| 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 |
