Muscle Insertion

Muscle insertion is the attachment site where a muscle, usually through a tendon or aponeurosis, connects to a bone or other structure and helps determine how force produces movement. During skeletal muscle contraction, the muscle shortens and pulls its insertion toward its origin, generating motion at one or more joints; the insertion may shift depending on body position and the movement being analyzed. Identifying muscle insertions is fundamental to anatomy and biomechanics because it clarifies muscle actions, joint mechanics, and coordinated movement. This knowledge also supports the study of musculoskeletal injuries, physical rehabilitation, surgical planning, and comparative anatomy.

We present a novel surgical procedure to implant electrodes in Manduca sexta during its early metamorphic stages. This technique allows mechanically stable and electrically reliable coupling with the neuromuscular tissue to study flight neurophysiology dynamics. We also present a novel magnetic levitation platform for tethered studies of insect yaw.

2023

Source: Madeline Lassche, MSNEd, RN and Katie Baraki, MSN, RN, College of Nursing, University of Utah, UT The purpose of peripheral intravenous catheter (PIV) insertion is to infuse medications, perform intravenous (IV) fluid therapy, or inject radioactive tracers for special examination procedures. Placing a PIV is an invasive procedure and requires the use of an aseptic, no-touch technique. Common IV venipuncture sites are the arms and hands in adults and the feet in children. According to...

We describe a method to directly measure muscle force, muscle power, contractile kinetics and fatigability of isolated skeletal muscles in an in vitro system using field stimulation. Valuable information on Ca2+ handling properties and contractile machinery of the muscle can be obtained using different stimulating protocols.
