Lab Practical 1 Flashcards
Extension
Makes you longer/straighter
Flexion
Makes you smaller, like the fetal position
Adduction
Towards the body
Abduction
Away from the body
Supination
Hands facing up
Pronation
Hands facing down
Arm vs. Forearm
The forearm is more distal than the arm
Thigh vs. Leg
The leg is more distal than the thigh
Origin
Remains relatively fixed during muscle contraction
Insertion
Movable part of a muscle
Sternocleidomastoid
Region: head and neck (anterior)
Origin: medial portion of the clavicle, manubrium of the sternum
Insertion: mastoid process of the temporal bone
Joint action: (head and neck) flexion and rotation
Pectoralis major
Region: thorax (anterior)
Origin: medial clavicle, sternum, costal cartilage of ribs 1-6, aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique
Insertion: intertubercular sulcus of humerus
Joint action: (arm) adduction, medial rotation, flexion
External intercostals
Region: thorax (anterior)
Origin: inferior border of ribs 1-11
Insertion: superior border of ribs 2-12
Joint action: (ribs) elevation during inhalation
Internal intercostals
Region: thorax (anterior)
Origin: inferior border of ribs 1-11
Insertion: superior border of ribs 2-12
Joint action: (ribs) depression during forced exhalation
Pectoralis minor
Region: thorax (anterior)
Origin: ribs 3-5
Insertion: scapula (coracoid process)
Joint action: (scapula) lateral rotation
Trapezius
Region: back (posterior)
Origin: occipital bone, spinous process of C7 and T1-T12
Insertion: Clavicle (lateral) and scapula (spine and acromion)
Joint action: (scapula) elevation, medial rotation, retraction, depression
Latissimus dorsi
Region: back (posterior)
Origin: sacral and lumbar spines, iliac crest, ribs 9-12, spinous processes of T6-T12, inferior angle of scapula
Insertion: humerus (floor of intertubercular sulcus)
Joint action: (arm) adduction, extension, medial rotation
Levator scapulae
Region: back (posterior)
Origin: transverse processes of C1-C4
Insertion: superior angle of scapula, medial border of scapula
Joint action: (scapula) elevation, shrugging, (neck) lateral flexion (when scapula fixed)
Rhomboid muscles (major and minor)
Region: back (posterior)
Origin: spinous processes of C7-T5
Insertion: scapula (medial border)
Joint action: (scapula) retraction, elevation of scapula
Deltoid
Region: shoulder and arm (anterior)
Origin: lateral 1/3 of clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula
Insertion: humerus (deltoid tuberosity)
Joint action: anterior- flexion and medial rotation of arm, lateral- abduction of arm, posterior- extension and lateral rotation of arm
Biceps brachii
Region: shoulder and arm (anterior)
Origin: long head: scapula (supraglenoid tubercle), short head: scapula (coracoid process)
Insertion: tendon: radius (tuberosity), aponeurosis: deep fascia (proximal medial forearm)
Joint action: (forearm) supination, flexion, (arm) flexion
Brachialis
Region: shoulder and arm (anterior)
Origin: anterior distal shaft of humerus
Insertion: tuberosity of ulna
Joint action: (forearm) flexion
Subscapularis
Region: shoulder and arm (anterior)
Origin: subscapular fossa
Insertion: humerus (lesser tubercle)
Joint action: (arm) medial rotation
