Pronator Teres Pronates forearm and hand
Supinator Supinates forearm and hand
Iliopsoas Flexes hip
What makes up the Iliopsoas Iliacus and Psoas Major
Tensor Fascia Lata Flexes hip; abducts and medially rotates thigh; stabilizes femur on tibia when standing
Sartorius Flexes hip and knee; rotates thigh laterally and leg medially
Rectus Femoris Extends knee and flexes hip
Origin of Rectus Femoris Anterior inferior iliac spine
Insertion of Rectus Femoris Tibial tuberosity via patellar ligament
Vastus Lateralis Extends knee
Origin of Vastus Lateralis Greater trochanter and line Aspera of femur

Adductor Longus Adducts, laterally rotates thigh; tilts pelvis
Biceps Femoris Flexes knee; laterally rotates leg; extends hip
Origin of Biceps Femoris Ischial tuberosity and linea aspera of femur
Insertion of Biceps Femoris Head of fibula and lateral condyle of tibia
Semitendinosus Flexes knee; medially rotates leg; extends hip
Semimembranosus Flexes knee; medially rotates leg; tenses capsule of knee joint; extends hip
Gastrocnemius Plantar flexes foot; flexes knee
Extensor Digitorum Longus Extends four lateral toes; dorsiflexes and everts foot
Peroneus Longus/fibularis longus Everts and plantar flexes foot
Peroneus/fibrous Brevis Everts and plantar flexes foot
Tibialis anterior Dorsiflex and inverts the foot
Zero position Anatomical position
Flexes Decreases a joints angle
Extends Returns a body part to the zero position
Hyperextension Extension beyond zero position
Elevate Raises a body part vertically (shoulder shrug)
Depress Lower a body part vertically (release a shoulder shrug)
Retracts Posterior movement of a body part in a horizontal plane (rowing a boat)
Protracts Anterior movement of a body part in a horizontal plane (rowing a boat)
Abducts Moves a body part away from the midline of the body (jumping jacks)
Adducts Moves a body part towards the midline of the body (jumping jacks)
Muscle Compartments A Group of functionally related muscles enclosed and separated from others by connective tissue fascia
What does the muscle compartments contain Nerves, blood vessels that supply the muscle group
Example of muscle compartments Thoracic, abdominal walls, limbs
Indirect attachment to bone Tendons
Tendons Bridge the gap between muscle ends and bony attachment
Examples of tendons Biceps brachii, achilles tendon
Characteristics of tendons Collagen fibers of the endo-, peri-, and epimysium continue into the tendon From there into the periosteum and the matrix of bone Very strong structural continuity from muscle to bone
Direct (fleshy) attachment to bone characteristics Little separation between muscle and bone Muscle seems to immerse directly from bone
Examples of direct attachments Margins of brachial is, lateral head of triceps brachii
Origin Bony attachment at stationery end of muscle
Belly Thicker, middle region of muscle between origin and insertion
Insertion Bony attachment to mobile end of muscle
Which muscles do not insert on bone but the fascia or tendon of another muscle or on collagen fibers of the dermis Distal tendon of the biceps brachia inserts on the fascia of the forearm Fascial muscles insert on the skin
Action The effects produced by a muscle - To produce or prevent movement
What are the four categories of action Prime mover (agonist), synergist, antagonist, fixator
Prime mover (agonist) Muscle that produces most of the force during a joint action
Synergist Muscle that aids the prime mover -Stabilizes the nearby joint -Modifies the direction of movement
Antagonist Opposes the prime mover -Relaxes to give prime mover control over an action -Preventing excessive movement and injury
Fixator Muscle that prevents movements of bone
Example of Prime mover (agonist) Brachialis
Example of Synergist Biceps Brachii
Example of Antagonist Triceps brachii
Example of Fixator Muscle that holds scapula firmly in place -Rhomboids
Intrinsic muscles Entirely contained within a region, such as the hand -Both origin and insertion
Extrinsic muscles Act on a designated region, but has its origin elsewhere -Fingers: extrinsic muscles in the forearm
Blood supply to muscles Muscular system receives about 1.24L of blood per minute at rest (1/4 of the blood pumped by the heart)
Hernias Any condition in which the viscera protrudes through a weak point in the muscular wall of the abdominopelvic cavity
Compartment Syndrome Fasciae of arms and legs enclose muscle compartments very snugly
What happens if a blood vessel in a compartment is damaged Blood and tissue accumulate in the compartment
Example of fusiform muscle Biceps brachii
Example of parallel muscle Rectus abdominis
Example of triangular muscle Pectoralis major
Example of unipennate muscle Palmar interosseous
Example of bipennate muscle Rectus femoris
Example of multipennate muscle Deltoid
Example of circular muscle Orbicularis Oculi
