Chapter 7, Problem 6RQ

Myoclonus is the sudden, involuntary jerking of a muscle or group of muscles. _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________

A stiff neck due to spasmodic contraction of the neck muscles that pull the head toward the affected side is known as _________, or wryneck.

Polymyositis is a muscle disease characterized by the simultaneous inflammation and weakening of voluntary muscles in many parts of the body. _______________ _______________ _______________ _______________

what  muscle or muscles may be strained if a patient complains of pain of the following locations: Medial thigh anterior arm posterior neck lateral abdomen  posterolateral leg lateral lumbar region of the back

You would use this muscle to help you cross your legs. (Hint: sitting on the floor in a yoga posture—the lostus position—involves this muscle, too).This muscle group acts primarily on the knee; involved with extension at the knee.This muscle would help abduct the thigh (move the thigh away from the midline of the body).

Describe a physical movement such as sitting, throwing, kicking, stepping up, lifting a coffee cup, etc. Describe the specific muscles involved in this movement using the correct anatomical names. State the type of movement (flexion, extension, and rotation for example) for each muscle that you identify as involved in the movement.

Muscles of facial expression are ________. Multiple Choice   smooth muscles   skeletal muscles   involuntary muscles   cardiac muscles

Describe each muscle needed to contract for specific movement and each muscles action during that action. Each muscle firing is it's own step. Something simple like kicking a ball is one action with multiple muscles firing it that action. You need at least 5 muscles involved in your action Example: Description: Picking up a glass of water. Muscles: Biceps, brachialis. Step 1: The brachialis has an origin at the humerus and inserts at the ulna. Contracting is a flexion action. Example: The [Muscle] has an origin at the [Bone] and inserts at the [Bone]. Contracting is a [Action] action

A muscle that works with another to produce the same or similar movement is called a/an ___________.
