100

The most important muscle responsible for breathing.

What is the diaphragm

100

These muscles make up the quadriceps femoris.

What are Rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus imtermedius and vastus medialis

100

The basic organization of sarcomere.

What is a segment between two neighboring Z-discs, which comprises of thick & thin filaments. Actin filaments are attached to Z-discs.
100

This muscle fascicle arrangement is seen in the orbicularis oris.

What is Circular.

100

This process aids in skeletal muscle relaxation after contraction.

What is acetylcholinesterease degrades acetylcholine

200

Prime mover of neck flexion.

Sternocleidomastoid

200

The hamstring muscles. 

Biceps femoris, semitendinosus and semimembranosus

200

The structural organization of skeletal muscle (from organ to myofilament) 

Muscle, fascicle, muscle fiber, myofibril, sarcomere, myofilament

200

Pectoralis major muscle fascicle arrangement. 

What is convergent 

200

Extensor muscles of the upper limb lie almost exclusively in this region of that limb

what is posterior

300
3 muscle columns that make up the erector spinae.

What are Iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis

300

4 muscles of the rotator cuff. 

Supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis


300

5 types of muscle fascicle arrangement.

What are Parallel, Convergent, Circular, Pennate, Fusiform

300

This muscle fascicle arrangement is seen in fusiform - biceps brachii & sternocleidomastoid (strap like)

parallel

300

When the diaphragm contracts. 

What is flatten

400

4 main pairs of muscles important for mastication. 

Masseter, temporalis, Pterygoid and buccinator

400

4 main muscles that form the abdominal wall. 

External oblique, Rectus abdominis internal oblique, Transversus abdominis

400

This muscle type, is red, hydrolyze ATP at a slow rate, slow contraction, very resistant to fatigue and high capacity to generate ATP by oxidative metabolic processes.

What is slow oxidative fibers

400

Muscle fascicle arrangement that follows: insert into one side of the tendon (extensor digitorum longus), insert into the tendon from both sides (rectus femoris), fascicles insert into one large tendon from all sides (deltoid). 

what is pennate

400

An important function of the soleus muscle.

What is plantar flex the foot

500

The prime mover of thigh flexion. 

Illiopsoas (made up of Psoas major and illiacus)

500

2 muscles that form the pelvic floor. 

Levator ani (Pubococcygeus, Iliococcygeus), Coccygeus


500

This muscle fiber type contain large amounts of myoglobin, many mitochondria and blood vessels. They are red, hydrolyze ATP at a slow rate, have a slow contraction velocity, very resistant to fatigue and have a high capacity to generate ATP by oxidative metabolic processes.

Fast oxidative fibers

500

The deepest muscle of the anterior abdominal wall. 

transverse abdominis

500

A deltoid injection is given here.

What is 5 cm below the greater tubercle of the humerus.
