Appendicular Muscles
2
WHERE are the appendicular muscles?
Pectoral girdle Upper limbs Pelvic girdle Lower limbs
3
Pectoral girdle muscles
4
Pectoral girdle – anterior muscles
Subclavius Serratus anterior Pectoralis minor
6
Pectoral girdle – posterior muscles
Trapezius Rhomboid major / rhomboid minor Levator scapulae
8
,Splenius Cervicis ,Levator Scapulae ,Masseter Scalene ,Digastric Sternocleidomastoid Trapezius
9
UPPER LIMB MUSCLES
10
ARM MUSCLES – aNTERIOR Coracobrachialis
Adducts and flexes the shoulder Pectoralis major Largest chest muscle Flexes, adducts, and medially rotates the arm Deltoid Major abductor of the humerus Subscapularis Medially rotates the shoulder
11
STERNOCLEIDOMASTOID Subclavius CLAVICLE Subscapularis Deltoid Pectoralis minor Pectoralis major Coracobrachialis STERNUM Serratus Anterior Biceps brachii HUMERUS
12
ARM MUSCLES – POSTERIOR/lateral
Latissimus Dorsi Large muscle wrapping the lower back Extends, adducts, and medially rotates the arm Supraspinatus Abducts the shoulder Infraspinatus Laterally rotates the humerus Teres Major/ Minor Extend, adduct, medially rotate the humerus
13
Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Supraspinatus Deltoid Teres Major Teres Minor Latissiumus Dorsi
14
Forearm muscles FLEXORS OF THE ELBOW PRONATION SYNERGISTS SUPINATOR
Biceps Brachii Brachialis Brachioradialis PRONATION SYNERGISTS Pronator Teres Pronator Quadrus SUPINATOR ** DON’T NEED TO KNOW WHERE IT IS Deep to the brachioradialis muscle POSTERIOR MUSCLES TRICEPS BRACHII Anconeus
15
Brachailis Pronator Teres Brachioradialis Pronator Quadrus
16
Wrist / hand muscle EXTRINISIC – FOREAEM : FLEX/EXTEND WRIST & FINGERS
FLEXORS – ORIGINATE ON MEDIAL EPICONDYLE OF HUMERUS EXTENSORS: ORIGINATE ON LATERAL EPICONDYLE OF HUMERUS INTRINSIC – HAND : FINE FINGER / THUMB MOVEMENTS
17
FLEXOR MUSCLES – ANTERIOR SIDE
Flexor Retinaculum Flexor carpi radialis Palmaris longus Flexor carpi ulnaris Flexor digitorum superficialis Brachialiss Pronator Teress Brachioradialiss Flexor Carpi Radialis s Palmaris Longuss Flexor Carpi Ulnaris s Pronators Quadrus s Flexor Retinaculums
18
Extensor muscles – posterior side
Anconeus Extensor Retinaculum Extensor Carpi Radialis Longus Extensor Carpis Radialis Brevis Extensor Digitorum Extensor Carpi Ulnaris
19
HAND MUSCLES Eminences – masses of tissue at the base of the thumb & medial margin of hand Thenar – Acts of the thumb! Flexor Pollicis Brevis Abductor Pollicis Brevis Opponens Pollicis Adductor pollicis – opposes the opponens pollicis Hypothenar Eminence – Acts of the pinky! Opponens Digiti Minimi Flexor Digiti Minimi Abductor Digiti Minimi
21
Muscles of the thigh Articulations between the axial skeleton and pelvic girdles limit movement of the hips Muscles insert on the femur and cause movement at the ball-and- socket joint Four main groups: gluteal, lateral rotator, adductor, iliopsoas
22
Gluteal group Posterior muscles Origin: pelvic ileum Glueteus Maximus
Gluteus Medius Gluteus Minimus - Gluteus medius and minimus abduct and medially rotate the thigh
23
Lateral Rotator Group Rotate the thigh laterally Obturator Internus
Obturator Externus Piriformis Quadratus Femoris Superior Gemellus Inferior Gemellus - Piriformis abducts the thight
24
Gluteus Medius Gluteus Minimus Pirifomis Gluteus Maximus
Obturator Internus Obturator Externus Inferior Gemellus Inferior / Superior gemellus are small rotatoers that originate on the ischial spine and insert on greater trochanter Quadratus Femoris
25
Iliopsoas GROUP Muscles work together (synergists) to flex the thigh
Psoas Major Iliacus
26
Adductor GROUP Adductor group Pectineus Gracilis Adductor Magnus
Adductor Longus Adductor Brevis Pectineus Gracilis Gracilis is the most superficial of the thigh adductors Because it passes over the hip and knee joints, it acts to adduct the medially rotate the thigh and flex the knee
28
MUSCLES THAT MOVE THE LEG
Act on the knee joint (some also on hip) Flexors: posterior side Extensors: Anterior side
29
Flexors of the leg – posterior side
Collectively called the “hamstrings” Common origin on the ischial tuberosity Because they cross the hip and knee joint, they also extend the thigh Biceps Femoris Semitendinosus Semimembranosus
31
EXTENSORS OF THE LEG – ANTERIOR SIDE
Collectively called the “Quadriceps” or “quadriceps femoris” Converge on the paterllar tendon and insert on tibial tuberosity Rectus Femoris (largest muscle in the group) Vastus Medialis Vastus Lateralis Vastus Intermedius Saratorius (Longest muscle in the body) -Saratorius : flexor of the knee, and thigh, and lateral rotator of the thigh
32
Saratorius
33
MUSCLES OF THE foot & ankle
Acting on Ankle - originate on the leg and insert on tarsal bones Lateral Fibularis Longus – plantarflexor Fibularis Brevis - plantarflexor Anterior Tibilais Anterior – Dorsiflexor Posterior – plantar Flexors Gastrocenmius Soleus Tibialis Posterior (deep muscle)
34
Tibialis Anterior
35
Tibialis Anterior Fibularis Longus Fibularis Brevis
36
Tibialis Posterior Gastrocnemius Soleus Fibularis
37
Muscles of the foot & ankle
Act on the Toes Anterior - Extensors Extensor Hallucis Longus Extensor Digitorum Longus Posterior - Flexors Flexor Digitorum Longus Flexor Hallucis Longus
38
Tibialis Anterior Extensor Digitorum Longus Extensor Hallucis Longus
39
Tibialis Posterior Flexor Digitorum Longus Gastrocnemius Soleus Flexor Hallucis Longus Fibularis
40
Flexor Hallucis Brevis
