    Study Notes

    Muscle Anatomy and Function

    • The word root "dyn" refers to strength.
    • The word root "my" refers to muscle.
    • The term "origin" refers to the attachment of a muscle to a non-moving bone or structure.
    • The term "adduction" describes moving a body part toward the midline.
    • The term "circumduction" means to make a circle with part of the body.
    • The term "anteversion" describes bringing a part of the body forward.

    Muscle Actions

    • The term "elevation" describes raising the shoulders or closing the jaw.
    • The term "flexion" describes bending a body part anteriorly (except in regard to the knee).
    • The term "rotation" means to spin on an axis.
    • A fixator is a muscle that stabilizes a joint, allowing other muscles to move.

    Muscle Structure and Function

    • The rectus abdominis muscle functions to compress the abdominal contents.
    • The frontalis muscle originates from the epicranial aponeurosis.
    • The sartorius muscle functions to flex the knee and rotate the femur laterally.
    • The gastrocnemius and soleus muscles work together to plantarflex the foot.

    Nervous System

    • The two major divisions of the nervous system are the central nervous system (CNS) and peripheral nervous system (PNS).
    • The CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord.
    • The PNS consists of nerves that connect the CNS to the rest of the body.
    • The cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) functions to cushion and protect the brain and spinal cord.
    • The meninges are the membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord.
    • The cerebral cortex is divided into lobes, including the frontal lobe, which is responsible for motor function and general senses like touch.

    Muscle Contraction

    • The theory of muscle contraction involves thick myofilaments grabbing thin myofilaments and pulling them toward the center of the sarcomere.
    • A power stroke is the movement of the thick myofilaments toward the center of the sarcomere.
    • In the relaxation phase, calcium is actively transported back to the sarcoplasmic reticulum.

    Nutrition and Muscle Function

    • The recommended daily allowance of protein for a person of average weight is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight.
    • The mineral magnesium is required for muscle cell function, in addition to essential and non-essential amino acids.

    Other

    • The muscular system functions to maintain posture, regulate body temperature, and facilitate movement.
    • The term "intrinsic" refers to muscles that originate within a body part, whereas "extrinsic" refers to muscles that originate outside of a body part.
    • The term "hernia" refers to a condition where part of the viscera protrudes through the abdominal wall.
