🗑
the shoulder muscle that is the antagonist of the muscle described in question 2 above   deltoid  
🗑
prime mover of back extension; a composite muscle consisting of three columns   erector spinea  
🗑
a fleshy muscle forming part of the posterior abdominal wall that helps to maintain upright posture   quadratus lumborum  
🗑
acting individually small rectangular muscles that rotate the glenoid cavity of the scapulae inferiorly   romboids  
🗑
synergist of the trapezius in scapular elevation; acts to flex the head to the same side   levator scapulae  
🗑
synergist of latissimus dorsi in extension and adduction of humerus   teres major  
🗑
a rotator cuff muscle; prevents downward dislocation of the humerus   supraspinatus  
🗑
a rotator cuff muscle; rotates the humerus laterally   infraspinatus  
🗑
a rotator cuff muscle; lies immediately inferior to the infraspinatus   teres minor  
🗑
muscle that holds the scapula tightly against the thorax wall   serratus anterior  
🗑
kite-shaped muscle pair that elevates, stabilies and depresses the scapulae   trapezius  
🗑
small rectangular muscles that squarethe shoulders as they act together to retract the scapula   rhomboids  
🗑
small muscle pair that elevates the scapulae   levator scapulae  
🗑
two paired muslces forming the bulk of the pelvic diaphram   coccygeus, levator ani  
🗑
muscles that form the urogenital diaphragm   deep transverse perineal muscle, external urethral sphincter  
🗑
muscles forming the superficial space   bulbospongiosus, ischiocavernosus, superficial transverse perineal muscle  
🗑
a muscle that constricts the urethra   external urethral sphincter  
🗑
empties the uretra assists in penile erection   bulbospongiosus  
🗑
the most important muscle pair in supporting the pelvic visera; forms sphincters at the anorectal junction   levator ani  
🗑
retards venous drainage and helps maintain penile erection   ischiocanvernosus  
🗑
elevates the first two ribs   scalenes  
🗑
prime mover of back extension; consists of three muscle columns   erector spinae  
🗑
one flexes the vertebral column laterally; the pair extends the lumbar spine and fixes the 12th rib   quadratus lumborum  
🗑
extends the vertebral column and head and rotates them to the opposite side   semispinalis  
🗑
prime mover of head flexion; spasms of one causes torticollis   splenius  
🗑
acting together the pair extends the head; one rotates the head and bends it laterally   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
acts with other muscles in for to accomplish inspiration   diaphragm  
🗑
elevates the scapula; acts to flex the head to the same side of the body   levator scapulae  
🗑
helps to maintain and upright posture   quadratus lumborum  
🗑
prime mover of shoulder abduction when all the fibers contract   deltoid

prime mover of head flexion; extends or hyperextends the head   splenius  
🗑
the deepest muscle in the abdominal wall that compresses abdominal contents   transversus abdominis  
🗑
a tendons seam that runs from the sternum to the pubic symphysis   linea alba

🗑
helps to shrug shoulders   trapezius

muscle that holds the scapula tightly against the thorax wall   serratus anterior  
🗑
muscles of the thorax that promote the inspiratory phase of breathing   intercostals

prime mover of shoulder flexion and adduction; rotates arm medially   pectoralis major  
🗑
