Question | Answer |
Origin | attachment of muscle tendon to stationary bone |
Insertion | the attachment of muscle other tendon to movable bone |
Belly | fleshy portion of the muscle between the tendons |
Reverse muscle action (RMA) | during specific movements of the body actions are reversed ;positions of origin and insertion of specific muscle are switched |
Lever | rigid structure that can move around a fixed point called a fulcrum |
Fulcrum | fixed point in lever symbolized by F |
Effort | causes movement; force exerted by muscle contraction |
load or resistance | opposes movement ;weight of body part that is moved |
Motion | occurs when the effort applied to a bone at the insertion exceeds the load |
Mechanical Advantage | If the load is closer to the fulcrum and the effort farther from the fulcrum, then only a relatively small effort is required to move a large load over a small distance |
Mechanical Disadvantage | Load farther from the fulcrum and the effort is applied closer to the fulcrum then a relatively large effort is required to move a small load (but at greater speed) |
First Class lever | fulcrum is between effort and load |
Second class lever | load between fulcrum and effort |
Third Class Lever | effort is between fulcrum and load |
Fascicles | form one of five patterns with respect to tendons : parallel ,fusiform, circular triangular, or pennate |
fusiform | spindle shaped, narrow toward the ends and wide in the middle |
pennate | shaped like a feather |
Fascicular arrangement | often represents a compromise between power and range of motion. Example: pennate, parralell |
Pennate muscles (fascicular arrangement) | hane large number of short fibered fascicles distributed over their tendons , giving them greater power but a smaller ROM |
Parallel muscles (fascicular arrangement) | have few fascicles, but have long fibers that extend the length of the muscle, so they hane a greater ROM than pennate |
Prime mover (agonist)=leader | contacts to cause an action |
Antagonist(anti-=against) | stretches and yields to the effects of prime mover |
Synergists (syn-=together;-ergon=work) | To prevent unwanted movements at intermediate joints or to otherwise aid the movement of prime mover, synergists contract and stabilize intermediate joints |
Fixators | steady the proximal end of a limb while movements occur at distal ends |
Intramuscular injection | To avoid injury, IM are given deep within the muscle, away from major nerves and blood vessels. IM have a faster speed of delivery than oral medications but are slower than IV infusions. |
Compartment | group of muscle cells , their associated blood vessels and associated nerves , all of which have common function |
Parallel | fascicle parallel to longitudal axis of muscle; terminate at either end in flat tendons |
Fusiform | fascicles nearly parallel to longitudinal axis of muscle ; terminate in flat tendon; muscle tapers toward tendons, where diameter is less than in belly |
Curcular | fascicles in concentric circular components form sphincter muscles that in close an orifice |
Orifice | Opening |
Triangular | fascicles spread over broad area converge at thick central tendon, gives muscle a triangular apearance |
Pennate | Short fascicles in relation to total muscle length, tendon extends nearly entire length of muscle |
Unipennate | Fascicles arranged on only one side of tendon |
Bipennate | fasciclearranged on both sides of centrally positioned tendons |
Multipennate | Fascicles attach obliquely from many directions to several tendons |
