Skeletal Muscular system Objectives Know muscle Group or compartment Location Function Origin and insertion Innervation Synergists and antagonists Skeletal Muscular system voluntary movements of body through space includes skeletal striated muscle every cell innervated (neuropathy or denervation atrophy) (levels of severity: neuropraxia, axonotmesis, neurotmesis) Origin – stationary point of muscle attachment Slip – segmented origin Insertion – affected point of muscle attachment Gaster – muscle belly, contractile, muscular and connective tissues Dense regular connective tissues Tendon – dense regular connective tissue often used as origin or insertion Aponeurosis – flat, sheet-like tendon Endomysium – invests muscle fibers (cells) Perimysium – invests muscle fascicles Epimysium or fascia – invests entire muscle gaster or groups of muscles into compartments Skeletal Muscular system Synergist – muscles with similar function, usually in the same compartment and with the same innervation Antagonist – muscles with opposing function, usually in opposite compartments and with different innervation, but sometimes antagonists work synergistically Facilitator or fixator – a muscle that stabilizes the origin of another Intrinsic – located within the structure that is affected Extrinsic – located outside the structure that is affected Naming of muscles based on any
