1

Describe the relationship between bones and skeletal muscles in producing body movements.

Muscles act on bones by pulling, never pushing. As a muscle shortens, its insertion (attachment on the movable bone) moves toward its origin (its fixed or immovable point of attachment). Whatever one muscle or muscle group can do, another muscle or group can undo.

2

Prime mover (agonist)

has the major responsibility for producing a specific movement

3

antagonist

opposes or reverses a particular movement. When the prime mover is active, antagonist muscles are usually stretched or relaxed.

4

Synergists

muscles that help the prime mover by either adding extra force to the same movement or reducing undesirable or unnecessary movements that might occur as the prime mover contracts

5

Fixator

a type of synergist which immobilizes a bone, or a muscle’s origin so that the prime mover has a stable base on which to act

6

Define the criteria employed in naming skeletal muscles:

  • Location
  • Shape
  • Relative size
  • Direction of muscle fibers
  • Number of origins
  • Location of attachments
  • Action

7

Parallel:

long axis of the fascicles run with the longitudinal axis of the muscle - strap like or fusiform - expanded belly (biceps).

8

Pennate (feather):

fascicles are short and attached obliquely to a central tendon running the length of the muscle

9

unipennate

Fascicles insert into only 1 side of the tendon

10

bipennate

If inserted into the tendon from opposite sides

11

Convergent:

broad origin - fascicles converge toward a single tendon -essentially triangular (pectoralis major).

12

Circular:

fascicles arranged in concentric rings. Surround external body openings which they close by contracting sphincters.

13

sphincters

A circular muscle surrounding an opening; acts as a valve

14

orbicularis oculi -

zygomaticus -

platysma -

orbicularis oculi -closes eyes, blinking, squinting

zygomaticus - raises lateral corners of mouth (smiling)

platysma - depresses mandible, pulls lower lip back and down

15

orbicularis oris -

frontalis -

masseter -

orbicularis oris - closes mouth, purses lips (kissing)

frontalis - raises eyebrows, wrinkles skin of forehead

masseter - closes jaw, elevates mandible

16

sternocleidomastoid -

deltoid -

pectoralis major -

sternocleidomastoid - flexes neck (together); rotates head toward opposite shoulder (individually)

deltoid - prime mover of arm abduction

pectoralis major - arm flexion, adducts and medially rotates arm

17

rectus abdominis -

trapezius -

latissimus dorsi -

rectus abdominis - flexes vertebral column, fixes and depresses ribs, stabilizes pelvis during walking

trapezius - extends head, retracts scapula, elevates and depresses scapula (shrug shoulders)

latissimus dorsi - prime mover of arm extension; adducts and medially rotates arm

18

erector spinae -

triceps brachii -

biceps brachii -

erector spinae - extends and abducts vertebral column

triceps brachii -extension of forearm
