Term
contractile
Definition
central, fleshy portion of the muscle that increases in diameter as the muscle concentrically contracts
Term
muscles contract
Definition
pulls both ends of the muscle towards the gaster of the muscle. if neither of the bones to a muscle is attached were stabilized then both bones would move towards the upon contraction.
Term
human body
Definition
one bone that a muscle attaches to is more stabilized than the other and as a result the less stabilized bone moves toward the more stabilized bone upon contraction
Term
origin
Definition
proximal attachment or the part that attaches closest to the body
Term
insertion
Definition
meant to imply the distal attachment or the part that attached farthest from the midline or center of the body
Term
origin and insertion
Definition
mistake to view the origin as the attachment does not move when the muscle contracts. origin and insertion receive equal force from the pull of the muscle. least stabilized aspect of the muscle will move.
Term
intrinsic
Definition
refers to muscles that are within the structure on which they act.
Term
extrinsic
Definition
refers to muscles that originate outside of the structure on which they cause movement in but insert in within the structure they cause movement in.
Term
names applied to various muscles have been derived from
Definition
1. situation
2. direction
3. actions
4. shape
5. number of divisions
6. point of attachments
Term
muscles differ in
Definition
size
Term
bone markings and formations
Definition
appear wherever tendons, ligaments, and fascia are attached in order to stabilize and improve their leverage for improved strength. occur in relation to the tendons, arteries, and veins in order to allow them to pass through a structure and or stabilize arteries and veins. serve articulation areas that form joints in order to enhance movement.
Term
condyle
Definition
rounded projection of bone located on the ends of bones that serve as articulation areas that make up joints
Term
epicondyle
Definition
rounded projection of bone above the condyles that serve as attachments for ligaments and tendons
Term
crest
Definition
prominent narrow ridgelike projection of bone
Term
foramen
Definition
passage or opening
Term
fossa
Definition
shallow depressed area
Term
angle
Definition
a projecting or sharp corner
Term
process
Definition
any projection or outgrowth of bone
Term
spine
Definition
sharp slender projection of bone
Term
groove
Definition
long narrow channel, depression, or furrow
Term
tubercle
Definition
a small rounded projection
Term
facet
Definition
a small smooth flatted or smooth area on a bone usually covered with articular cartilage where bones articulate
Term
line
Definition
ridge less prominent than a crest
Term
malleolus
Definition
a rounded process
Term
notch
Definition
indentation at the edge of a bone to allow structures to pass through or to stabilize arteries, veins, and tendons
Term
protuberance
Definition
bulge ex. bottom of skull
Term
spinous
Definition
a thorn like projection of bone. serve as a place of attachment muscles, tendons, and ligaments
Term
trochanter
Definition
a large blunt elevation of bone
Term
tuberosity
Definition
large rounded elevation of bone
Term
eminence
Definition
(l. to hang on) a projection of bone
Term
sagittal plane
Definition
divides the body into right and left halves bisecting the body from front to back. movements that occur in the plane-flexion and extension.
Term
lateral or frontal plane
Definition
divides the body into anterior and posterior halves, bisecting the body laterally from side to side. movements that occur in this plane. adduction and abduction
Term
transverse or horizontal
Definition
divides the body into superior and inferior halves. movements that occur in this plane. rotation movements. and pronation and supination
Term
sagittal or anteriorposterior movement
Definition
passes in a frontal or lateral axis
Term
lateral or frontal movement
Definition
passes in a sagittal axis
Term
transverse or horizontal movement
Definition
passes in a vertical axis
