Brachialis (Insertion) - Answer Tuberosity of ulna
Name the three types of muscle tissue found in the body: - Answer Cardiac, skeletal
and smooth
What does it mean that skeletal muscles are under conscious control? - Answer A
person can consciously decide to use these muscles to complete an action.
What is included in the central nervous system? - Answer Brain and spinal cord
Describe a motor action vs. sensory input in terms of the nervous system. - Answer
Messages from the central nervous system to a muscle are called a motor actions.
Nerves also carry information from the external environment to the central nervous
system, called sensation or sensory input.
True or false: The brachial plexus supplies nerves to the lower extremities. - Answer
False
Describe the difference between tendons and ligaments. - Answer Tendons are
connective tissues that connect skeletal muscle to bone at each end. Ligaments are
connective tissue that connects bone to bone, helping to stabilize joints where bones
meet.
Describe the origin and insertion of attachment to bones. - Answer The origin is the
bony site of attachment which is stationary during the movement. The insertion of a
muscle is the bony site of attachment that is moved by the muscle contraction.
Describe muscle action and innervation. - Answer The action of the muscle is what
effect is produced by the muscle's contraction. The innervation is the peripheral nerve
that supplies a muscle with the message from the brain.
