lifespan perspective of the musculoskeletal system Flashcards
(140 cards)
sensory/ perceptual system
Provide sensory information about the body and environment
cognitive system
The attention, planning, problem solving, motivation, and emotional aspects of
motor control
motor/ action system
Neuromuscular and biomechanical systems control the execution of functional movement
the higher centers of the ner vous system and the effector organs of movement
Functional motor unit
Primary motor cortex
Controls speed and force of movement
Supplemental motor area
Involved in preplanning movements
Premotor cortex
Visually guided movements
Cerebellum
Coordinates movements based on accuracy, timing, and intensity
Basal ganglia
Controls posture and adaptation to varying tasks or environments
one motor neuron and all the muscle fibers it innervates
Motor unit:
in the prenatal stage The muscular system develops from the
mesoderm
During the 2nd half of gestation, rapid increase in:
Number and size of muscle fibers
what muscle fiber is slow twitch tonic fibers and 21 weeks gestation
type 1 muscle fibers
what muscle fibers are fast twitch phasic and 30 weeks
type 2 muscle fibers
are all skeletal muscles developed by birth?
yes
Change in direction of muscle fibers
Alters the muscle fiber orientation
Change in direction of muscle fibers ex:
i.e.trapezius develops into multiple fiber directions
Splitting in myotomes
Splitting in myotomes
i.e.biceps brachii has 2 heads
Splitting in myotomes
Degeneration
Formationof aponeurosis: a sheet of connective tissue
i.e.lineaalbain rectus
abdominis
Degeneration
prenatal muscular system development
changes in direction of muscle fibers
splitting in myotomes
degeneration
At birth, muscle mass is only ___ of total body mass
25%
in males 14-fold increase in fiber number when
2 months- 16 years
