Chapter 9, Problem 4TYC
Summary Introduction
Summary:
Suppose a person abducts the arm by holding a weight. The abduction happens because the deltoid muscle inserts into the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus (shoulder bone). A laboratory skeleton is chosen to identify the fulcrum, measure the effort and resistance arms, determine the mechanical advantage of abduction, and also to determine which type of lever the upper limb belongs when performing abduction.

Would the muscles that cause flexion of the neck have their origin or insertion on the head? Explain your reasoning using an example.
can you help me answer that? thank you...
The _____ and _____ are hip flexors that originate on the pelvis and lumbar vertebrae and converge on a shared tendon that ends on the lesser trochanter of the femur.
when a person is in respiratory distress the origin and insertion of the serratus anterior muscle may actually switch and the part of the muscle attached to the medial border of the scapula acts as the origin, how will the change the muscle 's action?

- When a person dies, the body often experiences rigor mortis. In this condition, it is as if the muscles have become inflexible and it is very difficult to manipulate gather joints. Why does this occur?arrow_forwardConsider only the effect of the brachioradialis muscle for these questions: If a weight is held in the hand and the forearm is flexed, whattype of lever system is in action? If the weight is placed on the forearm? Which system can lift more weight, and how far?arrow_forwardAn isometric exercise is one in which the joint angle does not change during the application of muscle force. For instance, you can join your hands together, pushing down with one hand and pushing up with the other. In each arm, the muscles that provide the force are connected to the bones of the arm by tendons. If you increase the forces but keep the angles the same, the muscles will still contract. Explain how this is possible.arrow_forward
- Determine the muscles involved in common movements Lists the joints used Discuss the physiology of the movement Movements: Jumping (search spring actuated models) Frog Muscles involved: quadriceps, hamstrings, and glutes Joints: hip joint, knee joint, and ankle joint Physiology of the movement: The moment when the frog jumps, such as a catapult or archer’s bow, the tendons which wrap around the ankle release energy, which causes a rapid extension of the ankle that drives the frog forward.

- During 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_forwardUsing approximately 400-500 words, choose a sports skill you wish to analyze (note this will be the same sports skill used in a future Unit). Some examples include a free throw shot, softball pitch, soccer kick, baseball swing, etc. Discuss what movements occur at the ankle, knee, hip, spine, shoulder, elbow, and wrist. Compare the movements bilaterally, or both sides. In which planes do these movements occur? What axis of rotation occurs at each joint? Include at least two scholarly references (using APA formatting and style) to guide your answers.arrow_forwardWhich of the following is a prime mover in headflexion?a. occipitofrontalisb. corrugator superciliic. sternocleidomastoidd. masseterarrow_forward

The patella glides along a groove on the anteriorside of the distal femur. The collateral ligaments on thesides of the knee become tight in the fully extendedposition to help stabilize the knee. The posterior cruciateligament supports the knee when flexed and the anteriorcruciate ligament becomes tight when the knee comes intofull extension to resist hyperextension. What are theligaments that support the knee joint?arrow_forwardWhy do you suppose there are more and larger muscles involved in plantar flexion of the foot than dorsiflexion?arrow_forward
