Textbook Question
Chapter 9, Problem 1CCS
Let’s continue our tale of Mrs. DeStephano’s medical problems, this time looking at the notes made detailing Mrs. DeStephano, a 45-year-old woman badly injured in a traffic accident, has been admitted to the hospital. Several of the notes in her chart detail observations of her skeletal musculature.
Severe lacerations of the muscles of the right leg and knee
Damage to the blood vessels serving the right leg and knee
Transection of the sciatic nerve (the large nerve serving most of the lower limb), just above the right knee
Her physician orders daily passive range-of-motion (ROM) exercise and electrical stimulation for her right leg and a diet high in protein, carbohydrates, and vitamin C.
Describe the step-by-step process of wound healing that will occur in her fleshy (muscle) wounds, and note the consequences of the specific restorative process that occurs.

Your anatomy and physiology course is required for a career in forensics, and one of the short essays is an explanation of why the body becomes stiff after death. Provide an answer for an individual who has some understanding of skeletal muscle physiology.
The mighty Zimbo claims to have leg muscles so strong that he can stand flat on his feet and lean forward to pick up an apple on the floor with his teeth. Should you pay to see him perform, or do you have any suspicions about his claim? Why?

- In a general sense, how do skeletal muscles produce movement?arrow_forwardthe muscle that is "mainly" responsible for a movement is called the? the muscle that acts in opposition of the movement is called the? what two terms describe a body temp either above or below normal? the muscular function of maintaining posture is possible due to what type of contraction?arrow_forwardYour patient, Ms. Young, presents to physical therapy for evaluation and treatment of painful muscle spasms (sustained muscle contractions) in the muscles of her right shoulder. You notice upon evaluation that Ms. Young has decreased strength in her right shoulder compared with her left shoulder, which has no muscle spasms. Explain this finding. (Hint: Is a muscle in the spasm at its natural length?arrow_forward
- Skeletal muscles can only produce a mechanical force as they are contracted, but a leg flexes and extends while walking. How can muscles perform this task?arrow_forwardThirty minutes after Mary has completed a 25-km race, she begins to notice severe muscle soreness and stiffness in her legs. Her urine is dark colored. She wonders whether she may have damaged her muscles during the race. She visits the ER, and the doctor orders several blood tests. What kind of blood tests can help determine whether muscle damage has occurred?arrow_forwardTrue or False A function of the muscular system is to provide the body with heat.arrow_forward
- A human embryo develops with a mutation that prevents smooth muscle from developing in the body. Which bodily functions will be most affected by this mutation if it survives to birth?arrow_forwardAll of the following characteristics apply to skeletal muscle except a. They are striated. b. They are multinucleated. c. They are voluntary. d. They contain intercalated discs. e. They are attached to the skeleton by means of tendons.arrow_forwardThe names of the muscles can indicate all of the following, EXCEPT ___________. a.myofibril numbers of the muscle b.the direction of the muscle relative to the long axis of the body c.action of the muscle d.the region of the body where the muscle is located 2. An exocrine gland that loses small parts of its cell bodies during secretion, as is the case for the mammary gland, is further classified as a ____________ gland. a.Endocrine b.Merocrine c.Holocrine d.Apocrinearrow_forward
- A new experimental drug is tested in muscle fibers and it is concluded that it blocks the calcium channels in the sarcoplasmic reticulum. Which of the following are expected consequences of the injection of this drug in skeletal muscles?arrow_forwardDuring a Physical Education class, you ask your students to perform a standing vertical jump. Identify the type of muscle contraction involved in the jump and describe the movement patterns of the concentric and eccentric phases. Outline the agonists, antagonists and synergist muscles, which contribute to maximum jump height. Identify the major lower body joints and joint movements, which contribute to the concentric phase of the jump.arrow_forwardFollowing an injury to a nerve, the muscle it supplies with motor nerve fibers may become paralyzed. How would you explain to a patient the importance of moving the disabled muscles passively or contracting them using electrical stimulation?arrow_forward
