Anatomy 2 Exam 1 Flashcards
(117 cards)
study of muscles; movement of & within the body
Myology:
3 Types of Muscle
a) cardiac - (heart) involuntary; slightly striated
b) visceral - (organs) smooth; single nucleus; involuntary;
c) skeletal - striated; multi-nucleated; voluntary
Skeletal Muscle
Approximately 500 skeletal muscles in the body
Total mass of skeletal muscle tissue accounts for about 45% of the body weight
Tendon: connective tissue structure that attaches muscle to bone or muscle to muscle.
broad flat tendon
aponeurosis
3 parts of skeletal muscle:
Body:
Origin:
Insertion:
bulky fleshy part of muscle which shortens and thickens during contraction
Body:
relatively fixed point of attachment of the muscle
Origin:
relatively movable point of attachment of the muscle
Insertion:
- Action: name for the particular type of action they produce upon contraction
a. flexion and extension:
b. abduction and adduction:
c. pronation and supination:
d. eversion and inversion:
e. constriction and dilation:
f. elevation and depression:
g. rotation:
h. circumduction:
muscle decreases the angle between 2 body parts
flexor
muscle increases the angle between 2 body parts
extensor
muscle action pulls a body part away from the median plane
abductor
muscle action pulls a body part toward the median plane
adductor
muscle turns the palm of the hand posteriorly (out of anatomical position)
pronator
turns the palm of the hand anteriorly (back into anatomical position)
supinator
implies a turning outward or inside out,
eversion
means to draw inward or outside in. The feet are initially positioned in an inverted position.
inversion
muscle, such as a sphincter muscle, narrows or binds a vessel, opening or passageway
constrictor
expands an organ, vessel, or orifice.
dilator
muscles raise a particular body part or organ,
elevator
muscle, be it of the tongue or otherwise, lowers a part
depressor
this muscle action has no antagonistic muscle action, but rather refers to the turning of a bone about its long axis, as when you shake your head no.
rotation:
movement by a 3rd base coach in baseball, as he waves in a runner from 2nd base to try and score a run.
movement such that the distal end of a bone describes a circle, and the shaft describes a cone.
circumduction:
Shape: name describe the shape of a muscle
a. deltoid: triangular b. platysma: flat
c. quadratus: four-sided d. vastus: large
e. trapezius: trapezoid f. rectus: straight
g. orbicularis, sphincter muscles: circular-shaped
deltoid:
triangular
