To visualize how these muscle groups work together, imagine that you want to raise your arm so that your hand is high above your head.

1. Abduct your arm from the anatomical position through 90 degrees (to the point at which the hand is level with the shoulder); this involves moving the humerus and is accomplished by the deltoid muscle assisted by the rotator cuff muscles, which hold the head of the humerus tightly in place. In the initial phase of abduction, the deltoid is assisted by the supraspinatus. Place your hand on your deltoid, and feel it contract as you abduct 90 degrees. 2. Next, move your arm from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, so that your hand is high above your head; this movement primarily involves rotation of the scapula, which is accomplished by the trapezius and serratus anterior muscles. Feel the inferior angle of your scapula as you abduct your arm to 90 degrees and then rotate to 180 degrees. Do you notice difference? Bear in mind that your arm cannot move from 90 degrees to 180 degrees unless the head of the humerus is held tightly in the glenoid cavity by the rotator cuff muscles, especially the supraspinatus. Damage to the supraspinatus muscle can prevent abduction past 90 degrees.

What are the seven characteristics that give muscles names?

1. Location 2.Size 3.Shape 4.Orientation of fascicles 5.Origin and insertion 6.Number of heads 7.Function.

List the criteria used to name muscles, and give an example of each.

1. Location. A pectoralis (chest) muscle is located in the chest, a gluteus (buttock) muscle is in the buttock, and a brachial (arm) muscle is in the arm. 2. Size. The gluteus Maximus (large) is the largest muscle of the buttock, and the gluteus minimus (small) is the smallest. A longus (long) muscle is longer than a braves (short) muscle. In addition, a second part to the name immediately tells us there is more than one related muscle. For example, if there is a breviss muscle, most likely a longus muscle is present in the same area. 3. Shape. The deltoid (triangular) muscle is triangular in shape, a Quadratus (quadrate) muscle is rectangular, and a teres (round) muscle is round. 4. Orientation of fascicles. A rectus (straight, parallel) muscle has muscle fascicles running in the same direction as the structure with which the muscle is associated whereas the fascicles of an oblique muscle lie at an angle to the length of the structure. 5. Origin and insertion. The sternocleidomastoid has its origin on the sternum and clavicle and its insertion on the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The brachioradialis originates in the arm (brachium) and inserts onto the radius. 6. Number of heads. A biceps muscle has two heads (origins), and a triceps muscle has three heads (origins). 7. Function. Recall from chapter 8 that body movements have names, for example, abduction and adduction. Abductors and adductors are the muscles that cause that type of movement. Abduction moves a structure away from the midline, and adduction moves a structure toward the midline.

Number of heads.

A biceps muscle has two heads (origins), and a triceps muscle has three heads (origins).

What usually causes ptosis on one side? Which muscles are responsible for puckering the lips, smiling, sneering, and frowning? What causes a dimple of the chin?

A droopy eyelid on one side, called ptosis, usually indicates that the nerve to the levator palpebrae superioris, or the part of the brain controlling that nerve, has been damaged. 1. The orbicularis oris and buccinator, the kissing muscles, pucker the mouth. 2. Smiling is accomplished by the zygomaticus major and minor, the levator anguli oris, and the risorius. 3. Sneering is accomplished by the levator labii superioris. 4. Frowning or pouting is achieved by the depressor anguli oris, the depressor labii inferioris, the mentalis. If the mentalis muscles are well developed on each side of the chin, a chin dimple, where the skin is tightly attached to the underlying bone or other connective tissue, may appear between the two muscles.

Location.

A pectoralis (chest) muscle is located in the chest, a gluteus (buttock) muscle is in the buttock, and a brachial (arm) muscle is in the arm.

Orientation of fascicles

A rectus (straight, parallel) muscle has muscle fascicles running in the same direction as the structure with which the muscle is associated, whereas the fascicles of an oblique muscle lie at an angle to the length of the structure.

What is the extensor retinaculum?

A strong ring of fibrous connective tissue, the extensive retinaculum, encircles the flexor and extensor tendons to hold them in place around the wrist, so that they do not "bowstring" (pull away from the bone) during muscle contraction.

How is abduction of the fingers accomplished ?

Abduction of the fingers is accomplished by the dorsal interossei and the abductor digiti minimi.

How is adduction acomplished.

Adduction is a function of the palmar interossei.

Summary of Muscle Actions on the Hip and Thigh Adduction

Give an example of class III lever system.

An example is a person using a shovel. The hand placed on the part of the handle closest to the blade provides the pull to lift the weight, such as a shovelful of dirt, and the hand placed near the end of the handle acts as the fulcrum

Give an example of the class II lever system.

An example is a wheelbarrow; the wheel is the fulcrum, and the person lifting on the handles provides the pull. The weight, or load, carried in the wheelbarrow is placed between the wheel and the operator.

FIGURE 10.23 Right Rotator Cuff Muscles

Anterior view of the rotator cuff. (Muscle names are in bold.)

What are tendons?

At the attachment point, tendons connect each muscle to the bone. Tendons are composed of dense connective tissue and can be long and ropelike, broad and sheetlike or very short.

What are bipennate muscles?

Bipennate muscles have fascicles arranged on two sides of the tendon.

What can help you remember the muscles.

Breaking the muscles into groups of actions and then practicing actions on yourself will help you remember the details of each muscle.

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Convergent

Broadly disturbed fascicles converge at a single tendon. Examples: Pectoralis major Pectoralis minor

What does mastication involve?

Chewing, or mastication, involves forcefully closing the mouth and grinding food between the teeth of the mandible. These activities are carried out by the muscles of mastication and the hyoid muscles.

What geometric shapes can muscle have?

Circle, triangular, trapezium, rhomboidal, quadrate

What are circular muscles?

Circular muscles have their fascicles arranged in a circle around an opening and act as sphincters (constrictors) to close the opening. Examples of circular muscles are those that surround the eyes, called the orbicularis oculi, and those that surround the mouth, called the orbicularis oris.

