Fiber arrangements and muscle shapes

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

Question
Answer
Fiber arrangement affects   1. Muscle's ability to exert F 2. ROM  
🗑
Greater cross section diameter=   Greater F exertion  
🗑
Longer muscle=   Greater ROM  
🗑
2 major types of fiber arrangements   1. Parallel 2. Pennate  
🗑
Parallel Muscles   Fibers arranged parallel to length of the muscle Produce >ROM  
🗑
Types of Parallel Muscles   Flat Fusiform Strap Radiate Sphincter (Circular)  
🗑
Flat   Ex- Rectus Abdominus, External Oblique Thin and broad, originating from sheet like aponeuroses Forces are spread over a broad muscle  
🗑
Fusiform   Ex- Brachialis, Biceps Brachii Spindle-shaped w/ central belly that taper into tendons on each end F is focused onto small, bony targets  
🗑
Strap   Ex-Sartorius Uniform in diameter F is focused onto small bony targets  
🗑
Radiate   Ex-Pectoralis Major, Trapezius Triangular or Fan-Shaped or Convergent Flat+Fusiform  
🗑
Sphincter (Circular)   Ex- Orbicularis Oris Endless Strap Muscles Surrounds openings and functions to close them upon contraction  
🗑
Pennate Muscles   shorter fibers arranged obliquely to their tendons > Cross sectional diameter...> Power  
🗑
Types of Pennate Muscles   Unipennate Bipennate Multipennate  
🗑
Unipennate   Ex- Biceps Femoris, Extensor Digitorum Longus, Tibialis Posterior Fibers run obliquely from tendon on one side ONLY  
🗑
Bipennate   Ex- rectus femoris, flexor hallicus longus Fibers run obliquely on both sides of a central tendon  
🗑
Multipennate   Ex-Deltoid Several tendons with fibers running diagonally btwn them  
🗑
Strongest Contraction produced by   Bipennate and Multipennate  
🗑


   

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.
