🗑
What is the inner layer of the articular capsule called?   Synovial membrane -made of loose connective tissue  
🗑
Musles DONT PUSH   Muscles only pull!  
🗑
Flexion   -In anterior and posterior planes -bending of a joints so parts get closer  
🗑
Extension   -Back to the anatomical position  
🗑
Abduction   Away from our midline  
🗑

🗑
Supination   Lateral rotation of the radius (thumbs lateral, anatomical position)  
🗑
Pronation   Medial rotation of the radius (thumbs medial)  
🗑
Protraction   Moving part anteriorly  
🗑
Retraction   Bring protracted part back  
🗑
Elevation   Superior movement  
🗑

🗑
Superficial fascia   -Deep to the skin -made of loose ct -adipose -water  
🗑
Important functions of superficial fascia   -stores water and fat -insulation -protection -pathway for nerves and blood vessels  
🗑
Deep Fascia   -made of dense connective tissue -surrounds organs  
🗑

🗑
Fuctions of muscle tissues   Movement, stability, heat production  
🗑
Kinds of muscle tissue   Cardiac, smooth, skeletal  
🗑
Origin   -Least moveable part of attachment -most proximal end  
🗑
Belly   -muscle portion  
🗑
Insertion   -more moveable point of attachment -Distal End  
🗑
Sphincter   -circular, surrounds and opening  
🗑
Synergistic   -work together to produce a movement  
🗑
Agonist   Muscle that performs most of the work  
🗑
Antagonist   produce opposite movements  
🗑
Fixators   Sabilize joints  
🗑
extrinsic muscles   originate outside but insert inside  
🗑
Intrinsic   completly inside  
🗑
Naming Muscles   -location -shape -action -number of origins -size -direction of fibers  
🗑
What is the name of an individual muscle cell?   myoFIBER  
🗑
What does the sarcolemma surround?   a group of myofibrils  
🗑
Sarcoplasm   -cytoplasm of a muscle cell -contains large amounts of glycosomes and myoglobin  
🗑
What does the sarcoplasmic reticulum divide?   the sarcoplasm into individual myofibrils  
🗑

🗑
I Band   Just thin  
🗑
A Band   Thick and thin  
🗑
H zone   In the middle of an A band, only thick  
🗑

🗑
Thin Filaments   Actin  
🗑
Thin filaments contain what other two molecules?   Tropomyosin (long lines that cover holes) and troponin (holds tropomyosin)  
🗑
Sarcoplasmic reticulum encircles what?   Each myofibril

🗑
If tension is greater then load...   muscle shortens and load moves (isotonic)  
🗑
If load is greater then tension...   muscle is unable to shorten (isometric)  
🗑
SLOW TWITCH   contract slowly tire less quickly small diameter more mitochondria better blood supply more myoglobin dark meat  
🗑
FAST TWITCH   contract quickly tire more easily larger diameter less mitochondria less developed blood supply less myoglobin light meat  
🗑
Effects of Exercise   Hypertrophy - increase in the volume of an organ or tissue due to the enlargement of its component cells. -Increased strength -Increased endurance  
🗑
Flaccid =   no tone  
🗑


   

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.
