a. Define
Insertion
The point of attachment in a muscle where more movement occurs is referred to as the insertion. The other
point of attachment is the origin, which is usually more of an anchoring point than a movement point.

Prime mover
The muscle that is responsible for the action's fundamental force. An antagonist muscle works in opposition
to a prime mover, providing resistance and/or reversing a certain movement.

Antagonists
Characterize a muscle, especially one that operates in opposition to the primary muscle. The muscle that
operates in the opposite direction from the primary muscle, also known as the agonist muscle, when it is doing
anything.

Motor Unit
A single motor nerve and the corresponding muscle fibers that are innervated by the nerve comprise the
functional unit of muscular contraction. The term "motor pool" refers to a collection of motor units.

Muscle Tone
Muscle tone is typically defined as "tension in a relaxed muscle or resistance felt by the examiner during
passive stretching of a joint with the muscles at rest.
Muscle Fatigue
Muscle fatigue is a term that describes the gradual decrease in muscle force generated over time. Muscle
weariness is caused by a number of reasons, the most prominent of which is lactic acid build up.
Sliding filament theory
The mechanism that allows muscles to contract is described by the sliding filament theory. Myosin which is a
motor protein that binds to actin, according to this idea. The myosin then changes its conformation, causing
the actin filament to be pulled and slide over the myosin filament.
Neuromuscular Junction (NMJ)

Scanned with CamScanner

 A highly specialized synapse between a motor neuron nerve terminal and its muscle fiber that converts
electrical impulses from the motor neuron into electrical activity in the muscle fibers.
b. What re the muscle for:
1. Facial expression
Include the orbicularis oculi, nasalis, levator labii superioris alaeque nasi, depressor labii inferioris, procerus,
auriculars, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, buccinator, occipitofrontalis, corrugator supercilii,
risorius, depressor anguli oris, orbicularis oris, and mentalis.
2. Mastication
Masseter. Temporalis. Lateral pterygoid.
3. Eyeball movement
The superior and inferior rectus muscle
4. Pectoral girdle movement
Subclavius, pectoralis minor, and serratus anterior.
5. Femur movement
Rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus intermedius.
6. Head movement
The neck muscles, including the sternocleidomastoid and the trapezius.

c. What muscles are usually the sites for injections? There are four possible site for injection: the arm
(deltoid); the thigh (vastus lateralis); the upper outer posterior buttock (gluteus maximus), commonly
known as the dorsogluteal site; and the lateral hip (gluteus medius). Vaccines are most commonly
administered through the deltoid muscle. For adults and children over the age of seven months, the
ventrogluteal muscle is the most secure location.
What are the advantage of intramuscular injection as route for medication? The benefits of
intramuscular injections are as follows: The muscles have a sufficient supply of blood, which helps
guarantee that the drug is absorbed swiftly by the body. This includes rapid absorption in many
circumstances, frequently in less than 30 minutes. Other benefits of the im route include the ability to
inject a reasonably big amount of fluid and a decrease in pain and local irritation when compared to sc
injections.
