Question
Answer
What is reversal of muscle action?   when the origin moves toward the insertion  
🗑
what is the definition of normal resting length?   the length of a muscle when unstimulated & no forces or stresses are placed upon it  
🗑
the definition of muscle irritability   the ability to respond to stimulus  
🗑
definition of contractility   ability to shorten or contract when it receives adequate stimulation  
🗑
definition of extensibility   the ability of a muscle to lengthen or stretch when force is applied  
🗑
definition of elasticity   ability to recoil or return to normal resting length when stretching or shortening force is removed  
🗑
definition of tension   force built up within a muscle  
🗑
passive tension   involves the noncontractile units of a muscle, builds when muscle is stretche  
🗑
active tension   comes from contractile units, can be compared to releasing end of stretched rubber band  
🗑
total tension of muscle   a combination of active and passive tension  
🗑
Tone   the state of readiness of a muscle, slight tension always present in muscle  
🗑
excursion   the distance from max elongation to max shortening (usually 50% longer than muscle at rest)  
🗑
active insufficiency   the point where a muscle cannot shorten any farther, occurs in the agonist (contracting muscle)  
🗑
passive insufficiency   occurs when muscle cannot be elongated any farther without damaging fibers. occurs to the antagonist  
🗑
tenodesis   the functional use of passive insuficiency - eg hand: fingers exten with wrist is flexed, flex when wrist extends  
🗑
