How would this affect a patent's range of head movement?arrow_forwardThe most movable attachment of a muscle is itsa. origin. c. fascia. e. belly.b. insertion. d. fulcrum.arrow_forwardWhile walking forward, there is a pain when the leg is flexong at the knee. Followed bu the leg extending at the knee. What type of contraction of the hamstring muscles would occur during flexion of the leg and then during extension of the leg? eccentric/ concentric eccentric/ isometric concentric/ eccentric concentric/ isometricarrow_forward
- Most of the muscles of the skeleton are attached to areas very close to the joints, so their arms, although they are very small, their mechanisms allow the movement of the human body. (a) How are they considered from the point of view of force efficiency? (b) What are the biomechanical benefits?arrow_forwardA muscle that crosses on the side of the shoulder joint produces flexion of the arm. lateral O posterior O medial O anteriorarrow_forwardWhich of the following muscles would you expect to be the largest based on the name? a. Contractus muscularis maximus b. Contractus muscularis medius c. Contractus muscularis minimusarrow_forward
- The muscle labeled M is the muscle. A masseter (B) temporalis sternohyoideus masticatoryarrow_forward* These muscles (and subscapularis) form the rotator cuff which is a critical stabilizing element for the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint). Thus, one action for each of these muscles is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Examine the rotator cuff muscles in the cadaver and see if you can determine where the tendons incompletely surround the head of the humerus. What clinical significance does this have?arrow_forwardFlexors / ExtensorsQuestion:Muscle or muscles that answers the question:Contracting both heads of this muscle (deep to the platysma) causes flexion of the head.Contraction this muscle would cause the vertebral column to flex forward—used to do “sit-ups”.As a group, these muscles extend (straighten the angle of) the knee. What is this group?As a group, these mucles flex the knee (decrease the angle between the thigh and lower leg). What is this group?arrow_forward
- During elbow flexion which muscles would NOT act to cause this action? Group of answer choices Biceps brachii All of these muscles would produce flexion at the elbow Flexor carpi radialis Brachialisarrow_forwardAfter throwing a baseball pitch, which muscles of the glenohumeral joint work to slow the motion of the shoulder? Consider one of flexor, internal rotator, external rotator or adductor.arrow_forwardA patient reports to you with complaints of "pain in the right buttock". After examining the patient, you determine that he has suffered damage to the sciatic nerve. Which of the following muscles may be affected by this injury?
