eversion

the straightening of a limb/joint

extension

Posterior fibers: ____ and ____ rotation

fasciculi

the bending of a limb/joint:

flexion

Anterior Fibers: _____ and _____ rotation

flexion and medial

rotating a joint TOWARDS the midline of the body

internal rotation

Originate from the scapula and/or clavicle, and attach to the humerus:

intrinsic

movement of the sole of the foot TOWARDS the midline of the body

inversion

infraspinatus: ____ rotates the arm

laterally

teres minor: ____ rotates the arm

laterally

This muscle extends, adducts and medially rotates the upper limb:

latissimus dorsi

What muscles make up the deep layer:

levator scapula, rhomboid major, rhomboid minor

levator scapulae (elevates the scapula)

Middle fibers: the ____ ____ of the arm

major abductor

subscapularis: ____ rotates the arm

medially

the flexion and extension of 1 or more muscles (give example)

opposition (bicep curl; when you flex your bicep, your tricep extends)

the connective tissue sheath covering each fasciculus

perimysium

movement of the foot in a downward motion away from the body

plantar flexion

Intrinsic muscles are best visualized on the _____ aspect of the shoulder:

posterior

The rotator cuff is best visualized on the _____ aspect of the shoulder

posterior

Both rhomboid minor and major are best visualized _____:

posteriorly

the rotary movement meaning downward

movement of the body part posteriorly

retraction

Retracts and rotates the scapula:

rhomboid major

Retracts and rotates the scapula (sits just anterior to ___ _____)

rhomboid minor

The ____ _____ muscles are a group of ____ muscles that originate from the scapula and attach to the humeral head:

rotator cuff / 4 muscles

the rotary movement meaning upward

supination

Adducts and extends at the shoulder, and medially rotates the arm:

teres major

What is the function/action of the muscular system:

to produce body movement, heat and maintain posture
