Skeletal Muscles: Functional Groups Prime movers Provide the major force for producing a specific movement Antagonists Oppose or reverse a particular movement

Skeletal Muscles: Functional Groups Synergists Add force to a movement Reduce undesirable or unnecessary movement Fixators Synergists that immobilize a bone or muscle’s origin

FALSE – They are called FIXATORS TRUE OR FALSE Muscles that help to maintain posture are often called synergists. FALSE – They are called FIXATORS

QUESTION A muscle that provides the major force for producing a specific movement is called ________.  a synergist  an agonist  an antagonist  a fixator

QUESTION A muscle group that works with and assists the action of a prime mover is a(n) ________. antagonist   fixator  synergist  protagonist

Naming Skeletal Muscles How are the skeletal muscles named? L S D # of A

Naming Skeletal Muscles How are the skeletal muscles named? Location Shape Size Direction of fibers Number of origins Attachments Action

Naming Skeletal Muscles Location—bone or body region associated with the muscle Shape—e.g., deltoid muscle (deltoid = triangle) Relative size—e.g., maximus (largest), minimus (smallest), longus (long) Direction of fibers or fascicles—e.g., rectus (fibers run straight), transversus, and oblique (fibers run at angles to an imaginary defined axis)

Naming Skeletal Muscles Number of origins—e.g., biceps (2 origins) and triceps (3 origins) Location of attachments—named according to point of origin or insertion Action—e.g., flexor or extensor, muscles that flex or extend, respectively

What primarily determines the power of a muscle? QUESTION What primarily determines the power of a muscle?  the length  the shape  the number of neurons innervating it  the total number of muscle cells available for contraction

10 Arrangements

TRUE OR FALSE Although all skeletal muscles have different shapes, the fascicle arrangement of each muscle is exactly the same. FALSE – Of course not!

Muscle Mechanics: Arrangement of Fascicles Circular Fascicles arranged in concentric rings (e.g., orbicularis oris) Convergent Fascicles converge toward a single tendon insertion (e.g., pectoralis major)

Orbicularis oris ________. QUESTION Orbicularis oris ________.  closes, purses, and protrudes the lips  pulls the lower lip down and back  draws the eyebrows together  allows blinking, squinting, and various other protective mechanisms for the eye

Muscle Mechanics: Arrangement of Fascicles Parallel Fascicles parallel to the long axis of a straplike muscle (e.g., sartorius) Fusiform Spindle-shaped muscles with parallel fibers (e.g., biceps brachii)

Muscle Mechanics: Arrangement of Fascicles Pennate Short fascicles attach obliquely to a central tendon running the length of the muscle (e.g., rectus femoris)

TRUE OR FALSE The arrangement of a muscle's fascicles determines its range of motion and power. TRUE!

TRUE OR FALSE Muscle power does not depend on the direction of the fascicles. TRUE!

With regard to muscle fiber arrangement in a pennate muscle ________. QUESTION With regard to muscle fiber arrangement in a pennate muscle ________.  the fascicles are short and attach obliquely to a central tendon that runs the length of a  muscle  the fascicular pattern is circular  the fascicles form a triangle  the fascicles are in a fusiform arrangement

QUESTION The muscles that are found at openings of the body are collectively called ________. convergent muscles circular muscles parallel muscles  divergent muscles

(a) (g) (b) (f) Circular (orbicularis oris) (b) Convergent (pectoralis major) (c) (e) (c) Parallel (sartorius) (d) Unipennate (extensor digitorum longus) (d) (e) Bipennate (rectus femoris) (f) Fusiform (biceps brachii) (g) Multipennate (deltoid) Figure 10.1

Major Skeletal Muscles of the Body Grouped by function and location Information for each muscle Name and description—note information in the name Origin and insertion—there is usually a joint between the origin and the insertion Action—insertion moves toward origin; best learned by acting out muscle movement on one’s own body Innervation—name of major nerve that supplies the muscle

When the term biceps, triceps, or quadriceps forms part of a muscle's name, you can assume that  ________.  the muscle has two, three, or four origins, respectively  the muscle is able to change direction twice, three times, or four times faster than other  muscles, respectively  the muscle has two, three, or four functions, respectively  the muscle has two, three, or four insertions, respectively

QUESTION The names of muscles often indicate the action of the muscle. When the term levator is part of the descriptive term for a muscleʹs action, this means that ________.  the muscle flexes and rotates a region  the muscle is a fixator and stabilizes a bone or joint the muscle elevates and/or adducts a region  the muscle functions as a synergist

The suprahyoid muscles ________. QUESTION The suprahyoid muscles ________.  depress the larynx and hyoid bone if the mandible is fixed  are a group of muscles that lie superior to the hyoid bone and help form the floor of the  oral cavity  Move the pharynx superiorly during swallowing are often called strap muscles
