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.)

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

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)

The infraspinatus is one of four muscles that make up the rotator cuff, which helps your arm and shoulder move and stay stable. Your infraspinatus is in the back of your shoulder. It attaches the top of your humerus (the top bone in your arm) to your shoulder, and it helps you rotate your arm to the side. Infraspinatus is the main external rotator of the shoulder joint. It assists in producing shoulder extension. With the arm fixed, it abducts the inferior angle of the scapula.

Insertion: Greater tubercle of humerus.

Laterally rotates arm at shoulder joint.
