Anatomy Assignment 2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| The innermost muscle of the abdominal wall is the | Transverse abdominis |
| The common tendon of the gastrocnemius and soleus is called the | calcaneal tendon |
| The fibrous connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle and is outside the epimysium and tendon is called the | Fascia |
| The term ___ is used to describe a muscle that directly performs a specific movement | Agonist |
| The continuous low level of sustained contraction maintained by all skeletal muscles is muscle ___ | Tone |
| In addition to the pectoralis major, another muscle that displays this pattern of fascicle arrangement is Latissimus dorsi | Convergent |
| The muscle fascicle arrangement for Orbicularis oris is best characterized as | Circular |
| Muscles that move the wrist, hand, and fingers can be | Extrinsic or intrinsic |
| The long axes of the fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle is a description of this type of fascicle arrangement | Parallel |
| The muscle that helps hold the scapula against the thorax and is useful in pushing or pinching movements is the | Serratus anterior |
| An example of a muscle with this type of fascicle arrangement is the orbicularis oris | Circular |
| Muscles with this type of muscle fascicle arrangement are either fusiform or straplike in appearance | Parallel |
| The point of attachment that does not move when the muscle contracts is the | Origin |
| The sartorius muscle, a thin straplike muscle would have muscle fascicles arranged in | Parallel |
| Muscles that move the forearm include what? | Brachioradial s, pronator teres, biceps brachii |
| The individual muscle fibers are covered by a connective tissue membrane called the | Endomysium |
| A muscle with fascicles that insert into only one side of the tendon is categorized as | Unipennate |
| This arrangement of muscle fascicles tends to be triangular in shape. The Pectoralis major is an example of a muscle with this type of muscle fascicle arrangement | Convergent |
| The biceps brachii has this fascicle arrangement, which maximizes the range of motion possible | Parallel |
| A muscle with fascicles that insert into the tendon from both sides is categorized as | Bipennate |
