Q

MUSCLE MOVEMENT

A

Muscles can only pull/contract; they cannot push/expand. Generally the insertion (distal end) moves toward the origin (proximal end).

Q

PRIME MOVERS

A

a.k.a. “Agonist Muscles;” provide most of the force; .e.g. the biceps brachii in elbow flexion

Q

ANTAGONISTS

A

opposing muscles; reverse/oppose; they do the opposite movement; e.g. triceps brachii oppose biceps brachii.

Q

SYNERGISTS

A

aid the prime mover in its moving of the joint and reduce extra movements; assist a particular movement and stabilizes the joint; e.g. brachioradialis in elbow flexion.

Q

-NAMING SKELETAL MUSCLES-

A

Named for 1) Location (intercostal-between ribs), 2) Shape (deltoid from triangular delta; trapezius; rhomboid) 3) Size (longs, brevis), 4) Direction (Rectus Femoris - along the long axis of femur), 5) Number of Origins (biceps, triceps), 6) Location of Attachments (sternocleidomastoid: origin at sternum & clavicle insertion at mastoid process), and 7) Action (flexor, supinator)
