What muscle does not cause movement at the knee joint?
soleus
What type of joint movement occurs when a muscle moves a limb toward the mid line of the body?
Abduction is when a body part moves away from the midline.
What is the type of muscle contraction that produces movement in a joint and allows the muscle to shorten?
By tensing.
What does Hilton's law state?
Any nerve serving a muscle that produces a movement at a joint does innervate the joint and the skin over the joint.
Does synovial fluid become more thicker with as movement at the joint increase?
No, the fluid becomes thinner as movement increases enabling it to thoroughly lubricate the joint while movement occurs.
What are the three types of muscles and what is the movement for each muscle?
This can be answered on several different levels, but let me take the simpliest.Major types of muscles:Skeletal - associated with bones - see more info below.Cardiac - muscle of the heart specializing in electrical communicationViseral or Smooth - lines all tubes and has the movement called peristalsisSkeletal Muscle movement associated with diarthritic joints: Hinge Joint - movement is extension or flexionCondyloid Joint - movement is pronation or supinationBall & Socket Joint - abduction & adduction are the first of many movements.Pivot Joint - movement is rotationAnd the list goes on. . . .
What causes a joint to move?
Joints don't have the ability to move. Joints are where two or more bones meet. One end of muscle attaches to the bone and the other end of the muscle stretches cross the joint and attaches to the bone on the other side of the joint. Muscles work in pairs, so that when one muscle contracts (the only movement that muscle can make), the other of the pair relaxes which causes movement at the joint when the bone is pulled by the muscle.
What does hypertrophic osteoarthritic mean?
Commonly known simply as osteoarthritis (OA) which is a degenerative joint disease (DJD) where joint cartilage wears away causing pain, swelling, limited movement and muscle weakness around the afflicted joint.
What type of movement does a hinge joint make?
The movement permitted by a hinge joint is extension (opening) or flexion (closing). The elbow is a hinge joint. When you "flex your muscle", you preform a flexion movement (closing). The opposite is extension as in handing a cup to someone..
What happens to your muscles when your joint is bent?
When a joint is bent, the muscles around that joint contract and shorten. This causes the joint to move, resulting in the bending or flexing of the joint. The specific muscles involved and the degree of contraction depend on the joint and the movement being performed.
What are synergist muscle?
A synergist muscle is a muscle that aids another by promoting the same movement.
