Muscular System

Question 1

What is the primary function

Answer 1

Create movement

Question 2

What is the origin

Answer 2

The pint of attachment to a stationary bone which stays relatively fixed during a muscle contraction

Question 3

What is the insertion

Answer 3

The point of attachment to a moveable bone which gets closer to the origin during muscular contraction

Question 4

Agonist

Answer 4

Muscle responsible for creating movement in a joint

Question 5

Antagonist

Answer 5

Muscle that opposes the agonist providing a a resistance

Question 6

Fixator

Answer 6

Muscle that stabilises one part of the body while another causes movement

Question 7

What is concentric contraction

Answer 7

Muscle contraction where the muscle shortens producing tension. This causing the bones to move together

Question 8

Ecocentric contraction

Answer 8

Muscle contraction where a muscle lengths producing tension. This resists source such as gravity to control movements

Question 9

Isometric contraction

Answer 9

Muscle contraction where the muscles do not change length, this creates tension
