Movement, Posture, Heat Production
what is the functions of muscular system?
Striated Voluntary
Skeletal Muscle is also known as ?
Skeletal Muscle
this type of muscle is attached to the skeleton
Skeletal Muscle
controlled by voluntary nervous system via somatic motor nerves in spinal and in some cranial nerves
Smooth Involuntary
Visceral Muscle is also called as ?
Visceral Muscle
located in the muscle layer of visceral organs
Visceral Muscle
controlled by autonomic nervous system via autonomic motor neuron
Striated Involuntary
Cardiac Muscle is also known as ?
Cardiac Muscle
this is found in the heart
Cardiac Muscle
its control is identical to that of smooth muscle
Skeletal Muscle
typically spindle-shaped
Skeletal Muscle
composed of long muscle cells
muscle fibers
the long muscle cells found in the skeletal muscle is referred to as ?
fascia
muscle fibers are bound together by a connective tissue called ?
muscle bundle
every skeletal muscle contains several?
fasciculi/fascicle
muscle bundle are also known as ?
blood vessels
Skeletal Muscle is richly supplied with ? which provide nutrients to and remove wastes from the muscle
transverse tubules
In the process of muscle contraction, electrical energy are transmitted along ?
troponin
In the process of muscle contraction, calcium ion released activates ?
troponin
this normally blocks interaction between myosin and actin
ATP
In the process of muscle contraction, ? released causes actin to slide along myosin filaments
Flexor
bends a part towards another
Flexor
biceps brachii has a muscle action of ?
Extensor
straightens a part
Extensor
triceps brachii has a muscle action of ?
Adductor
draws a part towards the median line
Adductor
pectoralis has a muscle action of ?
Adductor
Adductor longus has a muscle action of ?
Abductor
draws a part away from the median line
Abductor
Deltoid has a muscle action of ?
Abductor
Supraspinatus has a muscle action of ?
Levator
raise a part
Levator
Levator Scapulae has a muscle action of ?
Depressor
lowers a part
Depressor
Trapezius has a muscle action of ?
Depressor
Serratus anterior has a muscle action of ?
Constrictor
closes an opening
Constrictor
Sphincter pupillae has a muscle action of ?
Dilator
works against a constrictor
Dilator
Dilator pupillae has a muscle action of ?
Pronator
bends back of hand forward
Pronator
Pronator teres has a muscle action of ?
Pronator
Pronator quadratus has a muscle action of ?
Supinator
bends the palm forward
Supinator
Supinator muscle has a muscle action of ?
Rotator
turns a part
Hypertrophy
physical enlargement of a muscle due to addition of more myofibrils to the muscle fibers making them swell
Atrophy
reduction in the size of a muscle due to the decrease in the number of myofibrils in the muscle fibers
Treppe or bowditch effect
a phenomenon observed in muscle tissue where consecutive stimulations result in progressively stronger contractions until a plateau is reached
Staircase Phenomenon
Treppe or bowditch effect is also known as ?
Shivering
rapid, repetitive, involuntary skeletal muscle contractions stimulated by hypothalamic temperature-regulating center
Cramps
caused by sustained muscle contraction
Rigor Mortis
strong association of actin and myosin after death due to ATP depletion. However, subsequent bacterial decomposition of muscle proteins brings about relaxation
Bursae
small sacs lined with sinusoid membrane and contains synovial fluid
Bursae
act as cushions relieving pressure between moving parts
Bursae
located whenever pressure is exerted over moving parts like between skin and bone, tendons and bone, muscles or ligaments and bones
Muscular System
responsible for movement, posture, heat production, and organ function.
Skeletal Muscle
attached to bones; responsible for body movement
Skeletal Muscle
controlled consciously
Skeletal Muscle
examples of this type of muscle are biceps, quadriceps, and deltoid
Cardiac muscle
pumps blood through rhythmic contractions
Cardiac muscle
Has intercalated discs for synchronized beating.
Visceral muscle
found in organs, blood vessels, digestive tract
Visceral muscle
controls involuntary movement
pairs
Muscles work in ? : One contracts (agonist), the other relaxes (antagonist).
ATP
muscle require ? for movement
neuromuscular junction
Where nerves stimulate muscles to contract.
sliding filament
muscle contraction follows the ? theory
actin and myosin filaments
the sliding filament theory involves ?
sarcomere
actin and myosin filaments are in the ?
sarcomere
basic unit of muscle
nerve signal
In the first step of muscle contraction, ? reaches the muscle
sarcolemma, transverse tubules
In the second step of muscle contraction, the nerve signal travel along the ? and moves down the ? deep into the muscle fiber
troponin
In the third step of muscle contraction, calcium ions are released, which binds to ?
calcium
In the third step of muscle contraction, ? ions are released
ATP
In the last step of muscle contraction, ? powers myosin movement causing actin filaments to slide which makes muscle contract
Hypertrophy
increase in muscle size due to resistance training
Testosterone and growth hormones
in muscle tears, what aids in recovery?
microtears
? in muscle fibers from exercise stimulate repair
Bursae
these are small, fluid-filled sacs
Bursae
reduce friction between muscles, tendons, and bones
Bursae
act as shock absorbers
Bursae
prevent inflammation in joints
