Tendons Tendon sheath= Connective tissue that surrounds and protects tendons where there is a long distance to attachment or over a joint.
Aponeurosis • Flat, ribbon-like tendon that attaches muscle to bone or muscle to muscle.
Fascia: fibrous membrane that encloses muscles and separates them into groups
Ligaments • Attach bone to cartilage orbone to bone • Aid orrestrict movement.
Origin: the _________of the two points of attachment The end of a muscle that is attached to the more “fixed” part of the skeleton
Insertion: the point of attachment by a muscle The Belly? The insertion moves when a muscle contracts.
Motor Nerve: causes muscle to move by stimulating a group of muscle fibers Nerve + Group of muscle cells = neuromotor unit (or motor unit)
Smooth Muscle: also called______,(organs) non-striated or involuntary muscle. Many of the internal organs are made of smooth muscle including:
Vasodilation / vasoconstriction Iris, Arteries
Cardiac muscle is involuntary but does show very fine striations
A muscle must depend on other muscles to assist in a desired movement. • For this reason muscles are called prime movers, antagonists and synergists.
