Muscles Chapter 10
2
Fasicle arrangement
3
Parallel Muscle Tension
Depends on total number of myofibrils Directly relates to cross section of muscle 1 in.2 (6.45 cm2) of cross section develops 50 lb (23 kg) of tension
4
Parallel Muscles Figure 11–1a
5
Convergent Muscles A broad area converges on attachment site (tendon, aponeurosis, or raphe) Muscle fibers pull in different directions, depending on stimulation e.g., pectoralis muscles
6
Convergent Muscles
7
Pennate Muscles Form an angle with the tendon
Do not move as far as parallel muscles Contain more myofibrils than parallel muscles Develop more tension than parallel muscles

Pennate Muscles Figure 11–1c, d, e
9
Circular Muscles Also called sphincters
Open and close to guard entrances of body e.g., obicularis oris

Levers Mechanically, each bone is a lever (a rigid, moving structure):
and each joint a fulcrum (a fixed point) Muscles provide applied force (AF): required to overcome resistance (R)
12
Functions of a Lever To change: direction of an AF
distance and speed of movement produced by an AF effective strength of an AF
13
3 Classes of Levers Depend on the relationship between applied force, fulcrum, and resistance: first class second class third class
14
First-Class Levers Figure 11–2a
15
First-Class Levers Seesaw is an example
Center fulcrum between applied force and resistance Force and resistance are balanced
16
Second–Class Levers
17
Second-Class Levers Wheelbarrow is an example
Center resistance between applied force and fulcrum A small force moves a large weight
18
Third-Class Levers Figure 11–2c
19
Third-Class Levers Most common levers in the body
Center applied force between resistance and fulcrum Greater force moves smaller resistance Maximizes speed and distance traveled
20
Physics of levers
21
Origins and Insertions
Muscles have 1 fixed point of attachment (origin) and 1 moving point of attachment (insertion) Most muscles originate or insert on the skeleton Origin is usually proximal to insertion
22
Actions Movements produced by muscle contraction Body movements
e.g., flexion, extension, adduction, etc. Described in terms of bone, joint, or region
23
Descriptive Names for Skeletal Muscles
Location in the body Origin and insertion Fascicle organization Relative position Structural characteristics Action
24
Muscles: anterior
25
Muscles: posterior
