Muscles 4th Quiz Liz

Liz's 4th Muscle Quiz (O,I,A)

QuestionAnswer
Concentric Contraction muscle SHORTENS during contraction (insertion moves toward origin)
Stretch Perform actions that are opposite the muscle's action.
Isometric Contraction ('same length') The muscle that is STRONGER in a given action at a given joint Active Muscle (strongest muscles)
Slack Passively do the muscle action.(You do it for them)
Extensors Muscles that cross a joint posteriorly (except knee, which crosses the joint anteriorly)
Eccentric Contraction muscle LENGTHENS during concentration (origin & insertion move further apart)
Antagonist Muscle capable of performing the OPPOSITE action to that of the agonist (& its synergists)Passive Muscle
Flexors Muscles that cross the long axis of a joint anteriorly (except knee, which crosses the joint posteriorly) will most likely flex that joint.
Synergist A muscle that ASSIST the agonist in a given action at a giving joint; Usually weaker than the agonist Active Muscle
Abductors muscles that cross a joint laterally
Agonist or Prime Movers The muscle that is STRONGER in a given action at a given joint Active Muscle (strongest muscles)
Adductors muscles that cross a joint medially
Fixator These muscles STABILIZE the joint during movement.
Rotators muscles that cross a joint obliquely
