| MYOLOGY | study of muscles |
| MUSCULAR SYSTEM | The system that covers, shapes and supports the skeleton |
| INSERTION | moveable part of the muscle |
| Occipitalis | Back of the epicranius; muscle that draws the scalp backward. |
| Frontalis | front portion of the epicranius; the muscle of the scalp that raises the eyebrows, draws the scalp forward, and causes wrinkles across the forehead |
| Sternocleidomastoideus | Muscle of the neck that lowers and rotates the head. (Nodding) |
| BICEPS BRACHI | Muscle that produces the contour of the front and inner side of the upper arm; lifts the forearm and flexes the elbow. |
| DELTOID | Large, triangular muscle covering the shoulder joint that allows the arm to extend outward and to the side of the body. |
| TRICEPS BRACHI | Large muscle that covers the entire back of the upper arm and extends the forearm. |
| TRAPEZIUS | broad, flat, superficial muscle extending from the cervical to thoracic region on the posterior aspect of the neck and trunk |
| MUSCLE ORIGIN | end of muscle that attaches to immoveable part of the bone--proximal |
| MUSCLE INSERTION | end of the muscle that moves during contraction-distal |
| TENDON | attaches muscle to bone |
| FRONTALIS | Action: raises eyebrows and wrinkles forehead. |
| DIAPHRAGM | primary muscle used in respiration, dome-shaped muscle is located just below the lungs and heart |
| PECTORAL | connect the front of the human chest with the bones of the upper arm and shoulder. |
| RHOMBOID | Rhombus -shaped muscles associated with the scapula |
| ABDUCTOR MUSCLES | the muscles that rotate an arm or leg to the side of the body. |
| ADDUCTOR MUSCLES | any of the muscles that draw a part of the body toward its median line or toward the axis of an extremity |
| GLUTEUS MAXIMUS | largest gluteal muscle located in the buttocks. Not only does it help move the thigh, it gives shape to the buttocks itself. |
| GLUTEUS MEDIUS | middle gluteal muscle, located deep to the gluteus maximus and superficial to the gluteus minimus |
| BICEPS FEMORIS | most lateral hamstring muscle |
| TERES | muscle of the upper limb |
| GRACILUS | re superficial bands of muscle that start at the lower part of your pelvis (called the pubic ramus) and run down your inner thigh and past the inner knee, where it connects with the upper part of your shin bone (tibia). |
| SOLEUS | runs from just below the knee to the heel, and is involved in standing and walking. It is closely connected to the gastrocnemius muscle and some anatomists |
| RECTUS ABDOMINAL | located in the front of the body, beginning at the pubic bone and ending at the sternum--hold your internal organs in place and keep your body stable during movement |
| OBLIQUE | are found lateral to the torso. There are two layers (internal & external) |
| FATIGUE | caused by repeated muscle contraction without rest |
| SLIDING FILAMENT MODEL | describes/explains muscle contraction |
| LACTIC ACID | builds up in muscles during rapid exercise |
| ISOTONIC CONTRACTION | muscle shortens and produces movemen |
| ISOMETRIC CONTRACTION | muscle tenses and produces no movement |
| ATP molecules and calcium ions | requirements for muscle contraction |
| SLIDING FILAMENT MODEL | describes/explains muscle contraction |
| SLOW TWITCH MUSCLE | contract more slowly and can work for long periods of time without running out of energy |
| FAST TWITCH MUSCLE | stronger, but they tire out faster |
| ELASTICITY | ability to return a muscle to its original shape and size before a force was applied |
| CONTRACTILITY | The ability or property of muscle, of shortening, or becoming reduced in size, or developing increased tension |
| GROSS MOTOR | abilities required to control the muscles of the body for large movements such as crawling, walking, jumping, and running |
| FINE MOTOR | involve the small muscles of the body that enable such functions as writing, grasping small objects or toys, and fastening clothing |
