Anterior Cadaver Muscles 1 Flashcards
the muscle attachment that remains mostly stationary
origin
the muscle attachment that moves
insertion
a collagen band that connects muscle to bone
tendon
a broad tendinous sheet for muscle attachment
aponeurosis
a slender band of collagen fibers for muscle attachment; a “seam”
raphe
a muscle that is primarily responsible for a particular action
primer mover
a muscle that assists a prime mover in performing an action
synergist
a type of synergist that prevents undesirable movement
fixator
a muscle that opposes a prime mover, be performing the opposite action
antagonist
decreasing the angle between two bones
flexion
increasing the angle between two bones
extension
moving an appendage in the frontal plane away from the midline
abduction
moving an appendage in the frontal plane towards the midline
adduction
moving an appendage in the frontal plane away from the midline when the arm or thigh are already flexed and perpendicular to the body
horizontal abduction/extension
moving an appendage in the horizontal plane towards the midline, as when the arm or thigh are already abducted and perpendicular to the body
horizontal adduction/flexion
rotating an appendage such that the anterior structures face more medially
medial rotation
rotating an appendage such that the anterior structures face more laterally
lateral rotation
moving the distal end of an appendage in a circle, without rotation
circumduction
lifting the anterior part of the foot
dorsiflexion
lowering the anterior part of the foot
plantar flexion
lifting the medial edge of the foot
inversion
lifting the outside edge of the foot
eversion
to thrust forward, or move anteriorly (i.e. jutting of chin)
protraction
to move posteriorly
retraction
rotating the inferior angle of the scapula laterally, so that the glenoid cavity is turned upward
upward rotation
rotating the inferior angle of the scapula medially, so that the glenoid cavity is turned downward
downward rotation
moving upward
elevation
moving downward
depression
rotating the forearm laterally, such that the forearm and palm face anteriorly
supination
rotating the forearm medially, such that the forearm and palm face posteriorly
pronation
moving the thumb to face the little finger
opposition
moving an opposed thumb back into anatomical position
reposition
