Muscle Types and Properties
What are irritability and excitability?
This term refers to our freely movable joints and has six classifications, including condyloid, trochoidal, arthrodial, enarthrodial, saddle, and ginglymus.
What is diarthrodial?
What is 206?
Kinesiology is the study of these three principles and how they relate to human movement.
What is anatomy, physiology, and mechanics?
These muscles make up our rotator cuff and are responsible for stabilizing the humeral head during movements.
The pectoralis major is an example of this muscle type when referring to its fiber arrangement.
What is a convergent muscle?
The radiocarpal joint is this joint type.
What is a condyloid/ellipsoid/ovoid/biaxial joint?
The patella is known as the largest of this bone type.
What is a sesamoid bone?
This position is used when trying to determine what plane and axis a movement is occurring in.
What is the anatomical position?
This term is the anatomical term for the hip joint.
What is coxal?
Due to the larger number of muscle fibers, resulting in an increase in cross-sectional area, this muscle type has a significantly higher force production than its counterpart.
What are pennate muscles?
These joint types are slightly movable. An example of these joint types are the growth plates found in adolescents.
What are amphiarthodial/cartilaginous joints?
This process is completed by our bones and involves the production of platelets and RBCs.
What is hemopoiesis?
This movement refers to moving an extremity away from the midline of the body.
What is ABDuction?
This anatomical term refers to structures that are farther away from the trunk or their point of attachment.
What is distal?
This behavioral property refers to a muscle's ability to return to its normal length after a short period of time.
What is elasticity?
This joint type can have movement in all three planes of motion and involves to flat surfaces against each other.
What are arthrodial/plane/gliding joints?
This structure is an example of a cavity and houses the proximal tendon of our long head biceps brachii.
What is the intertubercular groove?
These movements only occur at the proximal and distal radioulnar joints.
What is pronation and supination?
This is the anatomical term for the collarbone.
What is the clavicle?
This muscle is responsible for stopping unwanted action at the mobile attachment of the muscle that is working by creating a contraction force that is equal in strength but opposite in direction to the force of the unwanted action.
What is a neutralizer?
Joint arthrokinematics refers to these three movements that can occur between articular surfaces.
What are roll, spin and glide?
These structures serve as an attachment site for our upper appendicular skeleton.
What are the scapula and clavicle? (a.k.a. pectoral girdle)
Cervical rotation occurs within this plane and axis of movement.
What is the transverse plane and vertical axis?
These are the five functions of the skeletal system.
What are protection, support, movement, storage, and hemopoiesis?
