Question
Answer
The three types of muscle are   1.Skeletal(striated) muscle 2.Smooth(visceral) muscle 3.Cardiac muscle  
🗑
Skeletal(striated)muscles are   voluntary(you have control)  
🗑
Smooth(visceral) muscles are   involuntary(autonomic)(you do not have control)  
🗑
Examples of smooth(visceral) muscle are found in the   GI tract(peristalsis), uterus, blood vessels(vasoconstriction & vasodilation), and the urinary bladder  
🗑
Cardiac muscle is   involuntary(you do not have control)  
🗑
Cardiac muscle cells also have the unique ability to   receive an impluse, contract, immediately relax, and then receive another impulse  
🗑
Examples of skeletal(striated) muscles include   1.Biceps brachii(flexes an inferior arm) 2.Triceps brachii(extends an inferior arm)  
🗑
Most voluntary & skeletal muscles are connected to a bone by a strong, tough, nonelastic, white collagenous fibrous cord known as a   tendon  
🗑
Cardiac muscle is unique because when one cardiac muscle cell is stimulated   all the cardiac muscle cells are stimulated  
🗑
The stimulation causes the cardiac muscle cells to   contract together  
🗑
A steady or constant state of partial contraction maintained in a muscle is called   muscle tone  
🗑
Some muscle cells in a muscle will always be contracting while other muscle cells   are at rest  
🗑
Then the other muscles at rest will contract while those that were contracting will go into   relaxation  
🗑
The contracting and relaxing of the muscles allows us to maintain body posture for   long periods of time without tiring  
🗑
The relaxation and contracting of muscles is accomplished because nerve impulses   alternate between various groups of muscle cells thus allowing all to have periods of rest.  
🗑
Two types of muscle contraction include   1.Isotonic 2.Isometric  
🗑
Isotonic contractions occur when   lifting a weight, muscles become shorter and thicker and the tone (tension) remains the same  
🗑
Isometric contractions occur when   pushing against a wall, the muscles involved remain at a constant length and the tone(tension) against the muscle increases  
🗑
The more fixed attachment of a muscle that serve as a basis for the action is the   origin  
🗑
The moveable attachment where the effects of muscular contraction are seen, is called the   insertion  
🗑
Muscles can be named according to their action such as   1.Adductor(movement of a limb TOWARD the midline of the body) 2.Abductor(movement of a limb away from the midline of the body) 3.Flexor(bending a limb at a joint) 4.Extensor(extending a limb at a joint)  
🗑
Muscles can be named according to their shape such as   1.Quadratus(square) 2.Trapezius(triangular)  
🗑
Muscles can be named according to their origin & insertion such as the   sternocleidomastoid(sternum/origin & mastoid/action-insertion/behind ear)  
🗑
Sternocleidomastoid muscles are primarily used to   move the head  
🗑
Muscles can be named according to their location such as   1.Frontalis(forehead) raises your eyebrows 2.Tibialis(anterior inferior leg/shin) 3.Radialis(inferior laterial(thumb side) side  
🗑
Muscles can be named according to the number of divisions such as   1.Biceps brachii(2) 2.Triceps brachii(3) 3.Quadriceps(4)  
🗑
Muscles can be named according to the direction their fibers run such as   transverse(across) or oblique(slanted)  
🗑
Muscles that rotate a limb are called   rotators  
🗑
Movement of the foot upward is called   dorsiflexion  
🗑
Movement of the foot toward the ground is called   plantar flexion  
🗑
Turning a palm so that it faces the ground is called   pronation(face down)  
🗑
The two muscles that cause a palm to face downward are called the   pronator teres & pronator quadratus  
🗑
Turning a palm upwards is called   supination(on back)  
🗑
The muscles that causes a palm to face upward is called the   supinator muscle  
🗑
The muscle that draws the scalp backwards is called the   occipitalis  
🗑
The muscles involved in smiling & laughing are called   zygomaticus(cheek)  
🗑
The muscles that close the jaw are the   masseter & temporalis  
🗑
The muscles that move a scapula include the   1.Levator scapulae(shrug) 2.Rhomboids 3.Pectoralis minor 4.Trapezius  
🗑
The muscle that flexes & adducts(brings in toward the middle) an arm is called the   pectoralis major  
🗑
The muscle that extends, adducts and rotates an arm medially(swimming) is called the   latissimus dorsi  
🗑
The muscle that abducts(move away from middle) and is a site for intramuscular(IM) injections is called the   deltoid  
🗑
The muscle that flexes a wrist is called the   flexor carpi  
🗑
The muscle that extends a wrist is called the   extensor carpi  
🗑
The muscles that flex the fingers or toes are called   flexor digitora  
🗑
The muscles that extend the fingers or toes are called   extensor digitora  
🗑
The muscle that flexes a thumb is called the   flexor pollicis(thumb--text messaging)  
🗑
The muscle that extends a thumb is called the   extensor pollicis(thumb--hitch hike)  
🗑
The muscle that moves a thumb toward midline is called the   adductor pollicis(thumb)  
🗑
The muscle that moves a thumb away from midline is called the   abductor pollicis(thumb)  
🗑
The muscles that make up the abdominal wall include   1.External oblique 2.Internal oblique 3.Transversus abdominis 4.Rectus abdominis(washboard)  
🗑
The muscles that flexes and opposes a thumb & is used when we write is called the(grab things)   opponens pollicis(opposition)  
🗑
The muscles of ventilation include   1.Diaphragm(main muscle of ventilation) 2.Internal intercostals(muscle between ribs) 3.External intercostals(muscle between ribs)  
🗑
The muscles of the buttocks include   1.Gluteus maximus(cheek) 2.Gluteus minimus 3.Gluteus medius(IM injections)  
🗑
The muscles that flex a knee include   1.Biceps femoris 2.Semitendinosus 3.Semimembranosus 4.Popliteus 5.Gracilis 6.Sartorius  
🗑
The biceps femoris, semitendinosus, and semimembranosus, make up the   hamstrings  
🗑
The muscles that extend a knee include   1.Rectus femoris 2.Vastus lateralis(IM injection) 3.Vastus medialis 4.Vastus intermedius  
🗑
The rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis & vastus intermedius make up the   quadriceps femoris group  
🗑
The five muscles that plantar flex a foot (bring it downward) include   1.Gastrocnemius(calf) 2.Tibialis posterior 3.Soleus 4.Peroneus longus 5.Plantaris  
🗑
Two muscles dorsiflex a foot (bring it upward) include   1.Tibialis anterior 2.Peroneus tertius  
🗑
How many skeletal muscles does the human body have   650  
🗑
If all the skeletal muscles worked together, they could lift   11 tons  
🗑
The three IntraMuscular(IM) injection sites are   1.Deltoid muscle 2.Gluteus medius 3.Vastus lateralis(thigh)  
🗑
