Axial Muscles

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

Answer
The body has more than how many muscles   600  
🗑
How much of our body weight is skeletal   40% to 50%  
🗑
What determines purposeful body movement   The manner in which muscles are grouped, the relationship of muscles to joints, and how muscles attach to the skeleton  
🗑
Connective Tissue Components   1)Endomysium 2) Perimysium 3)Epimysium  
🗑
Epimysium can   Fuse to become a tendon or aponeurosis  
🗑
The Endomysium   a delicate connective tissue membrane that covers skeletal muscle fibers (individual muscle fibers)  
🗑
The Perimysium   a tough connective tissue binding fascicles (envelopes bundles of muscle fiber)  
🗑
The epimysium   a coarse sheath covering the muscle as a whole  
🗑
Parallel muscle shapes   long with tendinous intersection/ Rectus abdominis, Sartorius (most typical shape)  
🗑
Convergent muscle shape   Pectoralis major (blades in a fan)  
🗑
Pennate muscle shape   Unipennate, Bipennate, Multipennate, Flexor pollicis longus, Rectus femoris and Deltoid (feather like)  
🗑
Fusiform muscle shape   Brachioradialis (parallel in the center or "belly" of the muscle but converge to a tendon at one end or both)  
🗑
Spiral muscle shape   Latissimus dorsi (twist between point of attachment)  
🗑
circular muscle shape   Orbicularis oris ( found around the mouth, eye and sphincters around the anus)  
🗑
What is the Origin   The point of attachment that does not move when the muscle contracts  
🗑
What is the Insertion   The point of attachment that moves when the muscle contracts  
🗑
The Origin bone is   The more stationary of the two bones at a joint when contractions occur  
🗑
Muscles have multiple   points of origins or insertions  
🗑
Origins and insertion   are points that may change under certain circumstances.  
🗑
Muscle contraction move bones which serve as   Levers, and by acting on joints, which serve as fulcrums for those levers  
🗑
What movements are produced by the coordinated action of several muscles   1) Prime movers 2)Agonist 3)Antagonist 4)Synergists 5) Fixator muscle  
🗑
A prime mover is   A muscle that directly performs a specific movement  
🗑
A Agonists is   any mover muscles that directly perform a movement, including the prime mover  
🗑
Antagonists are   muscles that directly oppose prime movers when contracting; they relax while the prime mover is contracting to produce movement  
🗑
Antagonists also   provide precision and control durning contraction of prime movers  
🗑
Synergist are   muscles that contract at the same time as the PRIME MOVERS they facilitate prime mover actions to produce a efficient movement  
🗑
Fixator muscles are   joint stabilizers  
🗑
The Posterior portion of the deltoid muscle tenses to stabilize the shoulder joint, thus acting as a what   fixator muscles  
🗑
A Lever system is composed of four parts, what are they   1) Ridget bar(bone) 2) Fulcrum (joint in which the rod moves) 3) Load ( moves) 4) Pull that produces movement /muscle contraction  
🗑
In the Human body   bones serve as levers, and joints serve as fulcrums  
🗑
The third class levers is   the most commonly used in the body  
🗑
Flexing the forearm at the elbow joint   is a commonly used example of a third-class lever  
🗑
Muscles are named according to one or more of the following   1)Location, Function and type 2) Direction of fibers 3) Number of heads or divisions 4)Points of attachment/ Origin and insertion points 5) Relative size/ small medium or large  
🗑


   

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.
