vastus medialis (origin, action, insertion, antagonistic) Origin femur Insertion :patella,tibial tuberosity, lateral &medial condolyes of tibia Actions extends leg: keeps patella in grove
vastus intermedius (origin, insertion, action, antagonistic) Origin: anterior & lateral surface of femoral shaft Insertion:patella,tibial tuberosity, lateral &medial condolyes of tibia Actions extends knee
gracilis (action, antagonistic) action: flexes, medially rotates tibia at knee
tensor fasciae latae (action, antagonistic) action: extends knee, laterally rotates tibia, abduction and medial rotation of femur, steadies pelvis
bicep femoris (action, insertion, origin, antagonistic) Origin:long head ischial tuberosity short head line aspera & supercondylar of femur Insertion:head femur Actions:flexes knee, extends hip, elevates trunk, rotates tibia on femur, counteracts forward bending of hips Antagonist:Quadriceps muscle
semitendinosus (action, antagonistic) action - flex knee, medially rotates tibia on femur, counteracts forward bending of hips antagonistic - quadricep muscle
gastrocenemius (origin, insertion, action, antagonistic) origin: condyles,capsule of knee joint, lateral supercondyle of femur insertion: calcaneus action:plantar flex, flex knee, antagonistic:tibialis anterior muscle
soleus (action, antagonistic) action:plantar flex, steady leg on ankle while standing antagonist: tibialis anterior
tibialis anterior (action, antagonistic) action: dorsiflexes & inverts foot, resist backward tipping anatgonistFibularis longus, Gastrocnemius, Soleus, Plantaris, Tibialis posterior
diaphragm (action, synergistic) action:inspiration(2/3 air intake)contracts for sneezing, coughing, etc, compresses abdominal viscera in childbirth & expeulsion of feces/urine synergestic: transverse, rectus, external oblique and internal oblique, intercostals
external intercostal (action, antagonistic) action: elevate/protract ribs 2-12, expands thoracic cavity, creates vacuum, antagonistic intercostales interni muscles
internal intercostal (action, antagonistic) action: elevates ribs, expands thoracic cavity for inspiration, expiration depresses/retracts ribs compresses thoracic cavity, (only in forceful breathing, not relaxed) Antagonistic - external intercostals
massester (origin, insertion, action antagonisic) origin: zygomatic arch insertion: lateral surface of mandibular ramus and angle action elevation of mandible, small roles in protraction/retraction/lateral and medial excursion antagonistic:platysma muscle
digastric (origin, insertion, action synergestic) origin: mastoid notch of temporal bone, digastric fossa ofo mandible insertion:hyoid bone action:depresses mandible when hyoid is fixed, opens mouth widely, elevates hyoid when mandible is fixed synergistic mytohyoid
orbicularis oculi (origin, insertion, action, antagonistic) origin: lacrimal bone, adj regions of frontal and maxilla, medial angle of eyelid insertion: upper and lower eyelids, skin around margin of orbit action: sphincter of eyelids Antagonist: levator palpebrae superioris
obicularis oris (origin, insertion, action, synergistic) origin: modiolus of mouth insertion: submucosa and dermis of lip action: encircles mouth, closes lips, protrudes lips, speech synergistic: zygomaticus
zygomaticus major (origin, insertion, action, synergestic) origin:zygomatic bone insertion:superolateral angle of mouth action:draws angle of mouth upward and laterally in laughing synergistic: temporalis
platysma (origin, insertion, action, antagonistic) origin: fascia of deltoid, pectorals major insertion: mandible, skin & tissue of lower face action: draws lower lip angle of mouth, downward expression
