Muscles 2nd Quiz Liz
Liz's 2nd Muscle Quiz (O,I,A)
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Slack | Passively do the muscle action.(You do it for them) |
| Antagonist | Muscle capable of performing the OPPOSITE action to that of the agonist (& its synergists)Passive Muscle |
| Synergist | A muscle that ASSIST the agonist in a given action at a giving joint; Usually weaker than the agonist Active Muscle |
| Agonist or Prime Movers | The muscle that is STRONGER in a given action at a given joint Active Muscle (strongest muscles) |
| Stretch | Perform actions that are opposite the muscle's action. |
| Fixator | These muscles STABILIZE the joint during movement. |
| Flexors | Muscles that cross the long axis of a joint anteriorly (except knee, which crosses the joint posteriorly) will most likely flex that joint. |
| Extensors | Muscles that cross a joint posteriorly (except knee, which crosses the joint anteriorly) |
| Abductors | muscles that cross a joint laterally |
| Adductors | muscles that cross a joint medially |
| Rotators | muscles that cross a joint obliquely |
| Isotonic | (same tension)-length of muscles changes during contraction. 2 types |
| Isotonic Contraction Concentric - | muscle SHORTENS during contraction- insertion moves towards origen (or vice versa) |
| Isotonic Contraction Eccentric | muscles LENGHTENS during contraction- origen and insertion move further apart |
| Isometric | muscle length does not change |
