Muscle Fiber Anatomy
Skeletal System
Vocab Concepts
Planes of Motion/Agonist/Antagonist
Misc:
100
The outermost layering of the muscle fiber

Epimysium

100

this skeletaon Made up of the limbs of the body

Appendicular

100

A cycle known as Eccentric loading to prepare for rapid concentric contraction

Stretch shortening cycle

100

The muscle that is known as the prime mover 

Agonist

100

Name of motion when the scapula is pulled back/together

retraction

200
Connects Bone to muscle

Tendon

200

break down bone cells

osteoclasts

200

The phase that occurs between an eccentric(loading) phase and a concentric(unloading) phase is known as what?

Ammortization phase

200

Deep musculature that is engaged during workouts/exercises to maintain stability and balance are known as what?

stabilizors

200

This muscle system is known for deep musculature that usually is attached to the spine and known for being stabilizers of the body

Local Muscular system

300

The act/theory of actin and myosin crossing each other and shortening to create a contraction

Sliding filoment theory

300

projections found on bones that are sites of muscle attachments

Processes

300

muscles that are either too long or too short at resting length and leads to muscle imbalance is known as what?

Altered Length Tension Relationship

300

what plane of motion is a squat performed in?

Sagittal

300

A pull up is an open/closed chain exercise?

Closed

The distal end(hands) are fixed and not moving

400

The most inner(deepest) covering/layer of a muscle fiber

endomysium

400

The law that states remoding occurs along the lines of stress in the body

Wolffs law

400

A nervous system impulse provided to the muscle that tells the agonist muscle to contract and the antagonist muscle to relax at the same time.

reciprocal inhibition

400

A russian twist is performed in what plane of motions

Transverse

400

When moving through all muscle actions including concentric/isometric/eccentric, this is known as?

Muscle Action Spectrum
500

This mineral binds to the protein troponin and is essential for muscle contraction to happen

Calcium

500

The center portion of a long bone as a whole is known as:

Diaphysis

500

With increased speed(velocity) of this type of contraction the amount of force decreases.


With decreased speed(velocity) the amount of force increases. 

Concentric

500

What plane of motion is a push up performed in?

Sagittal

500

This process is described as muscles that activate in preperation of a movement that is about to occur and is normally perfomed by our deep, stabilizing muscles
