Agonist: A muscle that creates a desired movement of a bone or body part. Antagonist: A muscle that opposes the action of the agonist. Synergist: A muscle that aids the action of a prime mover (agonist) by effecting the same movement or by stabilizing joints.

    A).Which clue would tell Stefan which scapular surface was anterior and which was posterior? What is the name of the shallow, oval socket of the scapular that Stefan placed next to the humerus? When he pulled out the two bundles, each containing a narrow S-shaped bone. Turning them over in his hands, he quickly decided which was right and which left, then placed each clavicle by its neighboring scapula. In order to determine if a scapula is right or left, orient it so the glenoid fossa (articulating surface) faces laterally (outward) and the spine is posterior (toward back) and superior (upper). The coracoid process should be superior and anterior. Glenoid cavity is what he place next to the humerus.…

    Scapular dyskinesis is an anatomical dysfunction of the scapula, or more commonly known as the shoulder blade. The scapula is a bone that connects the humerus and the clavicle to the axial skeleton with its muscle attachments and provides stabilization to the arm. The scapula is a triangle bone; relatively flat in shape that forms the shoulder girdle. The scapula has multiple surfaces where muscles originate and attach. These surfaces are the subscapular fossa (costal side), infraspinatus fossa, and supraspinatus fossa (both dorsal side). There is also the scapular spine, glenoid fossa, acromion, and the superior, medial, and lateral borders. The glenoid…

    Muscle contractions happen when muscle fibers are stimulated, which can cause one of many types of contractions. Isometric contractions, which means that tension happens in the muscle but there is no change in muscle length, therefore there is no movement of the muscle itself. An example of Isometric contractions would be strength training, such as holding a weight still, which happens in the biceps brachii. The biceps brachii the gets more tension, but the muscle length stays the same. As for isotonic contractions, which means that tension is in the muscle while there is a change of length, can be split into two types: Concentric contraction, in which the tension causes the muscle to shorten, and eccentric, in which the tension causes the muscle to elongate.…

    Muscle Contractions

    Contractions, put simply, are the basic action of any muscle. A contraction is a change in a muscle by which it becomes thickened and shortened after the brain sends signals to nerve cells telling them do contract a specific muscle or muscles. Surprisingly, a contraction is a complex human action and reaction, yet it is such a breeze to understand the basic meaning of the word. Throughout this essay I will give you extensive details about the process of muscle contractions and the parts of the human anatomy that make the whole thing possible. You’d be surprised about all of the work that goes into a process that takes milliseconds to conceive the end result, a muscle contraction.…

    When a muscle contracts it creates movement which is called an isotonic contraction. An isotonic contraction can normally concentric where the muscle shortens as the fibres contract. Muscle fibres use ATP for contraction but only for a few seconds, as when the fibres contract the muscle lengthens leaving the muscle to contract with no follow-on movement.…
