19
Q

Move the hip, leg, foot and toes

A

Lower limb muscle

20
Q

Is an involuntary, sudden contraction or movement of a muscle group of muscle

A

Muscle twitch

21
Q

Factors that can cause muscle twitching:

A

Stress
Fatigue
Caffeine intake
Dehydration
Electrolyte imbalances

22
Q

The process by which fibers generate tension and shorten, lengthen or remain the same length to produce movement or maintain posture

23
Q

Brian sends signal to the muscle

24
Q

2 types of contraction

A

Isometric contraction
Isotonic contraction

25
Muscle generates force without changing its length, meaning there is no visible movement to the joint or limb
Isometric contraction
26
Muscle generates force without changing its length, meaning there is no visible movement to the joint or limb
Isometric contraction
27
The muscle changes length while producing force,leading to movement of a joint
Isotonic contraction
28
2 types of isotonic contraction
Concentric Eccentric
29
The muscle shortens as it contracts
Concentric
30
The muscle lengthens while maintaining tension, usually to control or resist a force
Eccentric
31
Disorders of muscular system:
Muscle strain Myositis Muscle dystrophy Fibromyalgia
32
A tear in a muscle or tendon, usually caused by overuse or sudden injury
Muscle strain
33
Inflammation of muscle tissue
Myositis
34
A group of inherited disorders that cause progressive muscle weakness and degeneration
Muscle dystrophy
35
A disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue and sleep disturbances
Fibromyalgia
36
Muscle are continually working to maintain posture
Tonicity
37
____ the muscle can help prevent a loss of strength
Exercising
