The Origin
The belly
the insertion moves toward the origin
Changes in length and moves the "load"
Pulling and contracting is how a muscle moves the bones ....
your muscles moves, moving ligaments and tendons
Peristalsis
Smooth muscle is responsible for the contraction that moves limbs.
It takes food from the throat and pushes it down through the neck, and into the stomach. It moves food by waves of muscle contraction called peristalsis.
1. All muscles cross at least one joint. 2. Typically, the bulk of muscle lies proximal to the joint crossed. 3. During contraction, the muscle insertion moves toward the origin. 4. All muscles have at least two attachments (origin and insertion). 5. Muscles always pull, they never push.
Where a muscle attaches to a bone is at the origin and insertion points. The origin is the immovable (or slightly moveable) attachment point and the the insertion is the movable attachment point. During contraction the insertion moves towards the origin. HOW a muscle attaches to a bone is through tendons.
they dont u retard
One of the main things that will inhibit muscle contraction is the build up of lactic acid during aerobic exercise. Lactic acid will inhibit the bodys ability to break ATP down into ADP and therefore restrict the amount of useable energy available to the muscle.
