Q

action lines of muscles

A

basically…

at the arm…
1. anterior = flexion
2. posterior = extension

at the leg…
1. anterior = extension
2. posterior = flexion

the shoulder joint is capable of
1. flexion / extension
2. abduction / adduction
3. medial / lateral rotation

54
Q

55
Q

compartments and sectional anatomy

A

muscle tissues are separated into compartments with deep fascia

inflammation of the deep fascia can result in compartment syndrome which is VERY painful

56
Q

muscles of the thigh

A

these muscles are the most powerful of the lower limb muscles

these muscles originate from the pelvis

these muscles include 4 groups…
1. gluteal group
2. lateral rotator group
3. adductor group
4. iliopsoas group

57
Q

the gluteal group

A

all muscles of this group don’t go to a bone, they insert at the ITB

  1. gluteus maximus
  2. gluteus medius
  3. gluteus minimus
  4. tensor fasciae latae
58
Q

gluteus medius, minimus and tensor fasciae latae

A

all abduct at the hip

59
Q

gluteus maximus

A

posterior hip extension

60
Q

the lateral rotator group

A
  1. obturators
  2. piriformis
  3. gemeli
  4. quadratus femoris
61
Q

quadratus femoris

A

lateral hip rotation

62
Q

piriformis, gemeli, obturators

A

all laterally rotate the hip and cause abduction of the hip

63
Q

the adductor group

A
  1. adductor brevis, longus, magnus
  2. pectineus
  3. gracilis
64
Q

adductor brevis, longus and magnus

A

all three adduct the hip, the longus muscles causes medial rotation

65
Q

pectineus

A

hip flexion and adduction

66
Q

gracilis

A

knee flexion and medial rotation

hip adduction and medial rotation

67
Q

ITB

A

iliotibial tract

helps stabilize the lower leg when standing on one leg, on the lateral side of the leg

68
Q

iliopsoas group

A
  1. iliacus
  2. psoas major
69
Q

iliacus and psoas major

A

both flex the hip (forward motion)

70
Q

sartorius

A

named after the tailor’s position one can assume

it causes hip and knee flexion, and lateral rotation of the hip

71
Q

knee extensors

A

these muscles help extend the knee (stand straight), they are called the quadriceps femoris

all start with vastus…
1. intermedius
2. lateralis
3. medialis

  1. rectus femoris
72
Q

vastus intermedius, lateralis and medialis

A

all extend the leg, all vastus muscles end at the quadriceps tendon

73
Q

rectus femoris

A

extends the leg and flexes the hip

74
Q

flexors of the knee

A

these muscles help flex (bend) the knee (hamstrings)

  2. semimembranosus
  3. semitendinosus
75
Q

biceps femoris, semimembranosus, semitendinosus

A

all three muscles flex the leg

the biceps femoris helps with hip extension too

76
Q

biceps femoris heads

A

the long head is on the lateral side and the short head is on the medial side

77
Q

membranosus vs tendinosus

A

the semimembranosus has a tendon that looks like a membrane

the semitendinosus has a tendon that looks cylindrical

78
Q

popliteus

A

flexes the leg, sits within the popliteal fossa of the back of the leg

extrinsic foot muscles originate from the distal ends of the tibia, fibula or femur

intrinsic foot muscles start and end on the foot
