FASCICLE ARRANGEMENT AND COORDINATION

these are bundles of muscle fibers

does the arrangement of fascicles determine the power and range of motion?

the longer the fibers = _______ ROM, ______ power

the more fibers per cross section = ________ power, ______ ROM

what are the types of fascicle arrangements

type of fascicle arrangement that runs parallel to the muscles long axis and has fewer fascicle, long fibers

a type of fascicle arrangement that is nearly parallel, but muscle tapers at the both ends

the fibers of a fusiform muscle is _____ on the belly, _____ near the tendons

the ROM of a fusiform muscle is _______ than power, but stronger than pure parallel

a type of fascicle arrangemnet that ia arranged concentrically around an opening

this are also known as sphincters

what is the arrangement of a circular muscle?

a type of fascicle arrangement that the broad area of a fascicle converges at a single tendon and it allows versatile direction of pull

a type of fascicle arrangement that its short fascicles are attached obliquely to the tendon

what are the types of pennate muscle

this is the main muscle that causes the movement (prime mover)

this opposes the action of the prime mover, it either relaxes or stretches

this is the muscle that assist the agonist muscle

what are the fx of a synergist muscle?

the muscle that stablizes the origin of the agonist muscle and it allows the muscle to act more efficiently
