Muscles:

Origin, Insertion, and Function

QuestionAnswer
Extracapsular accessory ligament collateral ligament
Intracapsular accessory ligament cruciate ligament
a joint that does not move synarthroses
when a structure moves in an inferior direction depression
foot pointed up- toe to tibia dorsiflexion
turns sole inward (medial) inversion
turns sole outward (lateral) eversion
bone, cartilage &fibrous materials component tissues of a joint
a joint that is freely moveable diarthroses
have joint cavity, articular capsule, & accessory ligaments synovial joints
diarthrotic synovial joints most joints in humans
bones held together by cartilage, NO joint cavity cartilaginous joints
bones held together by dense fibrous CT, NO joint cavity fibrous joints
a joint that has some limited motion amphiarthroses
increase or decrease the angle between bones angular movements
one surface moves back & forth or side to side against another gliding movement
away from midline or spreading fingers abduction
inner layer of articular capsule, secretes synovial fluid synovial membrane
typical football injuries collateral ligament (medial), cruciate (anterior), cartilage (medial)
surrounds joints, encloses joint cavity articular capsule
distal end of bone moves in a circle while proximal end remains stable circumduction
movement of a bone around it’s long axis rotation
covers articulating surfaces of bone articular cartilage
aphiarthrotic, occurs where constructing material is fibrocartilage synphysis
turns palms of hand forward supination
bending head backwards, past anatomical position hyperextension
synchondroses, symphysis types of cartilaginous joints
cone shaped peg fits into socket gomphoses
teeth into alveolar processes gomphoses
amphiarthrotic, much more fibrous CT between bones syndesmoses
complete fusion of bone at suture lines synostoses
regular margins come together: maxillary bones plane suture
margins of one bone overlaps adjacent bone: squamosal suture squamous suture
sagittal suture (between parietal bones) serrate suture
serrate, squamous, plane types of sutures
moving a part of the body posteriorly in a horizontal plane retraction
e.g. epiphyseal plate synchondroses
increases angle between anterior surfaces except knee extension
decreases angle between anterior surfaces except knee flexion
extension at ankle- foot points backward plantar flexion
place where two bones come together articulation
pads of fibrocartilage articular discs
allow bone to move independently, maintains joint stability articular discs
toward midline adduction
when a structure moves in a superior direction elevation
turn palms backward pronation
hyaluronic acid & interstitial fluid synovial fluid
suture, syndesmoses, gomphoses types of fibrous joints
moving a part of the body anteriorly in a horizontal plane protraction
gliding, hinge, pivot, condyloid, saddle, ball and socket types of synovial joints
ability to shorten and thicken in response to stimuli contractility
ability to stretch extensibility
ability to return to normal shape after stretching elasticity
CT components of muscle epimysium, perimysium, endomysium
Region where communication takes place synapse
Gap or space between somatic motor neuron & muscle fiber/cell synaptic cleft
Acetylcholine neurotransmitter that causes contraction
Caused by limited amount of residual ATP rigor mortis
Without muscle tone flaccid
Reduction of muscle size, tone & power atrophy
Enlargement of muscle hypertrophy
Each muscle fiber either contracts completely or doesn’t contract at all all or none principle
Muscles whose actions oppose that of an agonist antagonist
Increase in concentration of Ca++ causes_________ muscle contraction
Decrease in concentration of Ca++ does _________ stops muscle contraction
When it contracts, it assists the agonist synergist
When agonists and antagonists contract at the same time fixator
Blood cell production hemopoiesis
Most of CO2 travels as _____________ bicarbonate ion

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.
