| Muscle Compartments | A Group of functionally related muscles enclosed and separated from others by connective tissue fascia |
| What does the muscle compartments contain | Nerves, blood vessels that supply the muscle group |
| Example of muscle compartments | Thoracic, abdominal walls, limbs |
| Indirect attachment to bone | Tendons |
| Tendons | Bridge the gap between muscle ends and bony attachment |
| Examples of tendons | Biceps brachii, achilles tendon |
| Characteristics of tendons | Collagen fibers of the endo-, peri-, and epimysium continue into the tendon From there into the periosteum and the matrix of bone Very strong structural continuity from muscle to bone |
| Direct (fleshy) attachment to bone characteristics | Little separation between muscle and bone Muscle seems to immerse directly from bone |
| Examples of direct attachments | Margins of brachial is, lateral head of triceps brachii |
| Origin | Bony attachment at stationery end of muscle |
| Belly | Thicker, middle region of muscle between origin and insertion |
| Insertion | Bony attachment to mobile end of muscle |
| Which muscles do not insert on bone but the fascia or tendon of another muscle or on collagen fibers of the dermis | Distal tendon of the biceps brachia inserts on the fascia of the forearm Fascial muscles insert on the skin |
| Action | The effects produced by a muscle - To produce or prevent movement |
| What are the four categories of action | Prime mover (agonist), synergist, antagonist, fixator |
| Prime mover (agonist) | Muscle that produces most of the force during a joint action |
| Synergist | Muscle that aids the prime mover -Stabilizes the nearby joint -Modifies the direction of movement |
| Antagonist | Opposes the prime mover -Relaxes to give prime mover control over an action -Preventing excessive movement and injury |
| Fixator | Muscle that prevents movements of bone |
| Example of Prime mover (agonist) | Brachialis |
| Example of Synergist | Biceps Brachii |
| Example of Antagonist | Triceps brachii |
| Example of Fixator | Muscle that holds scapula firmly in place -Rhomboids |
| Intrinsic muscles | Entirely contained within a region, such as the hand -Both origin and insertion |
| Extrinsic muscles | Act on a designated region, but has its origin elsewhere -Fingers: extrinsic muscles in the forearm |
| Blood supply to muscles | Muscular system receives about 1.24L of blood per minute at rest (1/4 of the blood pumped by the heart) |
| Hernias | Any condition in which the viscera protrudes through a weak point in the muscular wall of the abdominopelvic cavity |
| Compartment Syndrome | Fasciae of arms and legs enclose muscle compartments very snugly |
| What happens if a blood vessel in a compartment is damaged | Blood and tissue accumulate in the compartment |
| Example of fusiform muscle | Biceps brachii |
| Example of parallel muscle | Rectus abdominis |
| Example of triangular muscle | Pectoralis major |
| Example of unipennate muscle | Palmar interosseous |
| Example of bipennate muscle | Rectus femoris |
| Example of multipennate muscle | Deltoid |
| Example of circular muscle | Orbicularis Oculi |
