Question
Answer
how many muscles in the human body?   there are more than 600 muscles in the human body  
🗑
how much of body weight is muscle?   muscles account for about 40% the body's weight  
🗑
how were muscles named in early history and why was this a problem? what was the solution to this?   early anatomists named the muscles they saw in their native languages. this caused confusion.so, in 1895, a system of Latin names was developed  
🗑
origin   muscle attachment at the relatively stationary end  
🗑
insertion   muscle attachment at relatively mobile end  
🗑
belly   thicker middle portion of the muscle  
🗑
tendon   muscle to bone  
🗑
ligament   bone to bone  
🗑
aponeuroisis   a white, flattened tendinous expansion (sheath of tendon)  
🗑
dissect   separate muscles cleanly from adjacent muscles  
🗑
transect   cut a muscle in half (mid-belly)  
🗑
synergist   muscles that work together to cause movement  
🗑
example of synergist?   the risorius and zygomaticus major, both work together for smiling  
🗑
antagonist   muscles that work in opposition to eachother  
🗑
example of antagonist   biceps brachii and triceps brachii  
🗑
fixator   stabilizess joints as other movements go on  
🗑
example of fixator   your trapezius muscles around scapula stabilize or "fixing" shoulder while you pic up pen  
🗑
what are four muscle shapes?   circular, fusiform, convergent (triangular) and straight (parallel)  
🗑
example of circular muscle?   orbicularis oculi  
🗑
example of fusiform muscle?   biceps brachii  
🗑
example of convergent (triangular) muscle?   temporalis, or pectoralis major  
🗑
example of straight (parallel) muscle?   rectus abdominus  
🗑
draw a circular muscle   just draw successive circles on top of eachother like the orbicularis oculi  
🗑
draw a fusiform muscle   draw a bicep w thicker belly and scribbles in it  
🗑
draw a convergent muscle   fibers fans together to a point, point kind of continues, looks like a broom kinda  
🗑
draw straight muscle   draw parallel fibers, three groups with space for tendinous insertion  
🗑
example of muscle naed for its location?/   brachialis (in the arm)  
🗑
example of muscle named for its shape?   teres minor (round)  
🗑
example of muscle named for its origin and insertion?   sternocleidomastoid (sternum--< clavicle --> masstoid process of temporal bone  
🗑
example of muscle named for the number of heads?   biceps brachii  
🗑
trapezius   extends the head & neck stabilizes, elevates, depresses and retracts the scapula  
🗑
extends the head & neck stabilizes, elevates, depresses and retracts the scapula   trapezius  
🗑
draw the trapezius   start at occipital, go to spine of scapula. continue midway thru vertebrae and all the way down to 3rd to last thoracic. fibers fan into scapula from above and belo  
🗑
sternocleidomastoid   contract both sides = head flexion contract one side: draws head down (and tilts it) to the side opposite of contracting muscle helps to rotate the head  
🗑
contract both sides = head flexion contract one side: draws head down (and tilts it) to the side opposite of contracting muscle helps to rotate the head   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
what are the two muscles moving the head?   trapezius & sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
what are the 5 muscles of the scalp?   auricularis anterior, posterior, and superior, frontalis & occipitalis  
🗑
auricularis anterior   pull ear forward  
🗑
pull ear forward   auricularis anterior  
🗑
auricularis posterior   pull ear back  
🗑
pull ear back   auricularis posterior  
🗑
auricularis superior   pull ear up  
🗑
pull ear up   auricularis superior  
🗑
