Q

What are the functions of muscle tissue?

A

Skeletal Muscles
- move the body by responding to signals from the nervous system
ex: Brachial muscles - flexing

Cardiac Muscles
- responds to involuntary signals from its own conduction system
ex: Heartbeats

Smooth Muscles
- respond to hormones and involuntary signals from the nervous system
- contract and relax to contain substances and move substances through the body
ex: Esophagus - peristalsis

Q

Trace the path from messages to movement

A
  1. messages travel through nervous system to skeletal muscles
  2. motor neurons of the nervous system connect to skeletal muscles via NMJ
  3. at NMJ neuron releases a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine
  4. neurotransmitter binds to receptors on the muscle and begin a chemical reaction within its fibers
  5. muscle filaments slide across each other and muscles shorten/contract
  6. movement is produced !

Q

Describe 4 characteristics of skeletal muscles

A

  2. motor neurons connect to the skeletal muscle at NMJ
  3. neurotransmitters are released from motor neuron to skeletal muscle
  4. excitation (chemical release) and contraction (filaments sliding past each other, muscle shortens and produces movement)

Thorax
- assist in inspiration

136

137
Q

What are the five types of movement in anatomic position?

A

Flexion
Extension
Abduction
Adduction
Circumduction

138
Q

What is flexion

A

movement in the anterior-posterior sagittal plane
- decreases angle

139
Q

What is extension

A

anatomical position is full extension of a muscle

  • hypertension is extension beyond the anatomical position
  • increases angle
140
Q

What is abduction

A

movement AWAY from the longitudinal axis (midline) in the frontal plane

141
Q

What is adduction

A

movement TOWARD the longitudinal axis (midline) in the frontal plane

142
Q

What is circumduction

A

movement of the arm in a circle but not rotating

143
Q

Describe flexion and extension

A

movement at the hinge joints of long bones
- movement of the AXIAL skeleton

144
Q

Describe abduction and adduction

A

movement of the APPENDICULAR skeleton

145
Q

What are the three different types of flexion/extension

A

lateral flexion - vertebral column bends side to side

dorsiflexion - ankle flexion

plantar flexion - called flexion but is ankle extension

146
Q

What is hyperextension

A

extension beyond the anatomical position

147
Q

What are the two types of rotation

A
  1. head and trunk rotation
  2. limb rotation
148
Q

What is head and trunk rotation

A

rotation at the atlanto-axial joint (head and neck) right and left

149
Q

What is limb rotation

A

medial or lateral rotation

150
Q

What is medial rotation

A

inward rotation

= anterior surface turned towards midline

151
Q

What is lateral rotation

A

outward rotation

= anterior surface turned away from midline

152
Q

What is forearm rotation (2)

A

pronation and supination

153
Q

Pronation

A

turning the palms facing forward in anatomical position to back

154
Q

Supination

A

turning the palms from back in anatomical position to forward

155
Q

What are the five types of special movements?

A
  • opposition
  • protraction
  • retraction
  • inversion
  • eversion
156
Q

Opposition

A

moving your thumb to touch other digits

157
Q

Protraction and retraction (Compare and contrast)

A

protraction = moving forward/anteriorly
retraction = moving backward/posteriorly

ex: jutting the jaw and retracting the jaw

158
Q

Inversion and eversion (Compare and contrast)

A

inversion = moving the foot towards the midline
eversion = moving the foot away from the midline

159
Q

What is an action (origin and insertions)

A

action = movement produced when a muscle contracts

160
Q

What is a synergist

A
  • aids agonist
  • prevents movement at another joint (fixators)
161
Q

Anterior

162
Q

External

A

on the outside

163
Q

Inferior

164
Q

Internal

Q

Medial

167
Q

Oblique

168

  2. muscles of the vertebral column
  3. abdomen
  4. pelvis
183
Q

Muscles of the head and neck

A

NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN

  • facial expression muscles, extrinsic eye muscles, tongue, pharynx, and neck muscles
184
Q
