Major Muscle Groups

Question 1

Define muscle origin

Answer 1

attachment of the muscle usually in a fixed position and close to the center of the body (proximal attachment)

Question 2

Define insertion

Answer 2

usually attaches to the part in motion and further from the center of the body (distal attachment)

Question 3

Define tentons

Answer 3

at ends of muscles to provide tendinous attachment to bones (tendon @ origin/proximal attachment, usually very short) (tends @ insertion/distal attachment long)

Question 4

What is a flat or board tendon?

Answer 4

Aponeurosis

Question 5

What is a raphe?

Answer 5

tendons of 2 muscles attached to peach other forming one midline tendon

Question 6

Answer 6

Fibrous connective tissue attaching bone to bone for structure and stability

Question 7

Flex

Answer 7

muscle contracts

Question 8

Extends

Answer 8

muscle relaxes

Question 9

Pronate

Answer 9

rotate palm down

Question 10

Supinate

Answer 10

rotate palm up

Question 11

flexor surface

Answer 11

side of joint where flexion decreases resting angle (muscle on flexor surface=flexes that joint)

Question 12

extensor surface

Answer 12

side of joint where extension increases resting angle
(muscle on extensor surface= extensor for that joint)

Question 13

Intrinsic muscle

Answer 13

muscles confined to a structure

Question 14

extrinsic muscle

Answer 14

muscles that connect structure to the body
one attachment to limb/structure, other to body

Question 15

Cutaneous Muscles

Answer 15

just deep of the skin, move the skin over the,, little to no skeletal attachment (ex: cutaneous trunci-> twitching of muscles)

Question 16

Head + Neck Muscles
