“Prayer” muscles
Trunk muscles include
- Those that move the vertebral column
- Anterior thorax muscles, which move the ribs, head and arms
- Muscles of the abdominal wall, which help to move the vertebral column and most important, form the muscular “natural girdle” of the abdominal body wall.
Types of Anterior Muscles
Pectoralis Major
Intercostal Muscles
Pectoralis Major
Large fan shaped muscle covering the upper part of the chest.
Forms the anterior wall of the axilla
Acts to adduct and flex the arm

flexes the spine laterally
Acting together each muscle of Quadratus Lumborum
extend the lumbar spine

Biceps Branchii
Lies deep to the biceps muscle and is as important as the biceps in elbow flexion
Branchiallis
Brachialis lists the
ulna as the biceps lifts the radius

Where does Brachioradialis reside?
Mainly in the forearm

Antagonist of the biceps brachii
Triceps Brachii
Triceps Brachii is called the
“Boxer’s” muscle because it can deliver a straight arm knockout punch
Muscles that act on the lower limb cause movement at the
hip, knee and foot joints
Largest, strongest muscles in the body and are specialized for walking and balancing the body
Lower limb

ankle and foor

Gluteus Medius
Gluteus Medius is an important site for giving
intramuscular injections
Medial part of each buttock overlies the large
sciatic nerve (area must be avoided)
Safe place for an intramuscular injection
Superolateral quadrant then overlies the gluteus medius
Prime mover of hip flexion
Iliopsoas
Function of Iliopsoas
Acts to keep the upper body from falling backward when we are standing erect
What forms the muscle mass at the medial side of each thigh
Adductor Muscles
Muscles causing movement at the Knee Joint
Hamstring Group
Sartorius
Quadriceps Group
The muscles forming the muscle mass of the posterior thigh are the
hamstrings
Hamstring group consists of 3 muscles
Biceps femoris
Semimembranosus
Semitendinosus
Biceps femoris, Semimembranosus,Semitendinosus are the
prime movers of the thigh extension and knee flexion
Most superficial muscle of the thigh
Sartorius
Sartorius is a
weak thigh flexor
Sartorius is also called and why?
tailor’s muscle because it acts as a synergist to bring about the cross-legged position in which old time tailors are often showed
Quadriceps Group consists of 4 muscles
Rectus femoris
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
Rectus Vastus muscles originate from the
femur
Rectus femoris originates on the
pelvis
All 4 muscles of Quadriceps Group onsert into the tibial tuberosity via the
patellar ligament
Crosses 2 joint, hip and knee
Rectus femoris
Rectus femoris help to
flex the hip
Vastus lateralis and Rectus femoris are sometimes used as
intramuscular injection sites, in infants who have poorly developed gluteus muscles
Muscles causing movement at the ankle and foot
Tibialis Anterior Extensor Digitarum Longus Fibularis Muscles Gastrocnemius Soleus
Superficial muscle on the anterior leg
Tibialis anterior
Tibialis anterior acts to
dorsiflex and invert the foot

Extensor Digitorum Longus
3 fibularis muscles
longus
brevis
tertius
Where are the 3 fibularis muscles found?
lateral part of the leg
Flexes and everts the foot
Fibularis Muscles as a whole
2 bellied muscle that forms the curved calf of the posterior leg
Gastrocnemius
Prime mover for plantar flexion of the foot
Gastrocnemius
Gastrocnemius is also called the
toe dancer’s muscle
Deep to the Gastrocnemius os the
soleus muscle
soleus muscle is a
strong plantar flexor of the foot
Most of the superficial muscles are in
anterior and posterior views of the body
In the developing embryo the muscular system is laid down in
segments and each segment is invaded by nerves
The muscles of the thoracic and lumbar regions become very extensive because
they must cover and move the bones of the limbs
First movements of the fetus
the quickening, occurs by the 16th week of pregnancy
Very few congenital muscular problems occur except for
Muscular dystrophy
What is Muscular dystrophy?
a group of inherited muscle-destroying diseases that affect specific muscle groups
The most common and serious form for muscular dystrophy is
Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy
Expressed especially in boys
Protein that helps maintain the sarcolemma
dystrophin
One rare disease that can affect muscles during adulthood is
myasthenia gravis, disease characterized by drooping of the upper eyelids, difficulty in swallowing and talking and generalized muscle weakness and fatigability.
