| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| approximately how many muscles are in the adult body | 600 |
| 3 types of muscle tissue | skeletal,smooth,cardiac |
| attatches to bone to permit voluntary movement | skeletal muscle |
| lines the internal organs and is involuntary | smooth muscle |
| found only in the heart | cardiac muscle |
| provide heat,permit movement,hold head and trunk erect,protect blood vessels and nerves, help venous return,and provides padding for internal organs | functions of skeletal muscle |
| moving away from the body | abduction |
| moving towards the midline of the body | adduction |
| skeletal muscles athat straighten out a joint | extensors |
| skeletal muscles that bend joints | flexors |
| example of a flexor muscle | bicep |
| example of an extensor muscle that straightens the elbow | tricep |
| too much stress on a muscle with physical activity can result in a | strain |
| the thickest, strongest tendon in the body | achilles tendon |
| painful inflammation of the tendons and muscle that usually follows a sports related injury | tendonitis |
| chronic musculoskeletal condition that usually causes widesread pain | fibromyalgia |
| main muscle of the upper chest that extends from the sternum to te upper humerus | pectoralis major |
| muscles found inbetween the ribs that assit the diaphragm during inspiration | intercostal muscles |
| muscle that forms the buttocks and supports most of the weight of the body | gluteus maximus |
| muscle of the anterior upper arm | bicep |
| muscle of the posterior upper arm | tricep |
| inflammation of the fascia | facitis |
| weakness or wearing away of body tissue or structure | atrophy |
| band of fibrous tissue that holds structures together abnormally | adhesion |
| tenderness or pain in the muscles | myalgia |
| lacking normal muscle tone | atonic |
| excessive tone of the skeletal muscles | hypertonic |
| diminished tone of the skeletal muscles | hypotonic |
| inability to coordinate muscle activity during voluntary movement | ataxia |
| permanent tightening of fascia,muscles,tendons,ligaments or skin | contracture |
| a progressive weakness and degeneration of the skeletal muscles that control movement without affecting the nervous system | muscular dystrophy |
| a benign fluid filled swelling that occurs most commonly on the outer surface of the wrist | ganglion cyst |
| injury to a joint that involves a stretched or torn ligament | sprain |
| total paralysis of one side of the body | hemiparesis |
| paralysis from the waist down | paraplegia |
| paralysis of all four extremities | quadriplegia |
| surgical removal of a portion of a muscle | myectomy |
| treatment to prevent disability or restore function using exercise,heat,massage, and other methods | physical therapy |
