tendon belongs to

stretch the cervical portion of the spinal column and the head at the atlanto-occipital joint

A movement at a synovial joint in which the distal end of the bone moves in a circle while the proximal end remains relatively stable

fasicle

sites on the thin filaments that are blocked by tropomyosin; myosin heads bind to sites

an unbending movement around a joint in a limb that increases the angle between the bones of the limb at the joint

-movement in posterior direction

great range of motion (flexion, extension and abduction, adduction)

-one of the bones forming the joint is shaped like a saddle w the other bone resting on it like a rider on a horse

3 section muscle along back of upper arm, from should to elbow

origin- third to fifth ribs

insertion- medial border and superior surface of the coracoid process of the scapula

action- stabilizes the scapula by drawing it inferiority and anteriorly against the thoracic wall, raises ribs in inspiration

largest outermost muscle found in the human buttocks

movement from midline of body

origin- fleshy slips from the outer surface of 8 or 9 ribs

insertion- costal aspect of medial margin of the scapula

action- protracts and stabilizes scapula, assist in upward rotation

-responsible for movement allows for large movements to happen (synovial fluid, cartilage and muscles/ tension)

-covered by a layer of hyaline cartilage that lines the epiphysis of joint ends of bone with a smooth, slippery surface that doesn't bind them together (joint capsule and ligaments in joint structure)

upper and mid back that Extends, adducts, and medially rotates the arm; draws the shoulder downward and backward

a thin type of protein filament composed of actin proteins that forms part of the cytoskeleton and supports the plasma membrane and plays a key role in cell strength, shape and movement

Type of glial cell in the CNS that wrap axons in a myelin sheath

lower back

muscle always pull and get shorter

bending the foot in the direction of the plantar surface (sole)

Supporting cells of the peripheral nervous system responsible for the formation of myelin

continuous, forceful muscular contraction without relaxation

contains nucleus and most organelles

the neuron extension that passes messages through its branches to other neurons or to muscles or glands

moving a bone around its own axis, with no other movement (pivot or revolve)

-mating surfaces that are slightly curved and may be either avoid or seller

-only a small amount of gliding movement is found

not striated, involuntary, walls of hallow visceral organs, except the heart

large four section muscle found in frontal upper leg: made up by rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis & vasstus intermedius
