Muscles
The three types of muscle groups.
What are the cardiac skeletal and smooth muscles?
These muscles are the antagonist to the Internal Intercostals.
What are the External Intercostals?
The thorax (ribcage) houses these important organs.
What are the lungs and heart?
These muscles activate for inspiration while the abdominal muscles and internal intercostals release.
What are the diaphragm and external intercostals?
General Terms: This term means “toward the front”.
What is Anterior or Ventral?
Muscles that are voluntarily controlled.
What are the skeletal muscles?
The bowl-shaped muscle that sits below the lungs and above the stomach is_
What is the diaphragm?
This organ is made of spongy elastic material.
What are the lungs?
The amount of muscles/ muscle group involved in the breath cycle.
What is 4 muscles/ muscle group?
How does the thorax move?
What is transversely ribs expand out, vertically diaphragm descends, anteriorly and posteriorly (sternum moves)?
This organ is composed of cardiac muscles.
What is the heart?
The Internal intercostals and abdominal muscles are considered_
What are Expiratory Muscles?
There are this many of each type of vertebrae in the spine.
What is 7 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar?
These muscles activate during step 3 of the breath cycle.
What are the internal intercostals?
A law that states “In a soft walked enclosure at a constant temperature, pressure and volume are inversely related”.
What is Boyle‘s Law?
Muscles that are paired together but activate in opposite directions at opposite times are_
What are muscular antagonists?
The measurement for how much the diaphragm lowers and flattens.
What is 3-5 cm?
The lungs have these numbers of lobes (to make room for an organ).
What is two lobes on the left and 3 on the right? (What is the heart?)
During expiration, this process allows for the lung tissue and ribs to move toward a point of equilibrium.
What is elastic recoil?
A teaching tool that keeps the ribs expanded.
What is Appoggio?
How muscles are named.
What is the point of origin and point of attachment or insertion?
This chain reaction allows for the diaphragm, lungs, trachea, and larynx to descend.
What is tracheal pull?
How many pairs of ribs make up the thorax and how are they attached?
What is the top 4 attach from the spine to the sternum, 5-10 attach from the spine to another rib or rib above, and 11-12 are free floating and attach to the spine? (lol)
The final step of the breath cycle.
What is the abdominal muscles activating to squeeze out more air?
Name some muscles with antagonistic relationships?
What are the Thyroarytenoid muscles and Cricothyroid muscles, bicep tricep muscles, quad and hamstrings?
