Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles that move the arm at the shoulder joint: Deltoid

A

Origins: Anterior Head = clavicle, lateral head = acromion of scapula, posterior head = spine of scapula Insertion: Deltoid Tuberosity of humerus Actions: Anterior head = raises arm anteriorly (flexion of arm at shoulder joint) Lateral Head = abduct arm at shoulder joint Posterior Head = raise arm posteriorly (extension of arm at shoulder joint)

69
Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles that move the arm at the shoulder joint: Pectoralis Major

A

Origin: Clavicle, Sternum, and costal cartilages of ribs 2-6 Insertion: Greater Tubercle and Intertubercular groove of humerus Action: Adducts and medially rotates arm at shoulder joint

70
Q

Name the action: Subscapularis

A

Action: Medially rotates arm

71
Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles that move the abdominal wall: Rectus Abdominus

A

Origin: Superior Aspect of Pubic bones and pubic symphysis Insertion: Xiphoid process and costal cartilages of ribs 5-7 Action: Flexes vertebral column to draw chest anteriorly and inferiorly (as in performing sit-ups)

72
Q

Name the Action: External Intercostals

A

raise ribs at inhalation, increasing size of thoracic cavity (muscles used in breathing)

73
Q

Name the Action: Internal Intercostals

A

depresses ribs at exhalation, decreasing size of thoracic cavity (muscles used in breathing)

74
Q

Describe and Name the action: Diaphragm

A

The diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle inside the ventral body cavity. It separates the thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities, with openings in the muscle for esophagus, aorta, and vena cava. Action: contraction of the diaphragm causes it to descend toward the abdomen (the dome flattens), which expands the size of the thoracic cavity resulting in inhalation; relaxation cuases it to resume its dome shape, which decreases the size of the thoracic cavity, resulting in exhalation.

Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles of the Thigh: Quadriceps

A

Quadriceps: Rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius. Origin: Lateral aspect of femur (except for rectus femoris, orgin = anterior aspect of ilium) Insertion: Patella (via tendon of quadriceps femoris) Action: extends the lef at the knee (acting alone, the rectus femoris flexes the thigh anteriorly at the hip)

144
Q

Name the Action: Sartorius

A

flexes the leg at the knee, flexion of the thigh at the hip, and lateral rotation of the lef (as in swuatting with knees pointed laterally)

145
Q

Name the action: Gracilis

A

Adducts and medially rotates thigh

146
Q

Name the action: Gluteus maximus

A

Extends the thigh posteriorly at the hip, lateral rotation of thigh

147
Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles of the Thigh: Hamstrings

A

Hamstrings = biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimemranosus (semimembranosus is deep to semitendinosus, and biceps femoris is lateral to semimembranosus and semitendinosus) Origin: Ischial Tuberosity Insertion: Proximal End of the Tibia Action: Flexes the lef at the knee and extends thigh posteriorly at the hip

161
Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles of the Lower Leg and Foot: Tibialis Anterior

A

Origins: lateral condyle, body of tibia Insertions: 1st metatarsal, medial cuneiform Actions: Dorsiflexes and inverts foot. Resists backward tipping of body. Helps support arch of foot.

162
Q

Name the action: Extensor Hallucis Longus

A

Halucis = big toe Action: Extends big toe. Dorsiflexes foot.

163
Q

Name the Action: Extensor digitorum longus

A

Extends toes. Dorsiflexes foot. Tautens plantar aponeurosis.

164
Q

Name the Action: Fibularis (peroneus) longus

A

Plantar flexes and everts foot

165
Q

Name the Origin, Insertion, and Action. Muscles of the Lower Leg and Foot: Gastrocnemius

A

Origin: Medial and lateral condyle of femur Insertion: Calcaneus (cia the calcanel or Achilles tendon) Action: Extends foot at ankle (plantar flexion, as in pointing the toes)

166
Q

Name the Action and location: Soleus

A

Location: Deep to the gastrocnemius Action: Plantar Flexes foot

167
Q

Name the action: Pronator Teres

A

Pronator teres pronates the forearm, turning the hand posteriorly. If the elbow is flexed to a right angle, then pronator teres will turn the hand so that the palm faces inferiorly. It is assisted in this action by pronator quadratus.

168
Q

Name the action: Supinator

A

supinator brings the hand into the supinated position. In contrast to the biceps brachii, it is able to do this in all positions of elbow flexion and extension. [1]
