Card|ac musc|e muscles whlch are
lnvolunLary Lhe only cardlac muscle ls Lhe

Smooth musc|es muscles whlch are agaln
lnvolunLary and are found ln Lhe lnLesLlne and
dlgesLlve sysLem when your sLomach rumbles
lL's your lnLesLlnes chewlng up Lhe food and
preparlng lL Lo go Lhrough your gasLrolnLesLlnal

exerclses
Card|ac hearL whlch pumps blood all around Lhe body and keeps you allve
Smooth lnLesLlnes whlch baslcally chew up all Lhe food you eaL so LhaL's why
someLlmes when you hear your sLomach rumble lL means LhaL your lnLesLlnes are chewlng
g away and dlgesLlng Lhe food LhaL you have recenLly eaLen ma[orlLy of people Lhlnk lL

ll muscles work ln anLagonlsLlc palrs
anLagonlsLlc are Lhe muscles LhaL produce Lhe
acLlon of one muscle conLracLlng and
shorLenlng whllsL anoLher muscle produces
lengLh Lo make Lhe space and allow Lhe
movemenL
go|st musc|es are Lhe muscles LhaL are
responslble for creaLlng Lhe movemenL aL Lhe
[olnL also known as Lhe prlme mover
llxaLor muscles are Lhe muscles whlch sLablllse
Lhe orlgln of Lhe agonlsL muscles
Syerg|sts are muscles LhaL lncrease Lhe
efflclency of agonlsL and anLagonlsL alLhough
Lhey are noL acLually llnked Lo elLher of Lhem
tago|st used ln fooLball
when you shooL or pass a
fooLball your hamsLrlng
lengLhens and exLends
go|st ln fooLball when
klcklng a ball Lhe prlme
mover would be your
quadrlceps because LhaL's
where you geL power from
I|xator flxaLor muscle
would perhaps be your
gluLeus Maxlmus
Syerg|st would
maybe be your
abdomlnal muscles
because Lhey hold
everyLhlng LogeLher
I|xator muscles are Lhe muscles whlch sLablllse
Lhe orlgln of Lhe agonlsL muscles
ow muscles creaLe movemenL
Muscles are aLLached Lo Lhe bone and held
LogeLher by Lhlck sheaLhs called Lendons Lhey
are aLLached aL boLh ends of Lhe bone and Lhls
ls known as Lhe orlgln and lnserLlon
1he lnserLlon
ls where Lhe muscle ls aLLached Lo Lhe movlng
bone so where Lhe muscle ls baslcally lnserLed
hence lL belng an lnserLlon so durlng flexlon of
Lhe elbow Lhe blcep ls Lhe agonlsL and Lhe
radlus ls Lhe lnserLlon so when Lhe blcep pulls
on Lhe radlus muscle lL moves up
1he Crlgln
1hls ls Lhe opposlLe end of Lhe bone where lL
doesn'L move so lL does Lhe opposlLe Lo Lhe
lnserLlon Lhls ls [usL where Lhe bone ls held so
for Lhe blcep lL would be Lhe scapula
Cocetr|c cotract|o 1hls ls when Lhe muscle conLracLs Lhe
conLracLlng muscle ls commonly known as Lhe agonlsL for lnsLance
when Lhe blcep curls and flexes ln Lhe upwards phase
Lccetr|c cotract|o Muscle lengLhens and when Lhe muscle ls
conLracLlng lL acLs as a brake Lhls ls usually known as Lhe anLagonlsL
when Lhe blceps are ln Lhe downwards phase of a blcep curl
Isometr|c cotract|o ls when Lhe muscle Lenses alLhough Lhe shape
and slze of Lhe muscle remalns Lhe same Lhls happens mosL
commonly ln flxaLor muscles so when dolng Lhe blcep curl Lhe delLold
would be Lhe flxaLor
Cocetr|c musc|e could curl upwards when
dolng welghLs so when golng Lo llfL Lhe welghL
Lhe muscle LhaL conLracLs would be Lhe blcep
Lccetr|c musc|e would exLend ouLwards and
be known as exLenslon Lhls could happen Lo
your Lrlceps when dolng welghLs or dolng a
blcep curl
Isometr|c musc|e ln a welghLllfLlng
clrcumsLance would be your sLernum because
LhaL would be a flxaLor muscle so when llfLlng
or puLLlng own Lhen lL helps you keep your
balance
