Term
Arrangements of muscles
Definition
1)Antagonistic-opposite functions-ROM exerciese, flex and extend.

2)Synergistic-work together to perform a task. All movements depends upon contracting (pulling) the muscle.
Term
Function of the Muscular System
Definition
Move the skeleton and tendons attach to bones
Term
Structures of skeletal muscle-
Definition
1)Muscle cell=muscle fiber

2)Most muscles are attached to two bonesto allow for movemnet in different directions.

3)Muscles can only pull, they cannot push.
Term
Relationship of the brain to muscle movement are?
Definition
1)Cerebrum-frontal lobe initiates muscle contraction.

2)Cerebellum-coordination of movemnets, blance, and coordination.
Term
Muscle tone
Definition
state of slight contraction.

Muscles are always prepared to move, this is also regulated by the cerbellum of the brain.

Muscle fibers need the energy of ATP(adenosine triphosphate)in order to contract.
Term
Tyes of exercise-related to movements
Definition
1)Isotonic-muscle contraction results in movement of a bone or joint.

2)Isometric-muscle contraction does not result in movement of a bone or joint.
Term
Muscle sense
Definition
stretch receptors in the muscles allow us to know where the muscles are without looking.
Term
Production of energy for muscle contraction
Definition
muscles need a great deal of energy.

1)Direct-ATP stored in the cell-short term energy supply

2)Secondary-creatine phosphate-in muscle fibers breaks down to form ATp. The excess creatinine excreted in the urine by the kidneys.

3)Glycongen-most abundant energy supply-glycogen breaks down to glucose-cell respitation occurs to form large amounts of ATP. The o2(for cell respiration) is supplied by the hemoglobin in the blood.
Term
O2a and production of lactic acid
Definition
Lack of O2during muscle contraction-the glucose will form lactic acid-muscle fatique and decrease performance.
Term
Contraction and relaxation of muscle fiber:
Definition
Polarization, depolarizes, and repolarization.
Term
Polarization
Definition
fibers are relaxed and ready with a negative(-) charge on the inside.

()Na+ and others (+) on outside K+ and (-) on inside.
Term
Depolarizes
Definition
working phase-acetylcholine is the chemical impulse(from brain) that charges the cell wall and alows Na+ to rush in , and the charge changes. Now it is positive (+) on the inside. The change in charge causes muscle contraction.
Term
Repolarization
Definition
regroup, restore a (-) Charge.
Term
Head and neck
Definition
1)Zygomatic- temple, under eye, upper lip.

2)masseter- eye to jaw.

3)Sternocliedomastoid- behind the ear, sternum and clavicle.
