1
Q

origin vs. insertion in thorax

A

origin is medial, insertion is lateral attachment (generally end that moves)

2
Q

origin vs. insertion in extremity

A

origin is proximal, insertion is distal

3
Q

direct attachment

A

right onto bone

4
Q

indirect attachment

A

via tendon/aponeurosis (more common, leave bony markings, sometimes attach to skin)

5
Q

function of muscle

A

movement

6
Q

agonist

A

prime mover of a muscle, major response produces particular movement, describes muscle to action

7
Q

antagonists

A

oppose/reverse particular movement, prevent overshooting agonistic motion, describes muscle to another muscle

8
Q

synergists

A

muscles work together, adds extra force to agonistic movement, reduce undesirable extra movement (muscles crossing two joints), can enforce same action or create new movement

9
Q

fixators

A

a synergist that holds bone in place to provide stable base for movement

10
Q

naming skeletal muscles

A

location (brachialis=arm), shape (deltoid=triangle), relative size (minimus, maximus, longus), direction of fascicles (oblique, rectus), location of attachment (brachioradialis), number of origins (biceps, quadriceps), action (flexor, adductor, extensor)
