The Muscular System
Muscle Attachment Sites
 Muscle exerts force on tendons, which in
turn pull on bones or other structures.
 When a muscle contracts, it pulls one of the
articulating bones toward the other.
Muscle Attachment Sites:
Origin & Insertion
 Origin – the site of a muscle’s attachment to
the more stationary bone.
 Insertion – the site of a muscle’s attachment
to the more movable bone.
 Often, the origin is proximal to the insertion.
 Belly – the fleshy part of the muscle between
the tendons of the origin and insertion.
Tenosynovitis
 Commonly known as tendinitis.
 Painful inflammation of the tendons, tendon
sheaths, and synovial membranes of the
joints.
 Trauma, strain, excessive exercise, chronic,
repetitive motions can all cause
tenosynovitis.
Lever Systems & Leverage
 A lever is a rigid structure that can move
around a fixed point called a fulcrum.
 Two forces act upon a lever:


Effort – causes movement.
Load (resistance) – opposes movement.
Lever Systems & Leverage
 Levers produce trade-offs between effort and
the speed and range of motion.
 Mechanical advantage (leverage) – a smaller
effort can move a heavier load – the effort
must move a greater distance.
 Mechanical disadvantage – a larger effort
moves a lighter load – the effort must move a
shorter distance and slower than the load.
Types of Levers
 First-class levers.






The fulcrum is between the effort and the load.
Scissors and seesaws are examples.
It can produce either a mechanical advantage or
disadvantage depending upon whether the effort or load
is placed closer to the fulcrum.
If an effort is placed farther from the fulcrum than the
load, a heavy load can be moved, but not fast or far.
If an effort is placed closer to the fulcrum than the load,
only a lighter load can be moved, but it moves far and
fast.
Raising the head at the atlanto-occipital joint.
Types of Levers
 Second-class levers.




The load is between the fulcrum and the effort.
An example is a wheelbarrow.
Always produces a mechanical advantage
because the load is always closer to the fulcrum
than the effort.
None present in the human body.
Types of Levers
 Third-class levers.




The effort is between the fulcrum and the load.
An example is a forceps.
Always produces a mechanical disadvantage
because the effort is always closer to the fulcrum
than the load.
This arrangement favors speed and range of
motion over force.
Effects of Fascicle
Arrangement
 Within a fascicle, all muscles are parallel to one
another.
 The fascicles may form patterns with respect to the
tendon:





Parallel.
Fusiform (cigar shaped).
Circular.
Triangular.
Pennate (feather shaped).
Effects of Fascicle
Arrangement
 Fascicular arrangement affects a muscle’s
power and range of motion.
 The longer the muscles in a fiber, the greater
the range of motion they can produce.
 The power of a muscle depends upon it’s
cross-sectional area (a short muscle fiber can
contract as powerfully as a long one).
Coordination Within Muscle
Groups
 Movements are typically the result of several
skeletal muscles acting as a group.
 Most skeletal muscles are arranged in opposing
(antagonistic) pairs at joints:

Flexors – extensors, abductors – adductors, etc.
 One muscle is called the prime mover (agonist)
which contracts to cause an action and the other
muscle is called the antagonist which stretches and
yields to the effects of the prime mover.
Coordination Within Muscle
Groups
 Synergists work with agonists to stabilize
intermediate joints and assist the prime mover.
 Fixators stabilize the origin of the prime mover so
that the prime mover can operate more efficiently.
 In limbs, a compartment is a group of skeletal
muscles, and their associated blood vessels and
nerves, that have a common function.

I.E. In the upper limbs with have flexor compartments
and extensor compartments.
Benefits of Stretching
 Improved physical performance – greater R.O.M.
 Decreased risk of injury – decreases the resistance
in tissues.
 Reduced muscle soreness.
 Improved posture – stretching helps realign soft
tissues.
 Muscles should be stretched at a point of slight
discomfort (not pain) for 15-30 seconds.