Describe the three classes of levers, and give an example of each type in the body.

Class I: The fulcrum (F) is located between the weight (W) and the pull (P), or force. The pull is directed downward, and the weight, on the opposite side of the fulcrum, is lifted. In the body, the fulcrum extends through several cervical vertebrae. Class II: The weight (W) is located between the fulcrum (F) and the pull (P), or force. The upward pull lifts the weight. The movement of the mandible is easier to compare to a wheelbarrow if the head is considered upside down. Class III: The pull (P), or force, is located the fulcrum (F) and the weight (W). The upward pull lifts the weight.

What decreases the volume of the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity?

Contraction of the abdominal muscle when the vertebral column is stationary decreases the volume of the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity and can aid in such functions as forced expiration, vomiting, defecation, coughing, and childbirth.

What are convergent muscles?

Convergent muscles have fascicles that join at one common tendon from a wide area, which creates muscles that are triangular in shape. Having fibers that lie side by side can result in muscles with less strength if the total number of fibers is low. However, if the fibers are long, these muscles can have a large range of motion. One example of convergent muscles with many long fibers is the pectoralis muscles of the chest

What happens during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the muscles of the pelvic diaphragm and the urogenital triangle may be stretched by the extra weight of the fetus, and specific exercises are designed to strengthen them.

What are arms attached to the thorax by?

Each of our arms is attached to the thorax by several muscles, including the pectoralis major and the latissimus dorsi.

What do the four rectus muscles attach to?

Each of the four rectus (straight) muscles attaches to the eyeball anterior to the center of the sphere. 1. The superior rectus rotates the anterior portion of the eyeball superiorly, so that the pupil, and thus the gaze, is directed superiorly (looking up). 2. The inferior rectus depresses the gaze. 3.The lateral rectus laterally deviates (abducts) the gaze (looking on the side). 4. The medial recuts medially deviates (adducts) the gaze (looking toward the nose)>

What muscles help move food into the mouth?

Even though the muscles of the tongue and the buccinator are not involved in chewing, they help move the food and hold it in place between the teeth.

What do everyday movements involve?

Everyday movements involve skeletal muscles contracting to pull one bone of a joint toward another bone of the same joint. However, not all muscles are attached to bone at both ends.

How is extension accomplished by the four medial digits?

Extension is accomplished by the extensor digitorum. The tendons of this muscle are very visible on the dorsal of the hand.

How extension of the wrist and fingers accomplished?

Extension of the wrist and fingers, such as when opening a fist, is accomplished by most of the posterior forearm muscles.

How is extension of the wrist accomplished?

Extension of the wrist is through the action of three posterior forearm muscles, (1) the extensor carpi radialis longus, (2) the extensor carpi radialis brevis, and (3) the extensor carpi ulnaris.

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Multipennate

Fascicles are arranged at many places around the central tendon. They are spread out at angles to many smaller tendons. Example: Deltoid

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Circular

Fascicles are arranged in a circle around an opening and act as sphincters to close the opening. Examples: Orbicularis oris Obricularis oculi

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Bipennate

Fascicles are on both sides of the tendon. Example: Rectus femoris

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Parallel

Fascicles lie parallel to one another and to the long axis of the muscle. Examples: Trapezius Rhomboideus Rectus abdominis

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Fusiform

Fascicles lie parallel to the long axis of the muscle. The belly of the muscle is larger in diameter than the ends. Example: Biceps brachii (two headed; shown) Triceps brachii (thee-headed)

Pattern of Fascicle Arrangement: Pennate Unipennate

Fascicles originate from a tendon that runs the length of the entire muscle. There are three different patters. Fascicles are on only one side of the tendon. Example: Palmar interosseus Semimembranous

Muscle: Perineum Urogenital triangle Bulbospongiosus

Female-central tendon of perineum Insertion: Base of clitoris Nerve: Pudendal Action: Erects clitoris

What movement do the fibularis muscles have in common? The tibialiss muscles?

Fibularis muscles both help evert and plantar flex the foot. Tiabialis muscles help flex and invert the foot.

List the muscles that cause flexion and extension of the elbow. Where are these muscles located?

Flexion of elbow -Biceps brachii Anterior arm -Brachialis Lateral arm -Brachioradialis lateral and inferior to biceps brachii Extension of elbow -Triceps brachii Posterior arm -Anconeus Posterior or lateral elbow

What muscle cause flexion and extension of the shoulder? Adduction and abduction of the arm? What muscle abducts the arm to 90 degrees? Above 90 degrees?

Flexion of shoulder -Deltoid -Pectoralis major -Coracobrachialis -Biceps brachii Extension of shoulder -Deltoid -Teres major -Latissimus dorsi -Pectoralis major -Triceps brachii Adduction of arm: -Pectoralis major -Latissimus dorsi -Teres major -Teres minor -Triceps brachii -Coracobrachialis Abduction of arm: -Deltoid -Siupraspinatus 1.Abduct your arm from the anatomical position through 90 degrees (to the point at which the hand is level with the shoulder); this involves moving the humerus and is accomplished by the deltoid muscle assisted by the rotator cuff muscles, which hold the head of the humerus tightly in place. In the initial phase of abduction, the deltoid is assisted by the supraspinatus. Place your hand on your deltoid, and feel it contract as you abduct 90 degrees. 2. Next, move your arm from 90 degrees to 180 degrees, so that your hand is high above your head; this movement primarily involves rotation of the scapula, which is accomplished by the trapezius and serratus anterior muscles.

What is the flexion of the four medial digits a function of?

Flexion of the four medial digits is a function of (1) the flexor digitorum superficially and (2) the flexor digitorum profundus.

How is flexion of the wrist and fingers accomplished?

Flexion of the wrist and fingers, such as when making a fist, is accomplished by most of the anterior forearm muscles.

How is flexion of the wrist accomplished?

