Muscles
100
This muscles are responsible for adducting the thighs, often become un-toned quickly.
What are the adductor muscles?
100
This type of exercise is optimal for generating stronger muscles
What is resistance or isometric training?
100
This is the main source of energy for movement of our muscles.
What is ATP?
100
This type of movement is around its longitudinal axis, as seen in our atlas and axis joint.
What is rotation?
100
This muscle makes up the majority of the buttock region.
What is the gluteus maximus?
200
This muscle is found in the neck and allows for its rotation.
What is the sternocleidomastoid?
200
This type of muscle is categorized by being striated and voluntary.
What is skeletal muscle?
200
This reaction occurs when muscles contract, it removes a phosphate from ATP and generates energy.
What is hydrolysis or ATP hydrolysis?
200
This is the opposite of adduction, and moves our limbs away from our midline.
What is abduction?
200
This group of muscles makes the anterior of our thigh, containing four major muscles including the three vastus muscles.
What are the quadriceps group?
300
This is the muscle that covers the shoulder joint. It is named after the Greek letter, Δ.
What is the deltoid?
300
This is the 'place' where a muscle starts its attachment.
What is the origin?
300
This is the normal way that we obtain energy, yielding the highest amount of ATP at 32 per glucose molecules.
What is aerobic respiration?
300
This type of movement means that a body part is being turned inward.
What is inversion?
300
This muscle makes up the posterior of our upper arm and is responsible for elbow extension.
What are triceps brachii?
400
This is the muscle of the upper back, it helps with movement of the scapula.
What is the trapezius?
400
These are the two types of muscle filaments that make up a sarcomere, the functional unit of the muscle cell.
What is actin and myosin?
400
This type of energy-making pathway does not require oxygen but has a low yield of 2 ATP.
What is anaerobic pathway?
400
This type of movement allowing bones to move closer together.
What is flexion?
400
This muscle is deep to the biceps brachii and helps in with elbow flexion.
What is the brachialis?
500
These muscles on our sides allow for trunk rotation.
What are external obliques?
500
This is the neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions, it gets released when there is enough Ca ions in the axon terminal.
What is acetlycholine or ACh?
500
This natural molecule in our bodies that is only found in muscle cells. This is responsible for direct phosphorylation of ADP to ATP.
What is creatine phosphate or CP?
500
This type of movement means "turning backward" when your forearm is rotated laterally.
What is supination?
500
This group of muscles makes up the posterior of our thigh and includes muscles like the bicep femoris.
What is the hamstring group?
600
This is the "upper" muscle of the buttock region that is important for IM injections.
What is the gluteus medius?
600
This homeostatic imbalance of the muscular system is when neurons break down over time and motor function begins to decline.
What is ALS or Lou Gehrig's Disease?
600
This type of energy-making pathway is responsible for making energy that will last hours.
What is the aerobic pathway?
600
This is the movement of the foot by pointing them away from your body.
What is plantar flexion?
600
This muscle runs across you shin to aid in dorsiflexion and foot inversion.
What is the tibialis anterior?
