Muscles Lab Flashcards
abductor pollicis longus (2)
extends thumb, adbucts wrist
biceps brachii (2)
origin & insertion
flexes elbow joint, supinate forearm (twist and pulling action)
origin= glenoid cavity
insertion = radial tuberosity
brachialis (1)
major forearm flexor (PM)
brachioradialis
origin & insertion
forearm flexion at elbow (synergist)
origin = lateral ridge of humerus
insertion = styloid process of radius
deltoid
origin & insertion
abducts arm (PM) all fibers
origin = spine of scapula
insertion = Deltoid tuberosity of humerus
extensor carpi radialis longus (2)
extends, abducts wrist
extensor digitorium (2)
extends fingers (PM), extends wrist
extensor carpi ulnaris
origin & insertions
extends, adducts wrist
origin = posterior border ulna
insertion = metacarpal 5
flexor carpi radialis
origin & insertions
powerful wrist flexor (PM), abducts hand
origin = medial epicondyle of humerus insertion = Base of metacarpal II and III
flexor carpi ulnarius
origins & insertions
powerful wrist flexor (PM), abducts hand
origin = medial epicondyle humerus posterior side ulna
insertion = metacarpal 5 pisiform hamate
flexor digitorium superficiales
flexes wrist & middle phalanges of fingers 1-5
palmaris longus
weak wrist flexor
pectoralis major
origins & insertions
flexes arm (PM), rotates medially (climbing, throwing, pushing muscle)
origins = clavicle
insertion = intertubercular sulcus of humerus
pronator teres
origins & insertions
pronates forearm
origin = coronoid process of ulna insertion = mid radius
teres major
extends, abducts, & medially rotate humerus
triceps brachii (2)
origin & insertion
extends forearm at elbow (PM), stabilizes shoulder joint
origin = radial groove
insertion = olecranon process ulna
rotator cuff
stabilizes shoulder joint by holding head of humerus in joint
What are the 4 rotator cuff muscles?
subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor
infraspinatus origins & insertions
origin = infraspinous fossa
insertions = greater tubercle of humerus
supraspinatus origins & insertions
origin = supraspinous fossa insertion = greater tubercle of humerus
subscapularis origins & insertions
origins = subscapularis fossa insertion = greater tubercle of humerus
teres minor origins & insertions
origin = lateral margin of scapula insertion = greater tubercle of humerus
