Which muscle term means to move away from the midline?
Abduction/Adduction
Abduction/Adduction A movement of a body part away from the midline, either of the body as a whole or that of the hand or foot, is termed abduction (L., to carry away). A movement of the body part back toward the midline (i.e., to the anatomical position) is known as adduction.
Which of the following terms means abnormal muscle tone?
Hypertonia is a word that refers to abnormally increased tension of the muscle. Exactly the opposite of this is hypotonia, a condition characterized by abnormally diminished muscle tone.
Which term means delayed relaxation of a muscle after a strong contraction such as a leg cramp?
Definition. Myotonia is essentially failure of muscle relaxation following contraction, leading to clinical spasm and specific patterns of prolonged electrophysiological activity.
Which term refers to moving the body part inward?
Medial rotation: This movement is turning a body part around its long axis, with the anterior surface moving toward the midline, like when you turn your whole lower extremity so that your foot points inward. Pronation: Pronation is medial rotation of the forearm so that the palm faces posteriorly (toward the rear).
What is the straightening of a body part?
Adduction – moving a body part toward the midline. Flexion – bending a body part. Elbow Flexion. Extension – straightening a body part.
What is sphincter muscle?
Listen to pronunciation. (SFINK-ter) A ring-shaped muscle that relaxes or tightens to open or close a passage or opening in the body. Examples are the anal sphincter (around the opening of the anus) and the pyloric sphincter (at the lower opening of the stomach).
What does oblique mean in anatomy?
(ō-blēk′, ə-blēk′) adj. Anatomy Situated in a slanting position; not transverse or longitudinal: oblique muscles or ligaments.
Which type of muscle is found in hollow structures?
Smooth muscle
Smooth muscle is found in the wall of hollow organs, passageways, tracts, eye and skin. Fibers of smooth muscle group in branching bundles, which allows for cells to contract much stronger than those of striated musculature.
What term means the rupture or tearing of a muscle?
Which term describes the rupture or tearing of a muscle? myorrhexis. You just studied 70 terms!
What type of muscle is found in hollow organs?
Smooth muscle fibers are located in walls of hollow visceral organs (such as the liver, pancreas, and intestines), except the heart, appear spindle-shaped, and are also under involuntary control. Skeletal muscle fibers occur in muscles which are attached to the skeleton.
What is the term for rupture of a muscle?
A muscle strain is an injury to a muscle or a tendon — the fibrous tissue that connects muscles to bones. Minor injuries may only overstretch a muscle or tendon, while more severe injuries may involve partial or complete tears in these tissues.