Flexion of the wrist is accomplished by two major anterior forearm muscles, (1) the flexor carpi radialis and (2) the flexor carpi ulnaris.

Describe the muscle groups that cause flexion and extension of the wrist.

Flexion of the wrist is accomplished by two major anterior forearm muscles, (1) the flexor carpi radialis and (2) the flexor carpi ulnaris. Extension of the wrist is through the action of three posterior forearm muscles, (1) the extensor carpi radialis longus, (2) the extensor carpi radialis brevis, and (3) the extensor carpi ulanris.

Give an example of weight can affect body movement.

For example, only a very small shift in weight is needed for one child to lift the other on a seesaw. However, a class I lever is quite limited as to how much weight can be lifted and how high it can be lifted. For example, consider what happens when the child on one end of the seesaw is much larger than the child on the other end.

Give an example of agonists and antagonists.

For example, the biceps brachii flexes (bends) the elbow, and the triceps brachii extends the elbow. In the example of elbow flexion, the biceps brachii is the agonist (flexes), whereas the triceps brachii is the antagonist (extends). When extending the elbow, the muscles' roles are reversed; the triceps brachii is the agonist and the biceps brachii is the antagonist. Most joints in the body have agonist and antagonist groups or pairs.

Give an example of how muscles work in groups.

For example, the deltoid, biceps brachii, and pectorals major all help flex the shoulder. Furthermore, many muscles are members of more than one group, depending on the type of movement being produced. for example, the anterior part of the deltoid muscle functions with the flexors of the shoulder, whereas the posterior part functions with the extensors of the shoulder. In elbow flexion, the biceps brachii and the brachial are synergists. However, the brachial muscle is more important for elbow flexion than the biceps brachii.

Give an example of prime movers and fixators.

For example, the origin of a prime mover is often stabilized by fixators, so that its action occurs at its point of insertion. When moving the humerus, the muscles of the scapula act as fixators to hold the scapula in space.

Give an example of muscles have more than one origin.

For example, the triceps brachii has three origins that join together to form one muscle.

How many groups of thoracic muscles are associated with the rib cage?

Name the muscle that is mainly responsible for respiratory movements. What other muscles aid this movement?

Four major groups of thoracic muscles are associated with the rib cage, which helps air flow into the lungs. Changes in the diameter of the rib cage are important for determining airflow into and out of the lungs. The scalene muscles elevate the first two ribs during more forceful inspiration. The external intercostals elevate the ribs during quiet, resting inspiration. The internal intercostals and transversus thoracis muscles depress the ribs during forced expiration.

How is frowning or pouting achieved?

Frowning or pouting is achieved by the depressor anguli oris, the depressor labii inferioris, and the mentalis. If the mentalist muscles are well developed on each side of the chin dimple, where the skin is tightly attached to the underlying bone or other connective tissue, may appear between the two muscles.

What are Fusiform muscles?

Fusiform muscles are those whose fascicles run the length of the entire muscle and taper at each end to terminate at tendons. Fusiform muscles have a wider belly than the ends of the muscle. Because their fibers are long, but are commonly numerous, these muscles generally tend to be stronger than other muscles with parallel fascicle arrangements.

Name the leg muscles that flex the knee. Which of them can also plantar flex the foot?

Gastrocnemius Plantaris Popliteus The plantaris can flex the foot

What happens if both sternocleidomastoid muscles contract?

If both contract together, they flex the neck (chin to chest).

What happens if sternocleidomastoid muscle flexes on one side?

If the sternocleidomastoid muscle on only one side of the neck contracts, the neck is rotated toward the opposite side.

What happens if the suprahyoid muscles fix?

If the suprahyoid muscles fix the hyoid and thus stabilize it from above, the thyrohyoid muscle (an infrahyoid muscle) can elevate the larynx. To observe this effect, place your hand on your larynx (Adam's apple) and swallow.

What happens if the dome or phrenic nerve controlling the diaphragm is severely damaged?

If this dome of skeletal muscle or the phrenic nerve controlling it is severely damaged, the amount of air moving into and out of the lungs may be so small that the individual cannot survive without the aid of an artificial respirator.

Summary of Muscle Actions on the Hip and Thigh Flexion

Iliopsoas Tensor fascia latae Sartorius Adductor longus Adductor brevis Pectineus

Describe class I lever system.

In a class I lever system, the fulcrum is between the pull and the weight. A child's seesaw is this type of lever. The children on the seesaw alternate between being the weight and being the pull across a fulcrum in the center of the board.

Describe a class II lever system.

In a class II lever system, the weight is located between the fulcrum and the pull.

Explain class III lever system.

In a class III lever system, the most common type in the body, the pull is between the fulcrum and the weight.

What is prime mover?

In a group of synergists, the muscle that contributes most to the movement is called the prime mover. The brachialis is the prime mover in elbow flexion.

What is the linea alba?

In a relatively muscular person with little body fat, a vertical line called the line alba, or white line, is visible. It is an area consisting of only dense regular connective tissue. The line alba extends from the diploid process of the sternum through the navel to the pubis.

Where do some muscles of the thigh originate?

In addition to the hip muscles, some of the muscles located in the thigh originate on the hip bone and can cause movement of the thigh.

What are fixators?

In some groups of synergists, the prime mover needs to be stabilized. The stabilizers of prime movers are called fixators. Usually, a fixator holds one bone in place relative to the body while a more distal bone is moved.

What is muscle strength related to?

In summary, muscle strength is primarily related to total fascicle number in muscle, whereas range of motion is correlated to fascicle arrangement. Muscles with parallel fibers have the largest range of motion.

Describe class I lever system in the body?

In the body, movement of the head to look up, such as at the night sky, is this type of lever. The atlantoocipital joint in the neck is the fulcrum (F). The posterior neck muscles provide the pull (P) by depressing the back of the head, which is the weight (W). With the weight balanced over the fulcrum, only a small amount of pull is required to lift the weight.

