LEARNING WITH CORRECT ANSWERS 100%
three types of muscle tissue - CORRECT ANSWER-smooth, cardiac, and skeletal
skeletal muscle - CORRECT ANSWER-under conscious control; has a blood & nervous supply to enable
movement
conscious control - CORRECT ANSWER-a person decided to use this muscle to complete an action
motor action - CORRECT ANSWER-a message is formed in the brain, is sent to the spinal cord, then sent
to the peripheral nervous system and finally to the correct muscle
peripheral nerves - CORRECT ANSWER-middle man of carrying a message from central nervous system to
specific end point
sensory input - CORRECT ANSWER-the nerves of the peripheral nervous system carry messages that start
externally to the central nervous system
what action are muscles capable of - CORRECT ANSWER-they can only pull (contract) and then relax
again
tendons - CORRECT ANSWER-connective tissue that connects skeletal muscles to bone, they are flexible
and can bend at joints and cushion against sudden movement
ligaments - CORRECT ANSWER-connective tissues that connects bone to bone and stabilizes joints
origin - CORRECT ANSWER-bony site of attachment that is stationary during movement
insertion - CORRECT ANSWER-the bony site of attachment that is moved by the muscle contraction
, action - CORRECT ANSWER-the effect that comes from the muscles contraction
innervation - CORRECT ANSWER-the peripheral nerve that gives the muscle the message from the brain
cranial nerve (CN) - CORRECT ANSWER-twelve pairs of cranial nerves that originate on the
ventral/anterior surface of the brain
erector spinae group - CORRECT ANSWER-superficial muscles in the back; the prime extensors of
vertebral column
flexion of spine - CORRECT ANSWER-forward bending of the trunk
extension of spine - CORRECT ANSWER-backward bending
lateral flexion of spine - CORRECT ANSWER-side bending movement around axis
spinalis - CORRECT ANSWER-medial column of erector spinae; three divisions: spinalis thoracis, spinalis
cervicis, spinalis capitis
longissimus - CORRECT ANSWER-intermediate column of erector spinae; three divisions: longissimus
thoracis, longissimus cervicis, longissimus capitis)
Iliocostalis - CORRECT ANSWER-lateral column of erector spinae; three divisions: iliocostatlis lumborum,
iliocostalis thoracis, iliocostalis cervicis)
abdominal muscles help with - CORRECT ANSWER-supporting and protecting the abdominal viscera
which are not protected by bone structures & they help to provide support for upright posture & balance
