How many muscles do we have?

600

All muscle contraction depends on what?

ATP

Which of the two main pathways of ATP synthesis requires a continual supply of oxygen?

Aerobic respiration

Which of the two main pathways of ATP synthesis yields more ATP?

Aerobic respiration

Muscle functions include heat production. How much of our body heat comes from muscles and from which muscles?

As much as 85% of our body heat by skeletal muscles

Muscle compartments are very snugly contained in their fasciae. If a blood vessel in a compartment is damaged by overuse or contusion (a bruising injury), what happens?

Blood and tissue fluid accumulate in the compartment. The inelastic fascia prevents the compartment from expanding to relieve the pressure. Mounting pressure triggers a sequence of degenerative events called compartment syndrome. Blood flow to compartment is obstructed by pressure on its arteries. If poor blow flow persists, nerves begin to die. After 6 hours, so does muscle tissue. Nerves can regenerate but muscle cannot. It is irreversible. Breakdown of muscle releases myoglobin into blood, causes dark urine. Treatment: rest limb and possible incision to release pressure.

What is the function of the infra hyoid group of muscles?

By fixing the hyoid from below they enable the suprahyoid muscles to open the mouth. They depresses the hyoid after it has been elevated, aids in singing high or low notes by elevating or depressing larynx

These muscles form rings around certain body openings. When they contract, they constrict the opening and tend to prevent the passage of material through it. Examples: orbiculares oculi of the eyelids and anal sphincters.

Circular muscles (sphincter)

Name a muscle in the deep perineal space and state a function of it.

Compressor urethrae, in females only, aids in urine retention.

Muscles are specialized for one major purpose. What is it?

Converting the chemical energy in ATP into the mechanical energy of. motion.

What is the role of the endomysium?

Creates room for blood capillaries and nerve fibers to reach every muscle fiber, ensuring that no muscle cell is without stimulation and nourishment.

What is the role of the digastric muscle in chewing and swallowing?

Depresses mandible opens mouth widely, elevates hyoid

The four pairs of muscles that produce the biting and chewing movements involve 5 actions. What are they?

Depression to ope the mouth for receiving food Elevation for biting off a piece of food or crushing it between the teeth Protraction. so that the incisors meet in cutting off a piece of food Retraction to draw the lower incisors behind the upper incisors and make the rear teeth meet lateral and medial excursion- the side to side movements that bring food

Explain what happens in rigor mortis?

Deteriorating sarcoplasmic reticulum releases Ca+2 which enters cytosol and activates myosin-actin cross-bridging Muscle contracts but cannot relax because relaxation requires ATP and ATP production is no longer produced after death; so fibers remain contracted until myofilaments begin to decay. Rigor mortis peaks about 12 hours after death, then diminishes over the next 48-60 hours.

How do the 3 pairs of pharyngeal constrictors work with swallowing?

During swallowing, they contract in order from superior to middle to inferior to drive food into the esophagus.

Describe the relationship of endomysium, perimysium and epimysium to each other.

Endomysium surrounds each muscle fiber. Perimysium wraps muscle fibers in bundles. Epimysium surrounds the entire muscle.

What muscles are used more often, the external intercostals or internal intercostals? Explain.

External intercostals: In expiration, the internal intercostals depress and retract the ribs expelling air but only in forceful expiration, not in relaxed breathing.

What is the sheet of connective tissue that separates neighboring muscles or muscle groups from each other and from the subcutaneous tissue called?

Fascia

These muscles are thick in the middle and tapered at each end. The biceps brachia of the arm and gastrocnemius of the alf are examples of this type.

Fusiform muscles

Explain Extensibility, a characteristic of muscles.

In order to contract, a muscle cell must also be extensible- able to stretch again between contractions. Most cells rupture if they are stretched even a little, but skeletal muscle cells can stretch to as much as 3x their contracted length.

Explain Contractility, a characteristic of muscles.

Muscle cells are unique in their ability to shorten substantially when stimulated. This enables them to pull on bones and other organs to create movement.

Muscle functions include glycemic control. Explain.

Muscles absorb and store glucose which helps regulate blood sugar concentration within normal range

These muscles have a fairly uniform width and parallel fascicles. Some are elongated straps such as the rectus abdomens of the abdomen, sartorial of the thigh and zygomaticus major of the face. Other are more squarish and are called quadrilateral. These muscles can span long distances and they shorten more than other muscle types.

Parallel

These muscles are feather-shaped. Their fascicles insert obliquely on a tendon that runs the length of the muscle, like the shaft of a feather.

Pennate muscle

Muscle functions include control of openings and passageways. Explain

Sphincters; internal muscular rings that control the movement of food, blood and other materials within the body.

Explain conductivity, a characteristic of muscles.

Stimulation of a muscle cell produces more than a local effect. Local electrical excitation sets off a wave of excitation that travels rapidly along the cell and initiates processes leading to contraction.

Name a major superficial muscle and two major deep muscles of the back.

Superficial: trapezius or latissimus dorsi 2 major deep muscles: semispinalis thoracic, Quadratus lumborum

This is a muscle that aids the prime mover. Two or more of these acting on a joint can produce more power than a single larger muscle.

Synergist

How does a synergist, antagonist and fixator affect the action of a prime mover?

Synergist aids prime mover; antagonist opposes it. Fixator prevents a bone from moving, allowing another muscle attached to it to pull on something else.

T tubules

What acts as a calcium reservoir and releases calcium through channels to activate contraction?

Terminal cisterns

What role do the intercostal muscles play in respiration?

The primary function of the intercostal muscles is to stiffen the thoracic cage during respiration so that it does not cave inward when the diaphragm descends. They also contribute to enlargement/contraction of the thoracic cage to add to the air volume that ventilates the lungs.

Define perineum

Thick, think and elastic

How do the infrahyoid muscles work in chewing and swallowing?

Thyrohyoid elevates larynx during swallowing so that its opening is sealed by a the epiglottis. The sternothyroid muscle the pulls down the larynx so you can resume breathing. The sternohyoid lowers the hyoid bone.

What is a T tubule and two terminal cisterns associated with it called?

Triad

These muscles are fan shaped, broad at one end and narrower at the other. Examples include the pectorals major in the chest and the temporals on the side of the head. Despite their small localized insertions on a bone, these muscles are relatively strong because they have a large number of fibers in the wider part.

Triangular (convergent) muscles

Explain how an inguinal hernia forms

Viscera protrude through a weak point in the muscular wall of the abdominopelvic cavity. When pressure rises in the abdominopelvic cavity, it can force part of the intestine or bladder into the canal or even the scrotum. Can occur when men hold their breath when lifting weights. These rarely occur in women.

Other things being equal, give one reason why Alice may have an easier time with her childbirth than Martha will.

Voluntary contractions of the abdominal muscles aids the process of childbirth. Alice will be able to "push' more effectively due to the strength of her abdominal muscies. from her fitness routine more than the sedentary woman.

Why do humans have more expressive faces than other mammals?

We have a complex array of muscles that insert in the dermis and subcutaneous tissues.

Explain elasticity, a characteristic of muscles.

When a muscle cell is stretched and then released, it recoils to a shorter length. It if were not for this elastic recoil, resting muscles would be too slack.

Explain excitability (responsiveness) as part of the characteristics of a muscle.

When stimulated by chemical signals, stretch, and other stimuli, muscle cells respond with electrical changes across the plasma membrane.
