Question 22

Muscles

Answer 22

Can be fired/stimulated by a motor neuron to try shorten/contract

Question 23

Key actions of muscles

Answer 23

1- to contract/shorten
2- to move/rotate joints

Question 24

Types of muscle contraction

Answer 24

1- Concentric contraction (if the muscle contracts and shortens)
2- Isometric/static contraction (if the muscle contracts and the joints don’t move)
3- Eccentric contraction (once a muscle is firing and tries to shorten, but it is being lengthened by another force like gravity)

Question 25

Nerves

Answer 25

They transmit an electrical signal which for movement, fires muscles

Question 26

Bony features

Answer 26

Attachments of something, part of a joint or something goes through it

Question 27

Ligaments

Answer 27

Rope-like structures (made of collagen) that attach bone to another bone across a joint

Question 28

What do ligaments do?

Answer 28

They restrict, limit and stop movement when they get tight and they guide movement
