1.2.2
Distinguish between the different types of muscle
1.2.1
What are the characteristics of Muscle?
Excitability is the ability to respond to a stimulus, which may be delivered from a motor neuron or hormone
Contractility is the ability of muscle cells to forcefully shorten
Extensibility - they can be stretched.
Elasticity - they return to normal length after stretching.
1.2.4
Define the terms origin and insertion of muscles.
- The origin is where the tendon of the muscle joins the stationary bone(s). Usually more proximal.
- The insertion is where the tendon of the muscle joins the moving bone(s). Usually more distal.
1.2.3
Annotate the structure of skeletal muscle.
Name the muscle (yellow), the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
Triceps Brachii
Movement. Elbow extension (agonist)
Elbow flexion (antagonist)
Origin: Scapula/ Humerus
Insertion: Ulna
Name the muscle below, and the joint movement it is responsible for.
Include its origin and insertion.
Bicep Brachii
Movement: Elbow flexion. (agonist)
Elbow extension (antagionsit)
Origin: Scapular
Insertion: Radius and Ulna
Name the muscle, the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
Latissimus Dorsi

Movement: Adduction, extension. (agonist)
Abduction, flexion (antagonist)
Origin. Thoracic vertebrae
Insertion: Humerus.
Name the muscle, the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
iliopsoas
Movement.
Hip flexion (agonist)
Hip extension (antagonist)
Origin. Lumbar vertebrae
Insertion. Femur.
Name the muscle, the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
Trapezius
Movement: Shoulder elevation (agonist)
Shoulder depression (antagonist)
Origin. the base of the skull (cervical vertebrae)
Insertion: Clavicle & scapula.
Name the 4 muscles that make up the quadriceps
The quadriceps femoris is a hip flexor and a knee extensor. It consists of four individual muscles; three vastus muscles and the rectus femoris.
It is located in the anterior compartment of the thigh.
Rectus femoris
Vastus lateralis
Vastus medialis
Vastus intermedius
Name the 3 muscles of the hamstrings.
The three major muscles of the hamstrings are the:
biceps femoris
semimembranosus
semitendinosus
Name the muscles on the posterior aspect of the lower leg.
(from the knee down)
Gastrocnemius
Soleus (underneath the gastrocnemius)
Achilles tendon
Name the muscle, the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
Rectus Abdominis
Movement: Flexion of the spine
Origin: Pubis
Insertion: Sternum
Name the muscle, the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
External Obliques
Movement: Lateral trunk flexion
Origin: lower Ribs
Insertion: Ilium
Name the muscle, the joint it moves, and its origin and insertion.
Erector Spinae
Movement: Trunk extension
Origin: Thoracic Vertebrae, ilium
Insertion: Ribs and Thoracic vertebrae, Sacral vertebrae
