U2: Muscles II
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Muscles that act on the Anterior and Lateral abdominal wall and trunk | walls have fascia, 4 pairs of sheet-like muscles-rectus abdominus, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis. Offer support, flex of trunk & column, lateral bend & rotate, increase pressure. |
| Rectus abdominis | most medial & anterior of ab wall/trunk muscles. Runs vertically along anterior abdomen; compression of abdomen (childbirth, vomiting, defecation, situps) |
| External oblique | most superficial of anterolateral aspect of ab wall; fibers run at an angle; compresses abdomen, helps rotate and laterally bend trunk. |
| Internal oblique | anterolateral ab wall between external oblique & transversus abdominis; fibers run at an angle; compresses abdomen, helps rotate and laterally bend trunk. |
| Transversus abdominis | deepest of anterolateral ab muscles; fibers run horizontally; compresses abdomen |
| Muscles used in breathing | diaphragm, external intercostals, internal intercostals |
| Diaphragm | used in breathing; thoracic cavity floor. Relaxed=dome shaped;contracted=flat,primary muscle for inhalation/inspiration;voluntary (forced breath)/involuntary. Phrenic nerve innervation. Can increase intra-abdominal pressure |
| External intercostals | between ribs; elevate ribs, thus increasing volume of thoracic & pleural cavities & facilitating inspiration; synergists of diaphragm |
| Internal intercostals | between ribs, but run at opposite angle of external intercostals; depress ribs during forced expiration (exhalation) |
| Muscles of Pelvic Floor | include pelvic diaphragm, urogentical diaphragm, both are sheets of muscles that support pelvic organs (uterus, urinary bladder) |
| Muscles that move the shoulder | pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, trapezius, rhomboids |
| Pectoralis minor | deep to pectoralis major in upper chest; insertion is scapula; protracts (pulls forward) shoulder, specifically the scapula |
| Serratus anterior | “boxer’s muscle”-deep and inferior to pectoral muscles on lateral aspect of rib cage; runs from lateral chest toward shoulder; insertion is scapula. Protracts (pulls forward) shoulder, esp. scapula |
| Trapezius | large, superficial muscle in upper & middle back; upper fibers run inferiorly toward scapula, middle run horizontally toward scapula, lower run superiorly toward scapula. Insertion-scapula. Elevates, depresses, adducts, retracts scapula and shoulder |
| Rhomboids | two rectangular muscles lying deep to trapezius; insertion is scapula; along with middle fibers of trapezius, retract scapula thereby “squaring shoulders” |

| Latissimus dorsi | broad, flat, superficial muscle that extends from lower back to upper arm; insertion humerus; extends and adducts arm; draws arm backward and downward |
| Deltoid | forms much of fleshy portion of the shoulder area; common site for intramuscular injections. Insertion-deltoid tuberosity of humerus; abducts arm |
| Rotator cuff | four different specific muscles-supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor, subscapularis; muscles & tendons strengthen, stabilize shoulder joint; form nearly complete circle around shoulder joint |
| Supraspinatus | muscle of rotator cuff; lies superior to scapular spine on posterior scapula; deep to trapezius; helps hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity of scapula and thereby stabilizes shoulder joint |
| Infraspinatus | muscle of rotator cuff; lies inferior to scapular spine on posterior scapula; helps hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity of scapula and thereby stabilizes shoulder joint. |
| Teres minor | muscle of rotator cuff; small muscle inferior to infraspinatus; helps hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity of scapula and thereby stabilizes shoulder joint |
| Subscapularis | muscle of rotator cuff; lies against anterior aspect of scapula; helps hold head of humerus in glenoid cavity of scapula and thereby stabilizes shoulder joint |
| Muscles that move forearm | insert on radius or ulna; sheets of fascia separate the muscles in arm into anterior & posterior compartments; anterior-flexors of forearm; posterior-extend. Biceps brachii, brachialis, triceps brachii, brachioradialis, supinator, pronator teres |
| Biceps brachii | two-headed superficial muscle in anterior arm; origin-2 parts of scapula, one of which is coracoid process; insertion-radial tuberosity; action-flexes forearm |

| Supinator | deep forearm; insertion is radius; supination (turns forward and palm forward or upward) |
| Pronator teres | located in anterior forearm; insertion is radius; pronation (turns forearms and palm backward or downward) |
| Muscles that move the hand (wrist/carpals, palm/metacarpals, fingers/phalanges) | most muscles located in forearm; have long tendons that extend to hand, primarily allowing them to flex and extend wrist and fingers. |
| Flexors of the wrist and fingers | in anterior forearm; mainly innervated by median nerve; include flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris |
| Extensors of the wrist and fingers | located in posterior forearm; innervated by radial nerve; include extensor carpi radialis (extends wrist); extensor digitorum (digits except thumb); extensor carpi ulnaris (wrist) |
| Muscles that move the thigh (femur) and/or leg (tibia) | iliopsoas, Sartorius, quadriceps femoris muscle group, tensor fascia latae, gracilis, adductor muscle group, gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, hamstring muscle group |
| Iliopsoas | muscle that moves thigh and/or leg. Composite of 2 muscles, iliacus & psoas major, which exten from the ilium and vertebral column, respectively, to the anterior thigh. |

| Muscles that move the foot | most muscles are located in leg; sheets of fascia separate these leg muscles into anterior, lateral, posterior compartments; in ankle, bands of fascia are arranged like ankle bracelets & help hold distal tendons of these muscles in place. |
