1.Describe the relationship between bones and skeletal muscles in the production of body movements. Usually when a muscle contracts one bone remains stationary since the muscle reinforces the bone or the structure doesn’t allow it to move. The other bone at the articulating joint moves from the contraction.1.Origin: the attachment of a muscle’s tendon to the stationary bone (usually proximal)2.Insertion: is the attachment of the muscle’s other tendon to the movable bone (usually distal)3.belly (body): is the portion between the tendons of the origin and insertion4.Actions: the main movements when the muscle contracts.5.reverse muscle action: during specific movements of the body the actions are reversed; therefore, the positions of the origin and insertion of a specific muscle are switched.1.lever system and leverage (fulcrum, effort, load/resistance): lever : this is a rigid structure that can move around a fixed point. Fulcrum: is the fixed point and is symbolized by an F within a green triangle. Effort: is what causes the movement. the force exerted by muscular contraction Load/resistance: which opposes the movement, typically the weight of the body part that is moved or some resistance that the body part is trying to overcome. It is symbolized by an L within a blue triangle.2.mechanical advantage: when the load is closer to the fulcrum and the effort is farther from the fulcrum, then only a relatively small effort is required to move a large load over a small distance.3.mechanical disadvantage: the load is farther from the fulcrum and the effort is applied closer to the fulcrum, then a relatively large effort is required to move a small load4.first-class levers: the fulcrum is between the effort and the load. An example outside the body would be a seesaw. This type of lever can produce either a mechanical disadvantage or a mechanical advantage. In the human body, an example is the atlanto-occipital joint where the anterior portion of the head is the load and fulcrum is the joint. E is produced by the neck muscles when the head is raised.5.second-class levers: the load is between the fulcrum and the effort, and always produce amechanical advantage because the load is always closer to the fulcrum and in this type of lever there ’s little speed and range of motion. In the human body, standing on your toes is an example, the ball of your foot is the fulcrum, the load is the weight of your body and the effort is produced by your calf muscles, which raise the heel off the ground.6.third-class levers: The effort is between the fulcrum and the load, this is the most common type of lever. This is always at a mechanical disadvantage since the effort is closer to the fulcrum than the load. This type of lever favors speed and range of motion in the body.B.Describe how the prime mover, antagonist, synergist and fixator in a muscle group work together to produce movements.I.prime mover or agonist: contracts to cause an actionII.Antagonist: while the prime mover is contracting this muscle stretchesIII.Synergist: prevent unwanted movements at intermediate joints or to otherwise aid the movement of the prime mover, these muscles contract and stabilize the intermediate joints. Are usually locatednear primary movers.IV.Fixator: stabilize the origin of the prime mover so that the prime mover can act more efficiently.These muscles steady the proximal end of the limb while movements occur at the distal end.V.Compartment: is a group of skeletal muscles, their associated blood vessels, and associated nerves, all of which have a common function. B.Understand the characteristics used in the naming of skeletal muscles (do not memorize examples).
