Question | Answer |
---|---|
how many muscles are in the human body | 600 |
how do muscular activity increase body heat | heat is released when the energy is used |
functions of muscles | 6 total |
function 1 of muscles | heat |
function 2 of muscles | ability to move |
function 3 of muscles | structure of the body & hold the body up |
function 4 of muscles | protect blood vessels and nerves |
function 5 of muscles | protective padding for delicate organs |
function 6 of muscles | giving shape to the body |
how many types of muscles | 3 types |
first type of muscle | skeletal |
second type of muscle | smooth |
third type of muscle | cardiac muscle |
when muscles contract what happens | they become shorter and thicker |
what is a skeletal muscle that bends a joint | flexor |
what is the action of straightening the joint muscle | extensor muscle |
the flexor and extensor are know as a | muscle team |
muscles can only pull not push | true |
muscles that contract extremities away from the midline of the body | abduction muscles |
muscles that contract towards the boday are called | adduction muscles |
most skeletal muscles are partially contracted for what reason | to keep the body erect position |
the constant state of contractions is known as | muscle tone |
some connective tissue sheath extend to form a strong fibrous structure know as a | tendon |
tendons connect to | rough surfaces of a bone |
what is the thickest and strongest tendon in the body | the achilles tendon |
another form of muscular attachment is by | fascia |
a tough membrane that forms sheaths covers and protects the muscle tissue | fascia |
when skeletal muscles join bone that meet at joints that is called | origin |
the bone to be moved becomes the | insertion |
to reduce friction and protect the muscles from each other they are seperated by groups of | sheaths |
a sheath which is shaped like a sac and has slippery fluid is known as a | bursa |
the most common locations for bursae are in the | elbow, knee, and shoulder |
smooth muscles are found throughout the internal organs and body which are controlled automatically by | signals from the autonomic nervous system |
donut shaped muscles structures that have the ability to remain contracted for long periods of time | sphincter |
painful inflammation of the tendon and tendon muscle attachments to bone | tendonitis |
inflammation of the bursa that cover and lubricates the muscles and tendons | bursitis |
inflammation of the forearm tendon at the attachment on the humerus at the elbow | epicondylitis (tennis elbow) |
a group of congenital disorders resulting in progressive wasting away of skeletal muscles | muscular dystrophy |
a neck deformity caused by sortening or spasm of the neck muscle | toticollis |
modalities and techniques how many types | 7 total/heat/cold/electricity/water/light/mechanical maneuvers/exercise |
what are some of the purposes of the physical therapy | relieve pain/increase circulation/restore and improve muscular function/build strength/increase range of motion |
common rule for croytherapy | cold for the first 24 hrs then heat |
