Study Notes
Anatomical Directional Terms
- Superior: Above/towards the head
- Inferior: Below/away from the head
- Anterior: Front
- Posterior: Back
- Proximal: Closer to the trunk
- Distal: Away from the trunk
- Medial: Towards the midline
- Lateral: Away from the midline
Planes of Motion
- Sagittal: From the side
- Transverse: From the top
- Frontal: From the front
Types of Movement
- Flexion/Extension
- Abduction/Adduction
- Lateral/Medial Rotation
- Plantar/Dorsiflexion
Muscle Contraction Types
- Concentric: Muscle tension and shortening
- Eccentric: Muscle tension and lengthening
- Isometric: Muscle tension with no change in length
- Passive: Muscle not in tension
Muscle Roles
- Agonist: Muscles responsible for movement
- Antagonist: Muscles opposing agonists
- Stabilizers: Muscles stabilizing joints
- Synergists: Muscles assisting agonists
Muscle Functions
- Movement production
- Posture maintenance
- Substance storage and movement
- Heat generation and thermoregulation
Muscle Fiber Types
- Parallel
- Pennate
Pennation Angle
- Angle between muscle fibers and the axis of rotation
- Allows for greater muscle contraction force
Muscle Attachments
- Origin: Attachment nearer the body's center
- Insertion: Attachment further from the body's center - pulled towards the origin during muscle contraction
Types of Movement
- Linear: Up and down (e.g. squat up and down motion)
- Rotational: Movement around a joint (e.g. hip, knee, and ankle during squat)
Torque
- Force multiplied by the perpendicular distance from the pivot point