Describe class III lever system in the body.

In the body, the action of the biceps brachii muscle (force) pulling on the radius (lever) to flex the elbow (fulcrum) and elevate the hand (weight) is a class III lever. This type of lever system does not allow as great a weight to be lifted, but it can be lifted a greater distance.

Describe how joints, bones and muscles work together in the body.

In the body, the joints function as fulcrums, the bones function as levers, and muscles provide the force.

Describe class II lever system in the body

In the body, there are relatively few examples of class II levers. Depressing the mandible when you open your mouth is one example. Another is your entire body when doing push-ups-your toes are the fulcrum, your body is the weight, and your arms provide the pull (force).

What is the head?

In the case of multiple origins, each origin is called a head.

What are unipennate muscles?

In unipennate muscles, the fascicles are on one side of the tendon.

Describe the muscles of the eye and the movements they produce.

Inferior Oblique= elevates and laterally moves eye Superior Oblique= Depresses and laterally moves ey Inferior Rectus= Depresses and medially moves ey Lateral Rectus= Laterally moves eye Medial Rectus= Medially moves ey Superior Rectus= Elevates and medially moves eye

List the general actions performed by intrinsic foot muscles.

Intrinsic foot muscles, located within the foot itself, flex, extend, abduct, and adduct the toes. They are arranged in a manner similar to that of the intrinsic muscles of the hand.

What are intrinsic foot muscles?

Intrinsic foot muscles, located within the foot itself, flex, extend, abduct, and adduct the toes. They are arranged in a manner similar to that of the intrinsic muscles of the hand.

What is the perineum?

Just inferior to (beneath) the pelvic diaphragm is a diamond-shaped area called the perineum.

How is lateral flexion of the neck accomplished?

Lateral flexion of the neck (moving the head back to the midline after it has been tilted to one side) is accomplished by the lateral flexors of the opposite side.

What is the linea semilunaris?

Lateral to the recuts abdominis is the linea semilunaris ( a cresent- or half-moon-shaped line); lateral to it are three layers of muscle. From superficial to deep, these muscles are the external abdominal oblique, internal abdominal oblique, and transverses abdominis.

What are levers?

Levers are machines that consist of a rigid pole or beam that can pivot, or move, at a stationary hinge.

What muscle cause rotation of the arm?

Medial Rotation -Pecotralis major -Teres major -Latissimus dorsi -Deltoid -Subscapularis Lateral Rotation -Deltoid -Infraspinatus -Teres minor

What do most laryngeal muscles do?

Most of the laryngeal muscles help narrow or close the laryngeal opening, so that food does not enter the larynx when a person swallows. The remaining muscles shorten (relax) the vocal cords to lower the pitch of the voice or lengthen (tense) the vocal cords to raise the pitch of the voice.

Where are most skeletal muscle attached to?

Most skeletal muscles are attached to bones. They extend from bone to bone across the linking joint.

How is movement of the thumb and little finger accomplished?

Movement of the thumb and little finger is accomplished by two groups of muscles called the thenar eminence and the hyopthenar eminence.

Describe the muscles that move the thumb. The tendons of what muscles form the anatomical snuffbox?

Movement of the thumb is caused in part by three muscles: (1) the abductor policis longus, (2) the extensor policis longus, and (3) the extensor policis brevis. These tendons form the sides of a depression on the posterolateral side of the wrist called the "anatomical snuffbox". When snuff was in use, a small pinch could be placed into the anatomical snuffbox and inhaled through the nose.

How is movement of the thumb caused?

What are multipennate muscles?

Multipennate muscles are those with fascicles arranged at many places around the central tendon.

How do muscles function?

Muscles also tend to function in groups to accomplish specific movements. The muscles of the group are called synergists.

What do muscles and their bones perform?

Muscles and their bones perform work together through levers.

Using the terms fulcrum, lever, and force, explain how contraction of a muscle result in movement.

Muscles and their bones perform work together through levers. Levers are machines that consist of a rigid pole or beam that can pivot, or move, at a stationary hinge. The hinge is called a fulcrum (F). The lever moves at the hinge and can apply force to a weight (W). There are three classes, or types, of levers based not the location of the fulcrum, weight, and force along the lever. In the body, the joints function as fulcrums, the bones function as levers, and muscles provide the force. When muscles contract, the pull (P), or force, of muscle contraction is applied to the levers (bones), causing them to move a body part (the weight). In figure 10.2, you can see that the three classes of levers are classes I, II, and III.

FIGURE 10.1 Muscle Attachment and Movements

Muscles are attached to bones by tendons. The biceps brachii has two heads, which originate on the scapula. The triceps brachii has three heads, which originate on the scapula and the humerus. The biceps brachii inserts onto the radial tuberosity and onto nearby connective tissue. The triceps brachii inserts onto the olecranon process of the ulna.

How are muscles studied?

Muscles are typically studied in groups called agonists and antagonists. The action of a single muscle or group of muscles (agonist) is opposed by that of another muscle or group of muscles (antagonist).

What are parallel muscles?

Parallel muscles, similarly to convergent muscles, have fascicles that are organized parallel to the long axis of the muscle, but they terminate on a flat tendon that spans the width of the entire muscle. As a consequence, parallel muscles can shorten to a large degree because the fascicles are in a direct line with the tendon; however, they contract with less force because fewer total fascicles are attached to the tendon. In addition to those shown in table 10.1, the hyoid muscles in the neck are examples of parallel muscles.

Pterygoids

Name the muscles responsible for opening and closing the jaw.

Pterygoids Masseter Temporalis

Function

Recall from chapter 8 that body movements have names, for example abduction and adduction. Abductors and adductors are the muscles that cause that type of movement. Abduction moves a structure away from the midline, and adduction moves a structure toward the midline.

What makes learning the names of muscles much easier?

Recognizing the Greek or Latin origins of muscle names makes learning those names much easier. In the following list, translations of the muscle names are given in parentheses.

