Unit 2 PPT Flashcards
What does a extensibility and elasticity do
Enabled the muscle to be stressed and return the normal length
What are tendons continuations of
Muscles connective tissue and also possess extensibility and elasticity
Contractility
The ability to shorten and produced tension
Muscle functions
Flexibility
Strength
Power
Endurance
What does muscle fiber consist of
Myofibrils held together by sarcolemma that can propagate nerve impulses
How are myofibrils arranged
in parallel formation
what are myofibrils made up of
make appearance
alternating dark and light bands that give muscle fiber their striated appearance
what is myofibrils enclosed in
endomysium
what does actin do when stimulated
slides over myosin
cross bridges
projections of myosin attached to actin
what is a myofibril
any of the elongated contractile threads found in striated muscle cells.
consists of a series of sarcomeres
Concentric contractions
Oppose gravity
Action as indicated
Muscles shortens under tension
eccentric contractions
with gravity
action of opposite muscle group
muscle lengthens under tesion
type I muscle fiber
slow oxidative
type IIa muscle fiber
fast oxidative glycolytic
type IIb muscle fiber
fast glycolytic
type 1 slow twitch
characteristics
smaller, red greater blood supply more myoglobin more resistant to fatigue aerobic
type IIb
characteristics
large, pale less blood supply less myoglobin fatigue easier anaerobic
what do most limb muscles contain
relatively equal distribution of each muscle fiber
what do postural muscles contain more of
slow twitch fibers
sarcomere
contractile unit of skeletal muscle
hyperplasia
increase number of fibers
hypertrophy
fibers get larger in size
Reverse muscle action
Occurs when the distal bone is stabilized and the proximal bone moves
Shows what muscle action will occur
Attachment location
Angle of pull
Number of articulations crossed
What determines movement
Type of joint
Spatial relationships
Classification by movement muscles
flexors, extensors
abductors, adductors
rotators
fusiform
classification by fiber arrangement
muscle fibers parallel to long axis
what can fusiform include
longitudinal, quadrate, trianglur
pennate
classification by fiber arrangement
fibers extend from central tendon
what can pennate include
unipenniform
bipenniform
multipenniform
Longitudinal muscle
long, strap like muscle with fibers in parallel to its axis
example of longitudinal muscle
sartorius
quadrate or quadrilateral
four sided and usually flat
example of quadrate muscle
rhomboids
triangular
fibers radiate from a narrow attachment at one end to a broad attachment at the other end
example of triangular muslce
pectoralis major
fusiform or “spindle”
rounded muscle that tapers at either end
example of fusiform muscle
brachioradialis
unipennate
a series of short, parallel, feather like fibers extends diagonally from the side of a long tendon
example of unipennate muslce
tibialis posterior
bipennate
long central tendon with fibers extending diagonally in pairs from either side of the tendon
example of bipennate muscle
rectus femoris
multipennate
several tendons are present, with fibers running diagonally between them
example of multipennate muslce
middle deltoid
mechanical advantage of fusiform
longer fibers
greater ROM
less force production
mechanical advantage of pennate
shorter fibers
less ROM
greater force production
What is proportional two its physiological cross section
Force a muscle can exert
do broad, thick, longitudinal muscle or thin muscle exert more force
broad, thick, longitudinal muslces
does a pennate muscle or a longitudinal muscle of same thickness exert a greater force
pennate muscle
