Chapter 11 - Skeletal Muscle Movements Flashcards
origin
attachment of a muscle’s tendon to the movable bone
insertion
attachment of the muscle’s other tendon to the movable bone
belly (body)
fleshy portion of the muscle between tendons
actions
main movements that occur when the muscle contracts
reverse muscle action (rma)
during specific movements of the body the actions are reversed; the positions of the origin and insertion of a specific muscle are switched
lever
rigid structure that can move around a fixed point
fulcrum
fixed point
A lever is acted on by two forces
effort
resistance
effort
causes movement
resistance/load
opposes movement
mechanical advantage
load is closer to the fulcrum and the effort farther from the fulcrum, a relatively small effort is required to move a large load over a small distance
mechanical disadvantage
a load is farther from the fulcrum and the effort is applied closer to the fulcrum, a relatively large effort is required to move a small load (at greater speed)
Three types of levers
first class second class third class
first class lever
fulcrum is between effort and load
ex: scissors and see saws
can produce a mechanical advantage or disadvantage depending on the effort or load closer to the fulcrum
second class lever
load is between the fulcrum and the effort
ex. wheelbarrow
always produce a mechanical advantage bc load is always closer to the fulcrum than the effort
third class lever
effort is between fulcrum and load
ex: pair of forceps
produce a mechanical disadvantage bc effort is always closer to the fulcrum than the load
fascicles
bundles made up of skeletal muscle fibers within the muscle
intramuscular injection
penetrates the skin and subQ layer to enter muscle
preferred when prompt absorption is desired
injected into glutes, lateral side of thigh, mid portion of vastus lateralis muscle
prime mover (agonist)
contracts to cause action
ex: biceps brachii
antagonist
stretches and yields to the effects of the prime mover
ie: triceps brachii
synergist
contract and stabilize the intermediate joints
prevents unwanted movements at intermediate joints or to otherwise aid the movement of the prime mover
fixators
stabilizes the origin of the prime mover so that the prime mover can act more efficiently
steady the proximal end of a limb while movements occur at the distal end
compartment
group of skeletal muscles, associated blood vessels, associated nerves, all of which have a common function
Roles of stretching
Improved physical performance
Decreased risk of injury
Reduced muscle soreness
Improve posture
How skeletal muscles are named
objective overview muscle names origins, insertions, and actions innervation relating muscles to movements questions clinical connections figures
orbicularis oculi
closes the eye
levator palpebrae superioris muscle
opens the eye
occipitofrontalis
made up of two parts; anterior frontal belly (frontalis) and posterior occipital belly (occipitals)
frontalis
superficial to the frontal bone
occipitalis
superficial to the occipital bone
epicranial aponeurosis (galea aponeurotica)
covers the super and lateral surfaces of the skull
aponeurosis
sheet like tendon that hold the fascia and occipital together
buccinator
forms the major muscular portion of the cheek; duct of parotid gland (a salivary gland) passes through the buccinator to reach the oral cavity
extrinsic eye muscles
muscles that move the eyeballs; originate outside the eyeballs (in the orbit) and insert on the outer surface of the sclera (white of eye)
Three pairs of extrinsic eye muscles that control movement of eyeballs
- superior and inferior recti
- lateral and medial recti
- superior and inferior obliques
superior/inferior recti
move the eyeballs superiorly and inferiorly
lateral/medial recti
move eyeballs laterally and medially
superior oblique
originates posteriorly near the tendinous ring; passes anteriorly superior to the medial rectus muscle, ends in a round tendon
inferior oblique
originates on the maxilla at the anteromedial aspect of the floor of the orbit; passes posteriorly and lateral; inserts on the posterolateral aspect of the eyeball
levator palpebrae superioris
does not move the eyeball; tendon passes the eyeball and inserts into upper eyelid
raises the upper eyelid (opens the eyes); antagonist to the obicularis oculi (closes the eye)
strabismus
two eyeballs are not properly aligned; can be hereditary or due to birth injuries
muscles of mastication (chewing)
muscles that move the mandible (lower jawbone) at the temporomandibular joint (tmj)
closers of the jaw and strength of bite
masseter (strongest muscle of mastication)
temporalis
medial pterygoid
medial and lateral pterygoid
assist in mastication by moving mandible from side to side to help grind food; lateral protract the mandible
Teeny Mice Make Petite Little Prints
Temporalis, Masseter, Medial Pterygoid, Lateral Pterygoid
Gravity on the mandible
when masseter, temporals, and medial pterygoid muscle relax, mandible drops
extrinsic tongue muscles
originate outside the tongue and insert into it; move tongues in different directions (anteriorly, posteriorly, and laterally); insert into both lateral halves of the tongue
intrinsic tongue muscles
originate and insert within the tongue; alter the shape of the tongue; insert into both lateral halves of the tongue
genioglossus
origin: the mandible
pulls tongue downward and forward
hyoglossus
origin: hyoid bone
pulls the tongue downward and flattens it
