Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Controlled Consciously
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Act through contraction only- pull attachments closer together
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Work in antagonistic pairs
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Pull the same joint in opposite directions
Antagonistic Pairs of Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Actually working together
Antagonistic pairs Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Called Synergy
Antagonistic Pairs
Attach to skeleton by Tendons
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Attach muscle to skeleton by collagen bands or cords
Tendon
Attach to skeleton by Aponeuroses
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Broad, Flattened Tendon
Aponeuroses
Several muscles attach to its margins
Aponeuroses
Thin connective tissue skin
Fascia
Wide variation in size and shape
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Have Blood and Nerve Supply
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Dilate during exercise
Extensive Capillary Bed
Increased blood flow and supply during activity
Extensive Capillary Bed
Called Pumping up
Extensive Capillary Bed
Myoglobin stores O2 in muscle tissues
Skeletal/Voluntary/Striated/Somatic Muscles
Common foramen for nerves and blood vessels
Neurovascular Hilus
Located in the middle or at the ends of a muscle
Neurovascular Hilus
Arteries and Veins enter together
Neurovascular Hilus
What enters and exits thru the Neurovascular Hilus?
Nerves
May supply one muscle fiber or several
Motor Neurons
