  2. Muscle contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_contraction

    In concentric contraction, muscle tension is sufficient to overcome the load, and the muscle shortens as it contracts. [8] This occurs when the force generated by the muscle exceeds the load opposing its contraction. During a concentric contraction, a muscle is stimulated to contract according to the sliding filament theory. This occurs ...

    Agonists cause a movement to occur through their own activation. [7] For example, the triceps brachii contracts, producing a shortening (concentric) contraction, during the up phase of a push-up (elbow extension).

  4. Reciprocal innervation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reciprocal_innervation

    A common example of reciprocal innervation, is the effect of the nociceptive (or nocifensive) reflex, or defensive response to pain, otherwise commonly known as the withdrawal reflex; a type of involuntary action of the body to remove the body part from the vicinity of an offending object by contracting the appropriate muscles (usually flexor ...

    The median/ulnar nerves move 7.3mm and 9.8mm during elbow flexion and extension at the elbow. The median nerve moves 9.6mm with wrist flexion and extension. [2] This nerve movement also applies to the spinal nerves, which can stretch and slacken with movement of the spine. [4] This nerve gliding happens at intraneurial and extraneurial tissue ...

  7. Neuromuscular junction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neuromuscular_junction

    When the motor nerve is stimulated there is a delay of only 0.5 to 0.8 msec between the arrival of the nerve impulse in the motor nerve terminals and the first response of the endplate [7] The arrival of the motor nerve action potential at the presynaptic neuron terminal opens voltage-dependent calcium channels, and Ca 2+ ions flow from the ...

  8. Brachialis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brachialis_muscle

    The brachialis (brachialis anticus) is a muscle in the upper arm that flexes the elbow. It lies beneath the biceps brachii, and makes up part of the floor of the region known as the cubital fossa (elbow pit). It originates from the anterior aspect of the distal humerus; [1] it inserts onto the tuberosity of the ulna.

  9. Isotonic contraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isotonic_contraction

    A near isotonic contraction is known as Auxotonic contraction. There are two types of isotonic contractions: (1) concentric and (2) eccentric. In a concentric contraction, the muscle tension rises to meet the resistance, then remains the same as the muscle shortens.