FIGURE 10.11 Tongue Muscles

Right lateral view of tongue muscles. (Muscle names in bold are tongue muscles.)

Rotation and lateral flexion of the neck are accomplished by what muscles?

Rotation and lateral flexion of the neck are accomplished by muscles of both the lateral and posterior groups.

Name the major movements of the head caused by contraction of the anterior, posterior, and lateral neck muscles.

Rotation and lateral flexion of the neck are accomplished by muscles of both the lateral and posterior groups. The sternocleidomastoid muscle is the prime mover of the lateral group. It is easily seen on the anterior and lateral sides of the neck, especially if the head is extended slightly and rotated to one side. If the sternocleidomastoid muscle on only one side of the neck contracts, the neck is rotated toward the opposite side. If both contract together, they flex the neck (chin to chest). The scalene muscles, which are deep and lateral on the neck, assist the sternocleidomastoid in neck flexion. Lateral flexion of the neck (moving the head back to the midline after it has been tilted to one side) is accomplished by the lateral flexors of the opposite side.

What are the groups of muscles that originate on the hip bone?

Several hip muscles originate on the hip bone and insert onto the femur. These muscles are divided into three groups: anterior, posterolateral, and deep.

What does slight mandibular depression involve?

Summary of Muscle Actions on the Hip and Thigh Medial Rotation

Tensor fascia latae Gluteus medius Gluteus minimus

Which muscles open and close the openings to the auditory tube and to the larynx?

Tensor veli palatini Salpingopharyngeus The salpingopharyngeus also opens the auditory tube, which connects the middle ear to the pharynx. Opening the auditory tube equalizes the pressure between the middle ear and the atmosphere; this is why It is sometimes helpful to chew gum or swallow when ascending or descending a mountain in a car or when changing altitudes in an airplane.

Explain the anatomical basis for the segments ("cuts") seen on a well-muscled individual's abdomen. What are the functions of the abdominal muscles?List the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall.

The abdominal muscle help rotate the vertebral column. The muscles of the anterior abdominal wall include the (1) rectus abdominis, (2) external abdominal oblique, (3) internal abdominal oblique, and (4) transversus abdominis. These muscles flex and rotate the vertebral column. Contraction of the abdominal muscles when the vertebral column is stationary decreases the volume of the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity is stationary decreases the volume of the abdominal cavity and the thoracic cavity and can aid in such functions as forced expiration, vomitting, defecation, coughing, and childbirth. The criss-cross layering of all the abdominal muscles creates a strong anterior wall, which holds in and protects the abdominal viscera. This is especially important because the anterior wall is not supported by bone. In a relatively muscular person with little body fat, a vertical line called the linea alba, or white line, is visible. It is an area consisting of only dense regular connective tissue. The linea alba extends from the diploid process of the sternum through the navel to the pubis. On each side of the linea alba is the recuts abdominis, surrounded by a rectus sheath. Tendinous intersections (tendinous inscriptions) transect the rectus abdominis at three, or sometimes more, locations, causing the abdominal wall of a lean, well-muscled person to appear segmented (a "six-pack"). Lateral to the rectus abdominis is the linea semilunaris (a crescent- or half-moon-shaped line); lateral to it are three layers of muscle. From superficial (outermost) to deep (innermost), these muscles are the external abdominal oblique, internal abdominal oblique, and transversus abdominis.

A tennis player complains of pain in the shoulder when she abducts her arm while serving or reaching for an overhead volley (extreme abduction). In extreme abduction, the supraspinatus muscle rises superiorly and may be damaged by compression against what bony structure?

What is the iliopsoas?

Name the anterior hip muscle that flexes the hip. What muscles act as synergists to this muscle?

The anterior hip muscles, the iliacus and the psoas major, flex the hip. Because these muscles share an insertion and produce the same movement, they are often referred to collectively as the iliopsoas. When the thigh is fixed, the iliopsoas flexes the trunk on the thigh. For example, the iliopsoas does most of the work when a person does sit-ups.

What are the extensor muscles of the leg?

The anterior leg muscles are extensor muscles. They cause dorsiflexion, eversion, and inversion of the foot as well as extension of the toes.

The auricular anterior, which draws the ear up and forward; the auricular superior, which raises it; and the auricular posterior, which pulls it backwards The occipitalfrontalis raises the eyebrows and furrows the skin of the forehead. The orbicularis oculi closes the eyelids and causes "crow's-feet" wrinkles in the skin at the lateral corners of the eyes. The levator palpebrae superioris raises the upper lids. The corrugated supercilii draws the eyebrows inferiorly and medially, producing vertical corrugations (furrows) in the skin between the eyes. The nasals dilates the nostrils.

What assist the brachial in elbow flexion?

What does the corrugator supercilii do?

The corrugator supercilii draws the eyebrows inferiorly and medially, producing vertical corrugations (furrow) in the skin between the eyes.

What creates a strong anterior wall?

The criss-cross layering of all the abdominal muscles creates a strong anterior wall, which holds in and protects the abdominal viscera. This is especially important because the anterior wall is not supported by bone.

What muscles laterally rotate the thigh?

Shape

The deltoid (triangular) muscle is triangular in shape, a Quadratus (quadrate) muscle is rectangular, and a teres (round) muscle is round.

Describe the deltoid muscle.

The deltoid muscle is like three muscles in one: The anterior fibers flex the shoulder, the lateral fibers abduct the arm, and the posterior fibers extend the shoulder. The deltoid muscle is part of the group of muscles that binds the humerus to the scapula. However, the primary muscles holding the head of the humerus in the glenoid cavity are called the rotator cuff muscles because they form a cuff or cap over the proximal humerus.

While weight training, Pedro strained his back injuring the following muscles: psoas major, iliac, pectinous, sartorial, vastus lateralis, vastus medium, vastus intermedium, and rectus femoris. Predict Pedro's symptoms and which movements of his lower limb were affected, other than walking on a flat surface. What types of daily tasks would be difficult for Pedro to perform?

