Muscle Names - Size Vastus — means huge (vast) Maximus – means large (maximum) Minimus – means small (minimum Can you name any muscle group with these names? 10Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
11
Vastus,Maximus & Minimus The Vastus lateralis is the largest part of the Quadriceps femoris. (page 166)Quadriceps femoris Gluteus maximus larges tof the gluteal muscles The gluteus minimus, the smallest of the three gluteal muscles, is situated immediately beneath the gluteus medius.gluteal musclesgluteus medius 10/19/2015Dr. C.

Muscle Names – Shape Deltoid – means Triangular (see page 167, shoulder muscle) Latissimus – means wide (see page 167) 13Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
14
Muscle Name–Direction of fibers Rectus – means straight (rectus abdominis, “6-pack” in the abdomen – page 166). Transverse – means across – (sternocleidomastoid – page 169) Oblique – means diagonal (external abdominal oblique, page 167). Circularis – means circular (orbicularis occuli and orbicularis oris, page 169). 14Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
15
Muscle name - Location Pectoralis – means chest Pectoralis major Gluteus – means buttock Gluteus maximus Brachii – means arm Biceps brachii & Triceps brachii See pages 166 & 167 15Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
16
Muscle name – Number of origin Biceps (bi means 2) anchored to 2 sites. Tricep (tri means 3) anchored to 3 sites. Quadriceps (quad means 4) anchored to 4 sites 16Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
17
Muscle name - Action Abductor – moves away from the midline The abductor pollicis brevis is a muscle in the hand that functions as an abductor of the thumb.thumb 17Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
18
Muscle name - Action Adductor – moves toward midline 18Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
19
Muscle name - Action Flexor –means muscle flexes a limb. Example: Opening and closing the fist. 19Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
20
Muscle name - Action Extensor –means muscle extends a limb. Example: Extending your arms over your head. 20Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
21
Muscle name - Action Elevator – means muscle lifts a limb. For example:The Mandibular elevator muscle of the jaw that facilitates chewing. ACTIVITY: Pinch your upper lip (just below your nose) and pull upward. That was another elevator muscle! 21Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
22
FUNCTIONS OF SKELETAL MUSCLES 22Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
23
MOVEMENT Skeletal movement is produced by muscular contraction and is voluntary, involving: The prime mover that is responsible for producing a particular movement. In synergy (combination with) with the prime mover to produce movement. As an antagonist working in opposition with the prime mover and synergist. 23Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
24
POSTURE/MUSCLE TONE It is normal for the muscles to retain a partial state of contraction. This enables the body part to remain in the position that favors proper function. 24Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
25
Maintenance of body Temperature Most of the heat necessary to maintain the body temperature comes from the heat produced when the muscle fiber contracts. 25Dr. C. Graham10/19/2015
