response to nervous stimuli

excitability

100

responds to changes in body's need for oxygen - found in walls of heart. cannot be controlled

cardiac

100

allows for free and painless flexion and extension of joints

ROM

100

Bacterial infection resulting in spasms and then paralysis of muscles

tetanus

100

Which muscle would MOST likely be used to administer a flu vaccination (0.5 mL) to a 22 years old man?

deltoid

100

Which muscle is represented by "R"?

pectoralis

100

Which muscle is represented by "A"?

occipitalis

200

shortening and thickening that results in movement

contractability

200

involuntary responds to the autonomic nervous system; non-striated. cannot be controlled

visceral or smooth

200

circular movement turning a body part on its axis

circumduction

200

results from excessive stretching of a muscle

200

Which muscle would MOST likely be used to administer a flu vaccination to a 9 months old infant?

vastus lateralis or rectus femoris

200

Which muscle is represented by "P"?

sternocleidomastoid

200

Which muscle is represented by "E"?

triceps

300

allows muscle to return to original shape after movement

elasticity

300

striated; contracts quickly and tires easily. can be controlled

skeletal or voluntary

300

results in a decrease in the angle between body parts

flexion (bending)

300

results in muscular weakness and eventual paralysis, is genetic and occurs more frequently in young boys

muscular dystrophy (Duchenne's type)

300

paralysis of these muscles, between the ribs, may result in death

intercostal muscles

300

Which muscle is represented by "L"?

latissimus dorsi

300

Which muscle is represented by "C"?

trapezius

400

muscle stretching

extensibility

400

ability to produce heat and energy

skeletal muscles

400

results in straightening of a body part

extension

400

occurs when muscles shorten and thicken permanently due to lack of use

contractures

400

when a muscle attaches to a bone, the end that does not move is known as the ____

origin

sartorius

400

Which muscle is represented by "Q"

peroneus longus

500

type of muscle that contracts in unison or at the same time

cardiac

500

TWO methods of muscle attachment to bone and stabilization

tendons and fascia

500

body part is moved towards the midline or midsagittal plane

adduction

500

disorder that affects the sternocleidomastoid muscle

torticollis

500
disorder that is more common in older women and results in decrease in calcium and weakening of the bones
