Muscular system Muscular system Skeletal muscle Smooth muscle Cardiac muscle Muscular system Skeletal muscle: oMuscle attached to the bones of the skeleton and move it oExample :muscles of the upper and lower limb oVoluntary control (somatic nervous system) oStriated and multinucleated muscle fibers Muscular system Smooth muscle: oSite: GIT-urinary bladder-blood vessels-respiratory tract oInvoluntary control (autonomic nervous system) oSpindle shaped muscle fibers with single nucleus Muscular system Cardiac muscle: oSite: myocardium of the heart oAutonomically regulated –spontaneous contraction oStriated muscle fibers with single nucleus oFibers branch and fuse together to form syncytium Muscular system Muscular system Terms of movement Terms of movement Flexion: bending Extension : straightening Terms of movement Flexion: bending Extension : straightening Terms of movement abduction: movement away from median plane adduction :movement towards median plane Terms of movement Circumduction: flexion-abduction-extention –adduction Example: shoulder-hip joint Terms of movement Medial rotation: anterior surface of the bone face medially Lateral rotation: anterior surface of the bone face laterally Terms of movement supination Pronation Terms of movement Inversion Eversion
