Instructions for Side by Side Printing
  1. Print the notecards
  2. Fold each page in half along the solid vertical line
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal dotted line
  4. Optional: Glue, tape or staple the ends of each notecard together
  1. Verify Front of pages is selected for Viewing and print the front of the notecards
  2. Select Back of pages for Viewing and print the back of the notecards
    NOTE: Since the back of the pages are printed in reverse order (last page is printed first), keep the pages in the same order as they were after Step 1. Also, be sure to feed the pages in the same direction as you did in Step 1.
  3. Cut out the notecards by cutting along each horizontal and vertical dotted line
To print: Ctrl+PPrint as a list

Ch 10 Muscular System

front 1

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

back 1

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.

front 2

Prime mover (agonist)

back 2

has the major responsibility for producing a specific movement

front 3

antagonist

back 3

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

front 4

Synergists

back 4

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

front 5

Fixator

back 5

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

front 6

Define the criteria employed in naming skeletal muscles:

back 6

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

front 7

Parallel:

back 7

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

front 8

Pennate (feather):

back 8

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

front 9

unipennate

back 9

Fascicles insert into only 1 side of the tendon

front 10

bipennate

back 10

If inserted into the tendon from opposite sides

front 11

Convergent:

back 11

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

front 12

Circular:

back 12

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

front 13

sphincters

back 13

A circular muscle surrounding an opening; acts as a valve

front 14