The description of Pedro's injury provided specific information about the regions of the body affected: the left hip and thigh. These facts will help us determine Pedro's symptoms and predict the movements that may be affected by his injury. We read in this chapter that the muscles affected by Pedro's injury (poses major, iliac, pectinous, sartorial, vastus laterals, vastus medius, vasuts intermedius, and rectus femoris) are involved in flexing the hip, the knee, or both. Therefore, we can conclude that movements involving hip and knee flexion, such as walking up and down stairs, would be affected. Any tasks that require Pedro to walk up and down the stairs would be more difficult for him. Sitting and standing may also be affected, but the weakness in Pedro's left hip and thigh may be compensated for by increased muscle strength on his right side.

What is the diaphragm responsible for?

The diaphragm is the muscle responsible for normal, quiet breathing. It is a dome-shaped muscle; when it contracts, the dome flattens slightly, causing the volume of the thoracic cavity to increase and resulting in inspiration.

The external intercostals elevate the ribs during quiet, resting inspiration.

Contrast the location and actions of the extrinsic and intrinsic muscles. What is the retinaculum?

The extrinsic hand muscles are located in the posterior forearm and have tendons that extend into the hand. These muscle extend the wrist and fingers. A strong ring of fibrous connective tissue, the extensor retinaculum, encircles the flexor and extensor tendons to hold them in place around the wrist, so that they do not "bowstring" (pull away from the bone) during muscle contraction. The intrinsic hand muscles are entirely within the hand. These muscles move the fingers. Abduction of the fingers is accomplished by the dorsal interossei and the abductor digiti minimi, whereas adduction is a function of the palmar interossei. A retinaculum is a band of thickened deep fascia around tendons that holds them in place. It is not part of any muscle. Its function is mostly to stabilize a tendon. The term retinaculum is New Latin, derived from the Latin ver retinere.

Size

The gluteus Maximus (large) is the largest muscle of the buttock, and the gluteus minus (small) is the smallest. A longus (long) muscle is longer than a brevis (short) muscle. In addition, a second part to the name immediately tells us there is more than one related muscle. For example, if there is a brevis muscle, most likely a longus muscle is present in the same area.

What does the gluteus Maximus contribute?

The gluteus Maximus contributes most of the mass that can be seen as the buttocks.

When does the gluteus Maximus function at its maximum force?

The gluteus Maximus functions at its maximum force in extension of the thigh when the hip is flexed at a 45-degree angle, so that the muscle is optimally stretched, which accounts for both the spinter's stance and the bicycle racing posture.

What muscles help tilt the pelvis and maintain the trunk in an upright posture?

The gluteus medius and minimus muscles help tilt the pelvis and maintain the trunk in an upright posture during walking, as the foot of the opposite limb is raised from the ground. Without the action of these muscles, the pelvis tends to sag downward on the unsupported side.

What is the gluteus medius?

The gluteus medius, a common site for injections, creates a smaller mass just superior and lateral to the gluteus Maximus.

The scalene muscles, which are deep and lateral on the neck, assist the sternocleidomastoid in neck flexion.

Where does the serrates anterior insert onto?

The serrauts anterior inserts onto the medial border of the scapula.

What greatly influences the degree to which a muscle can contract or the amount of force it can generate?

The shape and size of any given muscle greatly influence the degree to which it can contract and the amount of force it can generate.

What determines the type of movement for a muscle?

The shape of the muscle determines the type of movement it has.

What are the skeletal muscles of the face?

The skeletal muscles of the face are cutaneous muscles attached to the skin. Many animals have cutaneous muscles over the trunk that allow the skin to twitch to remove irritants, such as insects. In humans, facial expressions are important components of nonverbal communication, and the cutaneous muscles are confined primarily to the face and neck.

What does the soft palate, pharynx (throat), and larynx contain?

The soft palate, pharynx (throat), and larynx contain several muscles involved in swallowing and speech. The muscles of the soft palate close the posterior opening to the nasal cavity during swallowing.

What is muscle action?

The specific body movement a muscle contraction causes is called the muscle's action.

Describe the roles of the following in muscle action: agonist, antagonist, synergist, fixator, and prime mover.

The specific body movement a muscle contraction causes is called the muscle's action. Muscles are typically studied in groups called agonsits and antagonists. The action of a single muscle or group of muscles (agonist) is opposed by that of another muscle or group of muscles (antagonist). For example, the biceps brachii flexes (bends) the elbow, and the triceps brachii extends the elbow. In the example of elbow flexion, the biceps brachii is the agonist (flexes), whereas the triceps brachii is the antagonist (extends). When extending the elbow, the muscles' roles are reversed; the triceps brachii is the agonist and the biceps brachii is the antagonist. Most joins in the body have agonist and antagonist groups or pairs. Muscles also tend to function in groups to accomplish specific movements. The muscles of the group are called synergists. For example, the deltoid, biceps brachii, and pectorals major all help flex the shoulder. Furthermore, many muscles are members of more than one group, depending on the type of movement being produced. For example, the anterior part of the deltoid muscle functions with the flexors of the shoulder, whereas the posterior part functions with the extensors of the shoulder. In elbow flexion, the biceps brachii and the brachial are synergists. However, the brachial muscle is more important for elbow flexion than the biceps brachii. In a group of synergists, the muscle that contributes most of to the movement is called the prime mover. The brachial is the prime mover in elbow flexion. In some groups of synergists, the prime mover needs to be stabilized. The stabilizers of prime movers are called fixators. Usually, a fixator holds one bone in place relative to the body while a more distal bone is moved. For example, the origin of a prime mover is often stabilized by fixators, so that its action occurs at its point of insertion. When moving the humerus, the muscles of the scapula act as fixators to hold the scapular in place.

Origin and insertion.

