Anatomy 2031

Anatomy and Physiology Century 2031Chapters 10, 11, 12

QuestionAnswer
Muscular attachment sites: Define ORIGIN the bone that does not move when muscles shorten
Define Insertion the movable bone
Coordination within muscles groups: Define Prime Mover: Contracts to cause the desired action
Antagonist Stretches and yields to prime mover
Synergist contract to stabilize nearby joints
Fixators stabilize the origin of the prime mover
Muscles of Facial Expression: Orbicularis Oculi closes the eye
Levator palpebrae superior's opens the eye
Orbicularis oris puckers the mouth
Buccinator forms the muscular portion of the cheek and assists in whistling, blowing, sucking and chewing
What muscle elevates the mandible? Temporails and masseter
What retracts the mandible? Temporalis
What elevates and protracts the jaw? Pterygoids
What helps to move jaw and grind food? Pterygoids, temporalis and buccinator
What muscle moves the head and neck? Sternocleidomastoid - rotates head, extends head, flexes neck
Rectus abdominis six pack
External Obliques forms the V
Internal Obliques forms the A
Transverse abdominis deep to the rectus abdominis
Name the 2 muscles involved in breathing in? External intercostal and diaphragm
Name the muscles that move the arm? Pectoralis Major, Latissimus dorsi, deltoid, rotator cuff muscles (supraspinatus and infraspinatus)
What are the flexors of the forearm? Biceps brachii (shoulder), brachialis, brachioradialis (elbow)
What is the extensor of the forearm? Tricepts brachii - extends elbow and shoulder joint.
What are the muscles that pronate and flex the palm? Pronator Teres - turns palm of hand down towards floor Supinator - deeper and returns palm/hand back to anatomical Flexor Carpi, Flexor digitorum, Flexor pollicis
What are the muscles that extend the wrist and fingers? Extensor carpi, digitorum, pollicis, indicis
What are the muscles that cross the hip joint? Iliopsoas - allows us to flex the hip joint Quadriceps femoris, and adductor muscles
What are the muscles of the Butt and Thigh? Gluteus muscles - maxiums, medius and minimus Hamstring muscles
What is the muscle of the Calf? (posterior leg) Gastrocnemius
What are the muscles of the leg and foot? tibialis anterior extensor digitorum longus extensor hallucis longus
Name the 3 basic functions of the Nervous System: SIM Sensory function - afferent neurons Integrative function - associative neurons or interneurons Motor function - The do it part, motor efferent neruons sends the msg to the muscle pathway
Name the structures of the Nervous system: Brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, ganglia,sensory receptors
Name the two major divisions of the Nervous system: Central Nervous System CNS Peripheral Nervous System PNS
What does the Central Nervous System consist of? Brain and Spinal Cord
What does the Peripheral Nervous System consist of? Everything else other than the brain and spinal cord, connects CNS to muscles glands and all sensory receptors.
What are the subdivisions of the PNS? Somatic Nervous System - Voluntary, we have to command to use this Autonomic Nervous System
Name of the parts of a Neuron in order: DCBA Dendrite - input and receiving area Cell Body - Nucleus and decision making area Axon - conducts nerve pulses from nerve to nerve.
What are the structural classifications of Neurons? Multipolar, bipolar and unipolar
Define multipolar neurons: they have many dendrites and one axon. most common cell type, can be sensory, intermeurons or motor neurons
Define bipolar neurons: has one main dendrite and one axon, found in retina, inner ear and olfactory, these are sensory only
Define unipolar neurons: can only handle one process, are always sensory neurons
What are Neuroglial cells? Nervous system support -smaller than neurons -50x more numerous -is half the volume of the CNS
What is Action Potential? is a sequence of rapidly occurring events that decrease and eventually reverse the membrane potential and then restore it to th resting state.
What is the All-or-None principle? if a stimulus reaches threshold, the action potential is always the same.
What are the two types of signal transmission synapses? Electrical type Chemical type
What are electrical type synapses? they are fast, two-way transmission capable of sync groups of neurons. Uses ionic current to spread to next cell through gap junctions.
What are chemical type synapses? One-way info transfer from presynaptic neuron to a photosynaptic neuron or other cell. These can connect to each other, neuron to neuron, or neuron to other cell
Name the types of Neurotransmitters? Excitatory and inhibitory
What are special characteristics of neurotransmitters? -present in both CNS and PNS - the same neurotransmitter may be an excitatory in some areas of the body and inhibitory in others.

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.
