What is shunt muscle?

A skeletal muscle with its proximal attachments near the joint or joints at which it acts, and its distal attachments at some distance from the joints, so that the greater part of its force is directed along the bones, tending to pull joint surfaces together. This makes shunt muscles good stabilizers.

What are examples of muscle with three attachments?

What is origin of a muscle?

Movement happens at joints, with one bone of the joint moving freely while the other remains relatively stationary.Muscles are power engines for movement; they attach to bone on either end, crossing the joint as they do.The part of the muscle located between 2 ends is known as the belly of the muscle.All of this is significant because the size, direction and shape of the muscle and muscle attachments are part of what determines the range of motion of the joint, and therefore flexibility.


Why are there more indirect muscle attachments than direct attachments?

Indirect attachments are more common because of their durability and small size.


Five golden rules of gross skeletal muscle activity?

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.


What are single joint muscles?

Single joint muscles are muscles that cross and act on only one joint. They are primarily responsible for producing movement at that specific joint, such as the biceps muscle that crosses the elbow joint to bend the forearm.


What is the muscle that causes parts of the body to bend?

A flexor is a muscle that causes a joint to bend. In contrast, an extension is a muscle that straightens a joint.


What affect joint stability?

Does a flexor muscle open a joint?