The sternocleidomastoid has its origin on the sternum and clavicle and its insertion on the mastoid process of the temporal bone. The brachioradialis originates in the arm (brachium) and inserts on the radius.

What is the sternocleidomastoid muscle?

The sternocleidomastoid muscle is the prime mover of the lateral group. It is easily seen on the anterior and lateral sides of the neck, especially if the head is extended slightly and rotated on one side.

What muscles form the bulge of the calf?

The superficial muscles of the posterior compartment of the leg, the gastrocnemius and the soles, form the bulge of the calf. They merge with the small plantaris muscle to form the common calcaneal tendon, or Achilles tendon.

Can the superficial muscles that act on the scapula be seen?

The superficial muscles that act on the scapula can easily be seen on a living person. The trapezius forms the upper line from each shoulder to the neck, and the origin of the serrates anterior from the first eight or nine ribs can be seen along the lateral thorax.

Are the superior and inferior rectus straight?

The superior rectus and inferior rectus are not completely straight in their orientation to the eye; thus, they also medially deviate the gaze as they contract.

FIGURE 10.8 Facial Expressions

The surface anatomy of the muscles of facial expressions are shown in this figure.

What does the tendon of the flexor carpi radialis serve as?

The tendon of the flexor carpi radialis serves as a landmark for locating the radial pulse, which is lateral to the tendon.

Where can the tendons of the fibularis muscles be seen?

The tendons of the fibularis muscles can be seen on the lateral side of the ankle.

What is the thenar eminence?

The thenar eminence is a fleshy prominence at the base of the thumb formed by three muscles, which include (1) flexor policis brevis, (2) the abductor policis brevis, and (3) the opponens policis.

What does the tongue consist of?

The tongue consists of a mass of intrinsic muscles, which are found entirely within the tongue, and are involved in changing the shape of the tongue, and extrinsic muscles, which are outside of the tongue but attached to it, and help change the shape of and move th tongue.

In what ways are the tongue important to mastication and speech?

The tongue is important in mastication and speech in several ways: (1) It moves food around in the mouth; (2) with the buccinator, it holds food inlace while the teeth grind it; (3) it pushes food up to the palate and back toward the pharynx to initiate swallowing; and (4) it changes shape to modify sound during speech.

What does the triceps brachii constitute?

The triceps brachii constitutes the main mass visible on the posterior aspect of the arm.

What are the two points of attachment called?

The two points of attachment of each muscle to the bone are called the origin and the insertion.

Distinguish between the origin and the insertion of a muscle. In which direction is movement?

The two points of attachment of each muscle to the bone are called the origin and the insertion. The origin, also called the fixed end, is usually the most stationary, proximal end of the muscle. Some muscles have more than one origin. For example, the triceps brachii has three origins that join together to form one muscle. In the case of multiple origins, each origin is called a head. The insertion, or mobile end, is usually the distal end of the muscle attached to the bone being pulled toward the other bone of the joint. The part of the muscle between the origin and the insertion is the belly. At the attachment point, tendons connect each muscle to the bone. Tendons are composed of dense connective tissue and can be long and ropelike, broad and sheetlike, or very short. The specific body movement a muscle contraction causes is called the muscle's action. Muscles are typically studied in groups called agonist and antagonists. The action of a single muscle or group of muscles (agonist) is opposed by that of another muscle or group of muscles (antagonist). For example, the biceps brachii flexes (bends) the elbow, and the triceps brachii extends the elbow. In the example of elbow flexion, the biceps brachii is the agonist (flexes), whereas the triceps brachii is the antagonist (extends). When extending the elbow, the muscles' roles are reversed; the triceps brachii is the agonist and the biceps brachii is the antagonist. Most joints in the body have agonist and antagonist groups or pairs.

What is the vastus lateralis used for?

The vastus laterals is sometimes used as an injection site, especially in infants who do not have well-developed deltoid or gluteal muscles.

Class II

The weight (W) is located between the fulcrum (F) and the pull (P), or force. The upward pull lifts the weight. The movement of the mandible easier to compare to a wheelbarrow if the head is considered upside down.

Where are the wrist flexors and extensors visible?

The wrist flexors and extensors are visible on the anterior and posterior surfaces of the forearm.

Describe the different orientations of muscle fascicles, give an example of each, and explain how a muscle's shape is related to its force of contractions and the range of movement the contraction produces.

There are five classes of muscle shapes as determined by the arrangement of its fascicles. The five classes are circular convergent, parallel, pennate, and fusiform. Within some of the classes, there are different patterns based on the shape of the particular muscle, including triangular, trapezium, rhomboidal, and quadrate. Circular muscles have their fascicles arranged in a circle around an opening and act as sphincters (constrictors) to close the opening. Examples of circular muscles are those that surround the eyes, called the orbicularis oculi, and those that surround the mouth, called the orbicularis iris. Convergent muscles have fascicles that join at one common tendon from a wide area, which creates muscles that are triangular in shape. Having fibers that lie side by side can result in muscles with less strength if the total number of fibers is low. However, if the fibers are long, these muscles can have a large range of motion. One example of convergent muscles with many long fibers is the pectoralis muscles of the chest. Parallel muscles, similarly to convergent muscles, have fascicles that are organized parallel to the long axis of the muscle, but they terminate on a flat tendon that spans large degree because the fascicles are in a direct line with the tendon; however, they contract with less force because fewer total fascicles are attached to the tendon. In addition to those show in table 10.1, the hyoid muscles in the neck are examples of parallel muscles. Pennate muscles have fascicles that emerge like the bars on a feather from a common tendon that runs the length of the entire muscle. The location of the fascicles relative to the tendon is the basis for different types of pennate muscles. In unipennate muscles, the fascicles are on one side of the tendon. Bipennate muscles have fascicles arranged on two sides of the tendon. Multipennate muscles are those with fascicles arranged at many places around the central tendon. The long tendons of pennate muscles can extend for some distance between a muscle belly and its insertion. The pennate arrangement allows a large number of fascicles to attach to a single tendon, with the force of contraction concentrated at the tendon. The muscles that extend the knee, as well as the deltoid muscle as shown in table 10.1, are multipennate muscles. Fusiform muscles are those whose fascicles run the length of the entire muscle and taper at each end to terminate at tendons. Fusiform muscles have a wider belly than the ends of muscle. Because their fibers are long, but are commonly numerous, these muscles generally tend to be stronger than other muscles with parallel fascicle arrangements. The biceps brachii, which flexes the forearm, is an example of a fusiform muscle.

