Muscular System 600 Muscles
2
3 types of muscles Smooth Muscles- Which include the muscles of internal organs and blood vessels. These muscles move involuntary. Cardiac Muscle- Found only in the heart and also involuntary. Skeletal Muscles- Are voluntary and help you move.
3
Muscle Movement Involuntary- Automatically move without you knowing.
Voluntary- Brain sends message to muscle. You control the movements.
4
Skeletal Muscle Skeletal Muscles-muscles that move bones
Attached to bones by tendons Most numerous in the body Look striped or striated Voluntary muscles Makes up 90% of your muscles
5
Involuntary – Smooth Muscle
Smooth muscles- nonstriated Involuntary Move the internal organs Contract and relax slowly Example- small intestine Makes up 7-8% of your muscles.
6
Cardiac Muscle Cardiac muscle-found only in the heart Involuntary
Striations Contracts about 70 times a minute every day of your life. Makes up 3% of your muscles. By age 70 heart contracts 2.5s billions times (assume resting heart beat).
8
Occuli Facial Buccinators Sternomastoid Pectoralis Major Bicep Brachii Abdominals External Oblique Sartorius Quadriceps Extensor Digitorum Tibialis Anterior
9
Types of Muscles cont. Cardiac Muscles- Only found in the heart.
Involuntary. Makes up 3% of your muscles. By age 70 heart contracts 2.5 billion times (assume resting heart beat).
10
Types of Injuries Strain- Muscle “pull” or “strain”
Tearing a muscle fiber(s), followed by bleeding or swelling of muscle Muscle Cramp- Prolonged contraction of muscle, ion imbalance
11
Muscle Terms Flexion- Movement that reduces a joint angle
Extension- A movement that increases a joint angle
12
Body Movements Flexing of the hamstring.
13
Body Movements cont. Extension of the quadriceps.
17
Muscle Pairs Your muscles work in teams to move your body. An example of this is your Bicep and Tricep.
18
Trapezius Deltoid Tricep Latissimus Dorsi Gluteus Maximus Hamstring Gastrocnemius
19
Skeletal muscles-when one muscles contracts- another muscle relaxes
Muscles always pull- never pushes Muscles use glucose Produce thermal energy when they contract Muscles that are not exercised become smaller
20
Origin & Insertion Origin: the fixed end of the muscle
Insertion – the moving end of the muscle
21
Muscles Revision Name two functions of the muscular system
Name the three types of muscle tissue found in the body The muscle's ability to contract is affected by a number of factors. State or list at least 4 of these factors. What is muscle fatigue?
22
How would you describe the terms origin and insertion?
Describe the movement eversion Describe the movement adduction Describe the movement flexion Describe the location of gastrocnemius
23
Describe the location of the hamstrings group of muscles
Describe the location of flexor carpi ulnaris and its action
