    Study Notes

    Lecture Fourteen: The Muscular System – I

    • Learning Objectives:
      • Review details of the muscular system.
      • Define range of motion (ROM) and how it's assessed in patients.
      • Define extrinsic and intrinsic back muscles.
      • Differentiate between layers of back muscles.
      • Identify origins, insertions, and actions/functions of back, neck, shoulder, and arm muscles.

    Introduction to Muscles

    • Muscles convert chemical energy (ATP) into mechanical energy (and heat).
    • Anatomical terms beginning with "myo" or "mys" refer to muscles.
    • Muscle fibers (myofibers) are elongated muscle cells (skeletal or smooth).
    • Cardiac muscle cells are not elongated and interconnected.

    Our Focus for This Unit (KINE 1101): Skeletal Muscle

    • Skeletal muscle is consciously controlled (somatic nervous system).
    • Skeletal muscle is rich with blood supply.
    • Each muscle fiber has a nerve ending (motor unit) that tells the muscle to contract.

    Range of Motion (ROM)

    • Active ROM: Movement occurring around a joint or body part with muscle activation.
    • Passive ROM: Movement occurring around a joint or body part without muscle activation (manually moved by a healthcare practitioner).
    • Active-Assisted ROM: Muscles are activated, but the movement is assisted.
