MUSCLES FOR LECTURE
Muscle Types Smooth: spindle shaped Cardiac: cylindrical shaped no striations involuntary Cardiac: cylindrical shaped striated involuntary (only responds to direct electrical stimulation) Skeletal: elongated voluntary
MOTION TERMS FLEXION: reduces the angle of the joint from the anatomical position. Flex elbow EXTENSION: movement that returns you to anatomical position. Extend elbow. All these terms refer to either a body part or a joint. Can flex elbow or flex joint. HYPEREXTENSION: extension beyond anatomical position; wrist, neck. Some terms relate only to certain areas, such as the ankle: DORSIFLEXTION: lift up toes PLANTARFLEXION: move toes down INVERSION: when sole of foot points inward EVERSION: sole of foot points outward. ABDUCTION: move body part away from midline; arm, fingers, thumb ADDUCTION: bring back to midline; arms, fingers, thumb
MOTION TERMS ROTATION: pivot on an axis; shake head “no”; can rotate head and shoulder CIRCUMDUCTION: to draw a circle with body part; shoulder, head PRONATION (to lie prone is on stomach). Turn hands downward. SUPINATION: refers to arms; want a bowl of soup, supinate PROTRACTION: to move anteriorily; shoulders, mandible RETRACTION: to move part posteriorly; shoulders ELEVATION: to raise part superiorly; shoulders DEPRESSION: to lower part; open mouth.
Muscle Terms Prime mover Synergist (helps prime mover) Antagonist (does opposite of prime mover) Fixator (holds bone in place so prime mover can move a body part better)
SURFACE LANDMARKS THYROID CARTILAGE (Adam’s apple) JUGULAR NOTCH: ridge between two clavicles above manubrium COSTAL MARGIN: edge of ribcage UMBILICUS (NAVAL): belly button INGUINAL REGION: the crease between abdomen and thigh; ant sup iliac spine pubic symphusis GLUTEAL CLEFT (NATAL CLEFT): butt crack PERINEUM: between genitals and anus
Trapezius, Latissmus dorsi, Teres major and minor, Supraspinatus, Infraspinatus 1 4 5 3b 3a 2
Subscapularis, Coracobrachialis Seen on the anterior portion of the scapula 1 2
Pectoralis Major and Minor 2 1
Deltoid 1
Triceps brachii, Biceps brachii, Brachialis, Brachioradialis 1 2 3 4
Muscles that Define the Axilla Anterior: Pectoralis major Posterior: Latissimus dorsi and Teres major Base: Lymph nodes Axillary artery Brachial plexus
Rhomboids Trapezius Latissimus dorsi
Serratus anterior Rectus abdominus External oblique Internal oblique
Pronator teres, Flexor retinaculum 1 2
Flexor Retinaculum Not a muscle It is a band-like fibrous fascia over the wrist that covers the flexor tendons and keeps them from bow-stringing up. If there is inflammation from over-use (flexion), the swelling will pinch the median nerve and cause pain in the hand This is called Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Extensor carpi radialis (longus, brevis), Ext carpi ulnaris, Ext digitorum, Ext policis longus 1 3 2 4
Flex carpi ulnaris, Palmaris longus, Flex carpi radialis, Flex digitorum superficialis, Flex policis longus 3 2 1 5 4
Flexor digitorum profundus 1
Gluteus maximus, Gluteus medius 2 Gluteus maximus, Gluteus medius 1
Gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, piriformis 2 3 1
Gluteus Maximus When sitting and going to a standing position, this is the primary muscle responsible for straightening the hip
Hip Flexors When one foot is on the ground, these muscles contract to lift the opposite foot off the ground
Psoas major, Tensor fasciae latae, Sartorius 1 2 3
Quadriceps femoris: Rectus femoris, Vastus lateralis, Vastus medius, Vastus intermedius 1 2 3
Vastus lateralis, intermedius, and medius
Pectineus, Adductor longus, Adductor magnus, Gracilis 1 2 4 3
