One of the four types of tissue in the body Elongated cells Specialized for contraction Three types of muscle tissue: 1. Skeletal muscle 2. Cardiac muscle 3. Smooth muscle
3
1. Produce movement of the skeleton 2. Maintaining Posture and body position 3. Support soft tissues 4. Guard entrances and exits 5. Maintain body temperature by generating heat
4
Positions the head and spinal column Moves the rib cage Does not play a role in movement or support of the pectoral girdle
5
Stabilizes or moves components of the appendicular skeleton
6
Flexion Extension Abduction Adduction Circumduction
7
Lateral rotation Medial rotation Pronation Supination
8
Inversion/Eversion Dorsiflexion Plantar flexion Opposition /reposition Protraction/retraction Elevation /depression Lateral and medial excursion
9
1. Origin = muscle attachment that remains fixed 2. Insertion = muscle attachment that moves 3. Primary mover = what joint movement a muscle produces When a skeletal muscle contracts, its insertion moves toward its origin
10
4. Agonist = primary mover Main muscle in an action 5. Synergist Helper muscle in action 6. Antagonist Oppose or reverse a movement When agonists are in action, antagonists are relaxed 7. Fixator Stabilize the origin of a primary mover Postural muscles are fixators
11
Deltoid Orbicularis Pectinate Piriformis Platy Pyramidal Rhomboid Serratus Splenius Teres Triangular Circular Comblike Pear Shaped Flat Pyramid Rhomboid Serrated Bandage Long and round
12
Trapezius Pennate Digastric Fusiform Trapezoid Feather-like Two-bellied Spindle
13
Brevis Gracilis Lata Latissimus Longus Longissimus Short Slender Wide Widest Long Longest
14
Magnus Major Minimus Minor Vastus Tendinosus Large Larger Smallest Small Great Tendinous
15
Some muscles are named for the bone with which they are associated Ex: temporalis overlays the temporal bone
16
Biceps = two origins Tripceps = three origins Quadriceps = 4 origins
17
Ex: sternocleidomastoid muscle has its origin on the sternum (sterno) and clicel (cleido) and inserts on the mastoid process of the remporal bone
18
Flexor, extensor, adductor Ex: extensor muscles of the wrist extend the wrist.
19
Rectus = straight; fibers run parallel to an imaginary line, usually midline Ex: rectus femoris = straight muscle of the thigh Oblique = muscle fibers run at a slant to an imaginary line
20
Alba = White
22
Flexion = movement which decreases the angle of the joint; brings two bones closer together Extension = movement which increases the angle of the joint or the distance between two bones Hyperextension = extension greater than 180 o Common movement of a hinge joint
26
Rotation = movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis
27
Abduction = moving away from midline Adduction = moving toward midline
28
Circumduction = combination of flexion, extension, abduction and adduction Proximal end of the joint is stationary Distal end moves in a circle
29
Dorsiflexion = lifting the foot at the ankle towards the shin Standing on your heels Plantar flexion = depressing the foot Pointing your toes
30
Special movements of the foot Inversion = turning the sole of the foot medially Eversion = turning the sole of the foot laterally
31
Refer to movements of the radius around the ulna Supination = turning backward Palm facing backward; radius and ulna cross Pronation = turning forward Palm facing forward; radius and ulna are parallel
32
Specifically of the thumb Ability to touch your thumb to your fingertip
33
Protraction: moving a body part anteriorly in the horizontal plane Ex: grasp you upper lip with your lower teeth Retraction: moving a body part posteriorly in the horizontal plane
