lecture 11 muscles of the body Flashcards
- produces movements
- general principles of leverage
- muscle act with or against each other
- criteria used in naming muscles
skeletal muscles of the body
- origin of the muscle is broad
- fascicles converge toward the tendon of insertion
convergent
fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle
-two types ; straplike (sternocleomastoid) and fusiform (biceps bronchi)
parallel
types of fascicle arrangment
unipennate, bipennate, multipennate
fascicles insert into one side of the tendon
unipennate
fascicles insert into the tendon from both sides
bipennate
fascicles insert into one large tendon from all sides
multipennate
fascicles are arranged in concentric rings
- surround external body openings
- sphincters
circular
has major responsibility for a certain movement
prime mover
opposes or reverses a movemnt
antagonist
helps the prime mover
synergist
a type of synergist that holds a bone firmly in place
fixator
squeeze food into the esophagus
pharyngeal constrictors
-largest of deep back muscles
1 iliocostalis
2. longissimus
3. spinalis
erector spinal group
- deep muscles used for providing movements for breathing
- lift the rib cage
external intercostal muscles
-aid expiration during heavy breathing
internal intercostal muscles
-most important muscle of respiration
diaphragm
a strong flat sheet of fibrous connective tissue that serves as a tendon to attach muscles to bones or as fascia to bind muscles together or to other tissues at their origin or insertion
aponeurosis
feeling internal structures through the skin
-living anatomy provides important information about palpation of arterial pulses, skeleton, muscles, and blood vessels, sounds of the heart and lungs, where to give injections
palpation
- superciliary arches
- external occipital protuberance
- mastoid process
- termporalis muscle
- frontalis muscle
selected structures felt through the skin
also called Adams apple
laryngeal prominence
inferior to the laryngeal prominence
cricoid cartilage
depression in the superior part of the sternum
jugular notch
most prominent neck muscle
sternocleidomastoid
