Connective Tissue Components
Muscle that is covered by a course sheath.
What is the epimysium?
Attaches to the origin.
What is a joint?
The movements that are most frequently produced.
Band-like muscle that is not visible.
What is the Longus Colli?
Runs in different directions of the abdominal wall.
What are the internal and external oblique muscles?
Groups of skeletal muscle fibers.
Toward where does the insertion bone move along a line of force.
What is the origin bone?
Muscles that generally function as joint stabilizers.
What are Fixator Muscles?
Muscles that serve as strong extensors that return the head to the upright position after flexion.
What is the Splenius Capitis?
Runs at almost right angles to those of the external oblique.
What are the internal oblique muscles?
Sheets of fibrous connective tissue form these double-walled tubes.
What are tendon sheaths?
The point of attachment that does not move when the muscle contacts.
What is the origin?
Muscles that contract at the same time as the prime mover.
What are Synergists?
Muscle that flattens during inspiration.
What is the Diaphragm?
The tough band of connective tissue fused by the rectus sheaths.
What is the linea alba?
Muscles that sit on the sides of your abdomen and help you twist your body.
What are Oblique muscles?
The point of attachment that moves when the muscle contracts.
What is the Insertion?
Muscles that, when contracting, directly oppose prime movers.
What are Antagonists?
Muscles that cause extension to the head when acting together.
What is the Longissimus Capitis?
Layer that has to be removed to better visualize the rectus abdominis muscle.
What is the rectus sheath?
What is a Tendon?
The side abdominal muscles anchor along the lower part of your torso in this area.
What is the hip bone (iliac crest)?
A muscle that directly performs a specific movement.
What is the prime mover?
The longissimus capitis runs from this to the mastoid process of the temporal bone.
What is the neck vertebrae?
This muscle helps you do a sit-up, bend forward, and protects your stomach.
What is the Rectus Abdominis?
