement of a nerve
A Voluntary contractile tissue that moves the skeleton
Muscle
It has two type-superficial and deep
Fascia
A vessel easily seen on the dorsal surface of the hand
Vein
A vessel in which a pulse can be felt
Artery
A small, fluid-filled sac that reduces friction between two structures
Bursa
A broad, flat tendon
Aponeurosis
A structure connecting bones together at a joint
Ligament
Easy to distinguish by its solid feel
Bone
Bean-shaped, ranging in size from pea-to almond size
Lymph node
A tube-shaped, vessel that becomes tender when compressed
Nerve
A transverse thickening of deep fascia, strapping down tendons
Retinaculum
The largest organ in the body
Skin
Attaches muscle to bone
Tendon
Tissue with a gelatinous consistency
Adipose
Endomysium
Surrounding individual muscle fibers ( deepest)
Perimysium
Enveloping each fascicle ( bundle of fibers) ( superficial to the endomysium)
Epimysium
Wrapping around the entire muscle belly ( superficial to the perimysium but deep to the fascia)
A muscle that supports the agonist?
Synergist
