Starting with your head on your chest, raise your head to look straight ahead.
Cross your arms in front of your chest.
Sitting with your arms at your side and shoulders facing the table, reach for your textbook on the table.
Placing your arm out straight, alternate the “thumbs up, thumbs down” position.

7. Types of Muscles
Prime mover – muscle with the major responsibility for a certain movement
Antagonist – muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover
Synergist – muscle that aids a prime mover in a movement and helps prevent rotation
Fixator – stabilizes the origin of a prime mover

8. Naming of Skeletal Muscles
Direction of muscle fibers
Example: rectus (straight)
Relative size of the muscle
Example: maximus (largest)

9. Naming of Skeletal Muscles
Location of the muscle
Example: many muscles are named for bones (e.g., temporalis)
Number of origins
Example: triceps (three heads)

10. Naming of Skeletal Muscles
Location of the muscle’s origin and insertion
Example: sterno (on the sternum)
Shape of the muscle
Example: deltoid (triangular)
Action of the muscle
Example: flexor and extensor (flexes or extends a bone)
