Lecture 9 Flashcards
What are the ways fascicles are arranged?
parallel, circular, convergent
What do parallel fascicles look like?
fibers run parallel to long axis
What do circular fascicles look like?
concentric rings
What doe convergent fascicles look like?
broad origin, converge towards insertion
What are pennate fascicles?
short fibers are obliquely attached to tendon
What are unipennate fascicles?
only one direction for all fascicles
What are bipennate fascicles?
two directions for the fascicles
What are multipennate fascicles?
fascicles go in more than two directions
What are the ways we name muscles?
action, body region, attachments, orientation, shape/size, number of heads
What are the origin of muscle attachments?
less movable attachment site
What are the insertion of muscle attachments?
move movable attachment site
What is an agonist?
prime mover
What is an antagonist?
resists movement that the agonist is performing
What is a synergist?
muscle that helps the agonist with movement
What is a fixator?
What is circumduction?
What is lateral rotation?
What is medial rotation?
What is dorsiflexion?
What is plantar flexion?
What is inversion?
What is eversion?
What is opposition?
What is pronation?