FIGURE 10.2 Levers

There are three classes of levers depending on the location of joints.

How many classes of levers are there?

There are three classes, or types, of levers based on the location of the fulcrum, weight, and force along the lever.

How is the erector spinae subdivided?

These back muscles are very strong to maintain erect posture. The erector spinae group of muscles on each side of the back consists of three subgroups: (1) the iliocostalis, (2) the longissimus, and (3) the spinals. The longissmimus group accounts for most of the muscle mass in the lower back. The deepest muscles of the back attach between the spinous and transverse processes of individual vertabrae.

How are extrinsic foot muscles divided?

These extrinsic foot muscles are divided into three groups, each located within a separate compartment of the leg: anterior, posterior, and lateral.

What do head and neck muscles function in?

These function primarily in lateral head movement. Most of the flexors of the head and neck lie deep within the neck along the anterior margins of the vertebral bodies (not illustrated). Extension of the neck is accomplished by the posterior neck muscles that attach to the occipital bone and mastoid process of the temporal bone, functioning as a class I lever system. These muscles also rotate and laterally flex the neck.

What do the muscles of the calfs do?

These muscles plantar flex the foot. The deep muscles of the posterior compartment plantar flex and invert the foot and flex the toes.

What does the abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis longus and the extensor pollicis brevis form?

These tendons form the sides of a depression on the posterolateral side of the wrist called the "anatomical snuffbox". When snuff was in use, a small pinch could be placed into the anatomical snuffbox and inhaled through the nose.

What is unusual about the insertion (and sometimes the origin) of facial muscles?

They originate from the skull and fibrous structures and use an elastic tendon in order to radiate to the skin. These muscles are unique in the way that they are positioned surrounding facial openings, such as the ears, eyes, nose, and mouth, while also having to stretch across the entirety of the skull and neck.

What does the pectoralis major do?

This muscle flexes the extended shoulder and extends the flexed shoulder. Try these movements and notice the position and action of the muscle.

How many groups of muscles have been identified based on their location in the thigh?

What movements are produced by the three muscle compartments of the leg? Name the muscles of each compartment, and describe the movements for which each muscle is responsible.

Three groups of thigh muscles have been identified based on their location in the thigh and are organized into compartments: (1) The muscles of the anterior compartment flex the hip and/or extend the knee (2) the muscles of the medial compartment adduct the thigh and (3) the muscles of the posterior compartment extend the hip and flex the knee. Anterior Compartment -Quadriceps femoris Extends knee; rectus fermoris also flexes hip -Sartorius Flexes hip and knee; rotates thigh laterally and leg medially Medial Compartment -Adductor brevis Adducts and laterally rotates thigh; flexes hip -Adductor longus Adducts and laterally rotates thigh; flexes hip -Adductor magnus Adductor part: adducts thigh and flexes hip Hamstring part: extends hip and adducts thigh -Gracilis Adducts thigh; flexes knee -Pectineus Adducts thigh; flexes hip Posterior Compartment -Biceps femoris Flexes knee; laterally rotates leg; extends hip -Semimebranosus Flexes knee; medially rotates leg; tenses capsule of knee joint; extends hip -Semitendinosus Flexes knee; medially rotates leg; extends hip

How is it possible for thigh muscles to move both the thigh and the leg? Name the six muscles that can do this, and give their actions.

Contrast the movements produced by the extrinsic and intrinsic tongue muscles.

Tongue consists of a mass of intrinsic muscles, which are found entirely within the tongue, and are involved in changing the shape fo the tongue, and extrinsic muscles, which are outside of the tongue but attached to it, and help change the shape of and move the tongue.

Explain the difference between doing chin-ups with the forearm supinate and doing them with it pronated. The action of which muscle predominates in each type of chin-up? Which type is easier? Why?

When doing chin up with your arms pronated or supinated this causes you work different muscles of your body. When the arms are supinated you work your biceps and shoulders When the arms are pronated you work you Infraspinatus, Teres minor and teres major. Doing chin ups with your arms supinated is easier because you use your arm muscles which are stronger because of everyday use compared to back muscles that aren't often used.

What happens when muscles contract?

When muscles contract, the pull (P), or force, of muscle contraction is applied to the levers (bones), causing them to move a body part (the weight). In figure 10.2, you can see that the three classes of levers are classes I, II, and III.

What happens when the hyoid bone is fixed?

When the hyoid bone is fixed by the infra hyoid muscles so that the bone is stabilized from below, the supra hyoid muscles can help depress the mandible.

What does the iliopsoas flex?

When the thigh is fixed, the iliopsoas flexes the trunk on the thigh. For example, the iliopsoas does most of the work when a person does sit-ups.

What muscles elevate when we swallow?

When we swallow, muscles elevate the pharynx and larynx and then constrict the pharynx. Specifically, (1) the palatopharyngeus elevates the pharynx and (2) the salpingopharyngeus muscles then constrict the pharynx from superior to inferior, forcing food into the esophagus.

While driving to school on slick roads and taking on her cell phone, Rachel lost control of her car. The car left the road and hit a tree. Rachel was not wearing a seat belt, and her head slammed into the steering wheel, causing a fractured left mandible, as well as nerve damage. On examination, Rachel's tongue deviated toward the injured side of her face when she tried to stick out her tongue, and the left side of her tongue was paralyzed. The nerve damage affected which muscles of her tongue?
