Week 4 // Muscular Tissue AND Muscular System Flashcards
1
Q

Skeletal muscle
Cardiac muscle
Smooth muscle
2
Q
What is the function and location of skeletal muscles?
A
Skeletal, function is to move bones.
3
Q
What is the function and location of cardiac muscles?
A
In heart, function is to pump blood.
4
Q
What is the function and location of visceral (smooth) muscles?
A
various organs, various functions (ex. paristalsis)
5
Q
What is the appearance of skeletal, cardiac and smooth muscle tissue?
A
skeletal: multi-nucleated and striated
cardiac: one nucleus, striated, intercalated disks
6
Q
What are the functions of muscular tissue?
A
- Generating heat
- Producing body movements
- Stabilizing body positions
- Storing and mobilizing substances within the body
(In a less known but critically important role, muscle influences energy and protein metabolism throughout the body. Muscle is a primary site for glucose uptake and storage, and it is also a reservoir of amino acids stored as protein.)
7
Q
Properties of muscular tissue?
A
- Electrical excitability
- Contractility
- Extensibility
- Elasticity
8
Q
How are muscles formed?
A
Myoblasts
9
Q
How do skeletal muscles produce movements?
A
Skeletal muscles produce movements by exerting force on tendons
Tendons attach to and pull on bones, and movement occurs
10
Q
Origin and Insertion
A
When a muscle contracts, it draws one articulating bone toward the other
Origin – the attachment to the stationary bone
Insertion – the attachment to the moveable bone
11
Q
Lever Systems and Leverage
Levers are acted upon by ____ and ________
A
The lever is acted on by:
Load (Resistance)
Effort
12
Q
Bones serve as levers and joints serve as
________
A
fulcrums
13
Q
What is a lever?
A
Lever is a rigid structure that can move around a fixed point called a fulcrum
14
Q
First Class Lever
A
Load and effort on opposite sides of fulcrum.
15
Q
Second Class Lever
A
Load and Effort on same sides as fulcrum, the effort is farthest away from fulcrum.
(wheelbarrel)
16
Q
Third Class Lever
A
Load and Effort on same sides as fulcrum.
Load is farthest away from fulcrum.
(Picking something up, biceps)
17
Q
How are most skeletal muscles arranged?
A
most skeletal muscles are arranged in opposing pairs at joints
18
Q
Agonist/prime mover
A
biceps brachii (add from text)
19
Q
Antagonist
A
Triceps brachii muscle must relax to allow biceps to move
20
Q
Synergist
A
During forearm flexion, for example lifting a cup, a muscle called the biceps brachii is the prime mover. Because it can be assisted by the brachialis, the brachialis is called a synergist in this action
(Smaller muscles that help Agonist and Antagonist muscles to finish movements)

144
\* Which type of muscles are generally on the back of the hand? \*
Extensors
145
posterior proximal leg (back of thigh) main muscles
146
Iliopsoas / Psoas major
(SŌ-as MĀ-jor; psoa = a muscle of the loin; major = larger)
O: Transverse processes and bodies of lumbar vertebrae.
I: With iliacus into lesser trochanter of femur.
Psoas: each of a pair of large muscles which run from the lumbar spine through the groin on either side and, with the iliacus, flex the hip. Psoas major and iliacus muscles act together to flex thigh at hip joint, rotate thigh laterally, and flex trunk on hip as in sitting up from supine position.
147
Iliacus
(il′-ē-A-cus; iliac = ilium)
O: Iliac fossa and sacrum.
I: With psoas major into lesser trochanter of femur.
(Moves hip)
148
Gluteus maximus
O: Iliac crest, sacrum, coccyx, and aponeurosis of sacrospinalis.
I: Iliotibial tract of fascia lata and superior lateral part of linea aspera (gluteal tuberosity) under greater trochanter of femur.
Extends and laterally rotates hip joint.
149
Gluteus medius
O: Lateral surface of ilium.
I: Greater trochanter of femur.
Abducts and medially rotates hip joint.
150
Gluteus minimus
O: Lateral surface of ilium.
I: Greater trochanter of femur.
Abducts and medially rotates hip joint.
151
Tensor fasciae latae
(TEN-sor FA-shē-ē LĀ-tē; tensor = makes tense; fasciae = band; lat = wide)
Lateral surface of anterior iliac crest and anterior superior iliac spine.
Tibia by way of iliotibial tract.
Flexes and abducts hip joint.
152
Tensor fasciae latae
O: Lateral surface of anterior iliac crest and anterior superior iliac spine.
I: Tibia by way of iliotibial tract.
Flexes and abducts hip joint.
153
Piriformis
O: Anterior sacrum.
I: Superior border of greater trochanter of femur.
Laterally rotates and abducts hip joint.
154
Quadratus femoris
(kwod-RĀ-tus FEM-or-is; quad = square, four-sided; femoris = femur)
O: Ischial tuberosity.
I: Elevation superior to mid-portion of intertrochanteric crest (quadrate tubercle) on posterior femur.
Laterally rotates and stabilizes hip joint.
155
Adductor magnus
O: Inferior ramus of pubis and ischium to ischial tuberosity.
I: Linea aspera of femur.
Adducts thigh at hip joint and rotates thigh; anterior part flexes thigh at hip joint, and posterior part extends thigh at hip joint.
156
Pectineus
O: Superior ramus of pubis.
I: Pectineal line of femur, between lesser trochanter and linea aspera.
Flexes and adducts thigh at hip joint.
