Question
Answer
a major spine flexor; the name means "straight muscle of the abdomen"   rectus abdominus  
🗑
prime mover for shoulder flexion and adduction   pectoralis major  
🗑
prime mover for shoulder abduction   deltoid  
🗑
forms the external lateral walls of the abdomen   external oblique  
🗑
acting alone, each muscle of this pair turns the head toward the opposite shoulder   sternocleidomastiod  
🗑
prime mover to protract and hold the scapula against the thorax wall; the "boxer's muscle"   serratus anterior  
🗑
four muscle pairs that together form the so- called abdominal girdle   rectus abdominus; external and internal oblique; transverse abdominus  
🗑
a flat, thoracic muscle deep to the pectoralis major that acts to draw the scapula inferiorly or to elevate the rib cage   pectoralis minor  
🗑
an unpaired muscle that acts in concert with the muscles named immediately above to accomplish inspiration   diaphragm  
🗑
deep muscles of the thorax that promote the inspiratory phase of breathing   external intercostals  
🗑
the deepest muscle of the abdominal wall   transverse abdominus  
🗑
a tendinous "seam" running from the sternum to the pubic symphysis that indicates the midline point of fusion of the abdominal muscle sheaths   linea alba  
🗑
a muscle that enables you to shrug your shoulders or extend your head   trapezius  
🗑
a muscle that adducts the shoulder and causes extension of the shoulder joint   latissimus dorsi  
🗑
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 spinae  
🗑
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   rhomboids  
🗑
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 the humerus   terres 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   terres minor  
🗑
muscle that holds the scapula tightly against the thorax wall   serratus anterior  
🗑
kite-shaped muscle pair that elevates, stabilizes, and depresses the scapulae   trapezius  
🗑
small rectangular muscles that square the shoulders as they act together to retract the scapula   rhomboids  
🗑
small muscle pair that elevates the scapulae   levator scapulae  
🗑
two paired muscles forming the bulk of the pelvic diaphragm   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 pernieal muscle  
🗑
a muscle that constricts the urethra   external urethral sphincter  
🗑
empties the urethra; assists in penile erection   bulbospongiosus  
🗑
the most important muscle pair in supporting the pelvic viscera; forms sphincters at the anorectal junction   levator ani  
🗑
retards venous drainage and helps maintain penile erection   ischiocavernosus  
🗑
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 torticolis   splenius  
🗑
acting together, the pair extends the head; one rotates the head and bends it laterally   sternocleidomastoid  
🗑
