What are the specific locations of the abdominal muscle attachments within the human body?
The abdominal muscles attach to the rib cage, pelvis, and the linea alba, which is a band of connective tissue in the midline of the abdomen.
Describe the attachments of the diaphragm?
The diaphragm has peripheral attachments to structures making up the abdominal and chest walls. These attachments have muscle fibers that converge in the central tendon, forming the crest of the dome.
An increase in the concentration of ATP in a muscle cell is a direct result of which life function?
An increase in the concentration of ATP in a muscle cell is a direct result of cellular respiration, which is the life function responsible for generating ATP through the breakdown of glucose or other nutrients in the presence of oxygen.
What is the tronchanter of the femur?
The trochanter of the femur is a bony prominence located on the upper part of the thigh bone. There are two trochanters: the greater trochanter, which is located laterally and serves as a site for muscle attachment, and the lesser trochanter, which is located medially and is involved in hip flexion.
What are the proximal and distal attachments for the Anconeus?
The proximal attachment of the anconeus muscle is the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, while the distal attachment is the olecranon process of the ulna. The anconeus muscle plays a role in assisting the triceps brachii muscle in extending the forearm at the elbow joint.
Why are there more indirect muscle attachments than direct attachments?
Indirect attachments are more common because of their durability and small size.
Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous- muscle attachments that direct muscle attachments?
The deltoid muscle attaches to the anterior and lateral acromion primarily by direct tendinous attachment. The muscle attaches to the dorsal side of the acromion by periosteal fiber attachment.
Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous-muscles attachments to bone then there are direct attachments?
Tendons are very versitile. They are made of collagenous tissue which is highly resistant to extension and also relatively flexible. The main attachment sites of skeletal muscles are tendons. Tendons are the main attachment type for skeletal muscle to bone or cartilage. Tendons are by far the most important tissue for attachment and are present wherever the point of insertion is distant or the muscle must exert its forces of contraction across a joint.
What muscle pulls the tendinous cords?
The papillary muscles pull on the tendinous cords
The tendinous intersections are found in what muscle?
rectus abdominis
What is trauma to a muscle or the muscle-tendinous units from violent contraction or excessive forcible stretch?
a muscle strain
What bone has no muscle attachments?
the Talus
What are examples of muscle with three attachments?
The triceps brachii is a muscle with three attachments.
A tendinous seam running from the sternum to the pubis symphysis that indicates the mid line point of fusion of the abdominal muscle sheaths?
The tendinous seam running from the sternum to the pubic symphysis is called the linea alba.
Which muscle provides rippled abs?
The rectus abdominus is the main muscle the provides rippled abs. This muscle together with linea alba or also called as white line and the tendinous intersections builds up the core of our abs.
What is the difference between an aponeurosis and a tendon?
They are basically the same thing......connecting muscles to bones but tendons are cord-like and aponeurosis is sheetlike.Describe the difference between a tendon and an aponeurosis
What is differwnce between strain and sprain?
A sprain refers to the overstretching of ligaments. A strain reders to the overstretching of muscles.
