Tutorial 5 - Axial Muscles Flashcards
Muscles make up how much of the human body’s weight?
~50%
What are the functions of muscle tissue?
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
What are the three types of muscles?
- Skeletal muscles
- Cardiac muscles
- Smooth muscles
Skeletal muscles
Attach to bones of the skeleton and contract voluntarily to produce movement
What connects muscles to bones?
Tendons - dense regular connective tissue
What are the 11 regions used to classify muscles of the body?
- Abdomen
- Back
- Head
- Hip
- Gluteal
- Lower limbs
- Upper limbs
- Neck
- Pelvis
- Shoulder girdle
- Thorax
Skeleton: Axial and appendicular
Axial skeleton
- skull/head
- vertebral column
- thoracic cage
Appendicular skeleton (126 bones)
- upper limbs
- lower limbs
- shoulder/pectoral girdle
- pelvic girdle
Head/neck
- aid in swallowing and movements of the head/neck
Suprahyoid muscles:
- digastrics, stylohyoid, mylohyoid, geniohyoid
Infrahyoid muscles :
- omohyoid, sternohyoid, sternothyroid, thyrohyoid
Others:
- anterior/middle/posterior scalene, the splenius, sternocleidomastoid
Shoulder girdle
AKA shoulder joint
- join upper limbs with the axial skeleton
- facilitate the proper rotation of the upper limbs
- coracobrachialis
- pectoralis major
- deltoid (anterior, middle, and posterior heads)
- latissimus dorsi
- teres major
- muscles of the rotator cuff
Back
- paired muscles that act on and support the head, neck, spine, and thoracic cage
- superficial and deep muscles
- deep muscles = intrinsic muscles:
1. erector spinae
2. transversospinalis
3. suboccipital
4. splenius
5. prevertebral
Thorax/Abdomen
- 4 paired muscles
- make up portions of the abdominal wall and act on the abdomen, ribs, and spine
- external oblique
- internal oblique
- transversus abdominis
- rectus abdominis
- pyramidalis
Pelvis/Hip
AKA pelvic diaphragm
- bowl shape to support the reproductive system and parts of the digestive and urinary system
- levator ani
- coccygeus
- iliococcygeus
- internal anal sphincter
- external anal sphincter
- deep transverse perineal
- superficial transverse perineal
- piriformis
- obturator internus
- sacrotuberous ligament
Pelvic diaphragm
muscles of the pelvic floor
Upper limbs
- muscles of the arm
- elbow joint
- forearm
- hand
Lower limbs
- muscles of the thigh (proximal leg)
- leg (distal leg)
- foot
Which three systems interact to produce movement?
Muscular
Nervous
Skeletal
Trace the path from messages to movement
- messages travel through nervous system to skeletal muscles
- motor neurons of the nervous system connect to skeletal muscles via NMJ
- at NMJ neuron releases a neurotransmitter called Acetylcholine
- neurotransmitter binds to receptors on the muscle and begin a chemical reaction within its fibers
- muscle filaments slide across each other and muscles shorten/contract
- movement is produced !
Describe 4 characteristics of skeletal muscles
- striated (actin and myosin)
- motor neurons connect to the skeletal muscle at NMJ
- neurotransmitters are released from motor neuron to skeletal muscle
- excitation (chemical release) and contraction (filaments sliding past each other, muscle shortens and produces movement)
Epimysium
Outer connective tissue layer around a skeletal muscle
Perimysium
Connective tissue layer surrounding fascicles
Endomysium
Connective tissue layer surrounding myofibers
Skeletal Muscle (component breakdown)
Skeletal muscle > fascicles > myofibers > myofibrils
Capillaries and motor neurons
Support myofibers
Myofibrils
thick and thin filaments
Thick filaments
Myosin protein molecules
Thin filaments
actin protein molecules
Sarcomeres
repeating units of thick and thin filaments
Describe the two types of actions in muscle interactions
Paired muscles that perform opposite and opposing actions
- Agonists
- Antagonists
Agonist
generates the main force of an action
- prime mover
- responsible for producing a movement
Antagonist
performs the opposite action
- action opposes agonist
What are the 6 paired actions
flexion - extension
elevation - depression
pronation - supination
flexing - extending
bending - straightening
contracting - relaxing
How are skeletal muscles attached to the skeleton?
via TENDONS
What is the origin on a skeletal muscle
Area where the muscle is attached to 2 articulating bones
- proximal to insertion in anatomical position
- on the fixed bone
What is the insertion point on a skeletal muscle
Area where the muscle is attached to 2 articulating bones
- on the moveable bone
What is the belly or middle of a skeletal muscle
The part of the muscle that shortens
(literally the centre lmfao)
