Muscular Sys. Lesson 1

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Isometric Contraction   Muscle contraction without joint movement  
🗑
Reversal of muscle action   The origin of the contacting muscle moves toward the insertion  
🗑
Isokinetic Contraction   Constant speed with variable resistance / Constant tension of a muscle  
🗑
Assisting mover/ Synergist   Not as powerful as the prime mover/ A muscle that works with one or more other muscles to enhance a particular motion  
🗑
Tone   Slight tension is a muscle  
🗑
Normal Resting Length   Position when muscle is unstimulated  
🗑
Irritability   Ability to receive and respond to a stimulus  
🗑
Contractility   Ability to produce tension  
🗑
Extensibility   Ability to be stretched beyond normal resting length  
🗑
Elasticity   Ability to return to normal length  
🗑
Lengthening contraction is an ex. of   Eccentric Contraction  
🗑
Shortening contraction is an ex. of   Concentric Contraction  
🗑
Insertion moves towards origin is an ex. of   Concentric Contraction  
🗑
Insertion moves away from origin is an ex. of   Eccentric Contraction  
🗑
Muscle contraction moves the body segment against gravity is an ex. of   Concentric contraction  
🗑
Muscle contraction slows the pull of gravity on the body   Eccentric contraction  
🗑
Prime mover/ Agonist   the muscle or muscle group that causes the motion  
🗑
Synergist/Assisting mover   a muscle that works with one or more other muscles to enhance a particular motion  
🗑
Antagonist   the muscle that performs the opposite motion of the agonist  
🗑
Cocontraction   When the antagonist contracts at the same time as the agonist (similar to isometric contraction)  
🗑
Concentric   a muscle contracts and shortens  
🗑
Eccentric   a muscle lengthens as it maintains tension  
🗑
Muscles pull _______________ their origin   toward  
🗑
Closed kinetic chain   requires that the distal segment is fixed (closed) and the proximal segmen(s) moves / weight - bearing  
🗑
Open kinetic chain   the distal segments are free to move while the proximal segments remain stationary  
🗑
Origin   Bony attachment site that is relatively stationary/ beginning  
🗑
Insertion   Bony attachment site that is relatively mobile/ end  
🗑
With a few exceptions, all skeletal muscles cross at least...   one joint  
🗑
Typically, the bulk of a skeletal muscle lies proximal to ...   the joint crossed  
🗑
All skeletal muscles have at least ___________ attachments   two  
🗑
Skeletal muscles can only ________ they never ___________   Pull... push  
🗑
During contraction, skeletal muscles _________ moves towards the ______________   insertion... origin  
🗑
Active insufficiency   when a muscle cannot contract any further  
🗑
Passive insufficiency   when a muscle cannot be elongated any further  
🗑
Muscle fibers in either _____________ or _____________ pattern which favors range or power respectively   Parallel... Oblique  
🗑
Muscle tissue has the properties of...   irritablity, contractility, extensibility, and elasticity  
🗑
Muscle contraction types are...   isometric, concentric, eccentric  
🗑
The role of a muscle depends on the situation. The four roles are...   agonist, antagonist, stabilizer, or neutralizer  
🗑
Kinetic chain movement depends on whether the distal segment is ...   fixed or free to move (closed or open)  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
