Lab Quiz 3 Flashcards
Action of a muscle
occurs when the muscle contracts
Tendon of origin/tendon of insertion
the two tendons that attach skeletal muscles to bones of skeletal framework
Origin
muscle tendon that is attached to the stationary bone, does not move when the muscle contracts
of origins in biceps
2
of origins in triceps
3
of origins in quadriceps
4
Insertion
muscle tendon that is attached to bone that moves when muscle contracts
Flexion
decrease in the angle of a joint
Extension
increase in the angel of a joint
Flexor muscle
skeletal muscle attached to 2 bones by tendons and crosses a joint that bends (flexes) when the muscle contracts
Extensor muscle
skeletal muscle attached to 2 bones by tendons and crosses a joint that extends (straightens) when the muscle contracts
Abductor muscles
moves an appendage away from midline
Adductor muscles
moves an appendage closer to the midline
Innervation
nerves that stimulate muscle contraction
Tendon
CT that attaches skeletal muscle to bone
Ligament
CT that connects 2 bones together
