Fiber arrangements

Fiber arrangements and muscle shapes

QuestionAnswer
Fiber arrangement affects 1. Muscle's ability to exert F 2. ROM
Greater cross section diameter= Greater F exertion
Longer muscle= Greater ROM
2 major types of fiber arrangements 1. Parallel 2. Pennate
Parallel Muscles Fibers arranged parallel to length of the muscle Produce >ROM
Types of Parallel Muscles Flat Fusiform Strap Radiate Sphincter (Circular)
Flat Ex- Rectus Abdominus, External Oblique Thin and broad, originating from sheet like aponeuroses Forces are spread over a broad muscle
Fusiform Ex- Brachialis, Biceps Brachii Spindle-shaped w/ central belly that taper into tendons on each end F is focused onto small, bony targets
Strap Ex-Sartorius Uniform in diameter F is focused onto small bony targets
Radiate Ex-Pectoralis Major, Trapezius Triangular or Fan-Shaped or Convergent Flat+Fusiform
Sphincter (Circular) Ex- Orbicularis Oris Endless Strap Muscles Surrounds openings and functions to close them upon contraction
Pennate Muscles shorter fibers arranged obliquely to their tendons > Cross sectional diameter...> Power
Types of Pennate Muscles Unipennate Bipennate Multipennate
Unipennate Ex- Biceps Femoris, Extensor Digitorum Longus, Tibialis Posterior Fibers run obliquely from tendon on one side ONLY
Bipennate Ex- rectus femoris, flexor hallicus longus Fibers run obliquely on both sides of a central tendon
Multipennate Ex-Deltoid Several tendons with fibers running diagonally btwn them
Strongest Contraction produced by Bipennate and Multipennate

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.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
