- Any abnormal condition of skeletal muscles is known as _______________________.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is NOT true of an eccentric contraction? Contraction produces a greater force than a concentric contraction. Contraction is used as an acceleration activity. Muscle attachments move farther apart. Movement occurs with gravity.arrow_forwardthe muscle that is "mainly" responsible for a movement is called the? the muscle that acts in opposition of the movement is called the? what two terms describe a body temp either above or below normal? the muscular function of maintaining posture is possible due to what type of contraction?arrow_forward
- What best explains the inability to fully contract a muscle when the muscle is first shortened prior to contraction? Sub-threshold stimulus to the muscle Rigor mortis limits contraction synaptic fatigue has taken place Loss of motor units The filaments cannot side as fararrow_forwardPlease choose all the correct statements regarding muscles. The part of a muscle that attaches to the bone that it moves is called the "origin". When the contraction of a muscle makes the angle of the bones the muscle is attached to smaller, a flexion has occurred. Antagonistic muscles have opposite actions.arrow_forwardDescribe each muscle needed to contract for specific movement and each muscles action during that action. Each muscle firing is it's own step. Something simple like kicking a ball is one action with multiple muscles firing it that action. You need at least 5 muscles involved in your action Example: Description: Picking up a glass of water. Muscles: Biceps, brachialis. Step 1: The brachialis has an origin at the humerus and inserts at the ulna. Contracting is a flexion action. Example: The [Muscle] has an origin at the [Bone] and inserts at the [Bone]. Contracting is a [Action] actionarrow_forward

It affects only antigravity muscles It causes flaccid paralysis It occurs in an upper motor neuron lesion It affects both gravity and antigravity musclesarrow_forwardThe ________ opposes or resist, the action caused by the prime mover Antagonist Prime mover Agonist synergist Th ________of as muscle is the tendinous attachment on the bone that moves the least during contraction of the muscle Belly Insertion Origin architecture The _________of a muscle is the tendinous attachment on the bone that moves the most during contraction of the muscle Architecture Insertion Origin bellyarrow_forwardStriped muscles fibers are held together with: adipose tissue areolar connective tissue yellow fiberous tissue white fibrous tissue Since osteocytes are stationary cells that help make strong bones, they cannot move to get nutrients. Nutrients have to travel to the osteocytes. Nutrients will travel from the blood in the central canal to the osteocytes via canaliculi lamellae plasma O reticulararrow_forward
- Tennis elbow (lateral epicondylitis) is Due to repetitive microtraumas. O More common than medial epicondylitis. O Often involves injury to the extensor carpi radialis brevis muscle. All of the above Question 5arrow_forwardWhich of the following statements are true? Multiple Choice Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because if one muscle shortens during contraction, the opposing muscle across the joint must relax. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because tendons lengthen during contraction. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because muscles lengthen during contraction. Muscles work in antagonistic pairs because if one muscle pushes during contraction, the opposing muscle across the joint must pull.arrow_forwardWhich of the following movements among the nine muscle groups?
