Lab 8 Flashcards
Abduction
refers to movement of a bone away from the midline of the body
Adduction
refers to movement toward the midline of the body
Dorsiflexion
involves bending of the foot in the direction of the upper surface (toes up) e.g. ankle flexion
Plantarflexion
involves bending the foot in the direction of the sole (toes down)
e.g. ankle extension
Eversion
movement of the sole of the foot laterally
Inversion
is the movement of the sole of the foot medially
Extension
increases the angle between articulating bones e.g. fingers. When a joint can move forwards or backwards, extension refers to the movement in the posterior* direction (hip, shoulder, neck *except the knee)
flexion
decreases the angle between the articulating bones e.g. fingers. When a joint can move forwards or backwards, flexion refers to the movement in the anterior* direction (hip, shoulder, neck *except the knee)
Rotation
where a bone moves in a single plane around its longitudinal axis (internal or external e.g. shoulder joint)
Supination
is a movement of the forearm in which the palm of the hand is turned anteriorly Hint: “thumbs up = S for super”
Pronation
is a movement of the forearm in which the palm is turned posteriorly. Hint: “thumbs down = P for pants”
Masseter
origin: zygomatic arch and maxilla
insertion: Mandible
Function: elevate mandible in chewing
Trapezius
Origin: occipital, 7th cervical, and all thoracic
insertion: clavicle and scapula
function: extends head and moves/stabilizes scapula
Sternocleidomastoid
origin: manubrium and clavicle
insertion: the mastoid process of the temporal bone
function: flexes the head puls right and left
Deltoid
Origin: clavicle and scapula
insertion: deltoid tuberosity
function: abducts the arm
Serratus anterior
origin: ribs 1-8 (true ribs)
insertion: scapula
function: rotate scapula upward/laterally
pectoralis major
origin: clavicle, sternum, and costal cartilages
insertion: lateral edge of the intertubercle sulcus
function: flexes shoulder medially, adducts, and rotates
Latissimus Dorsi
origin: spinous process of T-vertebrae and ribs 8-12
insertion: intertubercle sulcus
Function: extension, adduction, medial rotation of shoulder, extension and lateral flexion of the lumbar spine
internal intercostals
Function: forced expiration
external intercostals
Function: expand chest cavity during inspiration
Diaphragm
Function: increase pressure on the abdominal cavity
external oblique
origin: lower 8 ribs
insertion: iliac crest
function: compresses the abdomen, bends the vertebral column laterally
