Muscular System Pre-test

The basis of all human movement is:

• Muscle Contraction

• Muscle shortening

• Joint action

• The muscular system

Major muscles involved in movement include:

• Deltoid and trapezius

• Biceps and triceps

• Quadraceps and Hamstrings

• All of the above

Name different types of muscle tissue

Define agonist

Define antagonist

In the joint action (flexion) during a bicep curl, which muscle is the agonsit?

• Tricep

• Deltoid

• Bicep

• trapezius

Name the different types of muscle contraction

The type of contraction where a muscl length shortens is:

• isometric

• isotonic

• Eccentric

• Concentric

An isometric muscle contraction occurs when:

• The muscle length shortens

• The muscle lengthens during contraction

• The muscle generates force against a fixed resistance, but does not move.

• The muscle is stabilised

Describe the various roles of major muscles involved in a bicpe curl: which is the agonist, thenantagonist and the stabiliser.
