what muscles make up the quadriceps femoris group
rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis, vastus intermedius
peroneous longus
everts foot
tibilias anterior
dorsiflexes and inverts foot
flexor digitorum longus
flexes toes
extensor digitorum longus
extends toes
occipitalis
moves scalp backward
sternocleidomastoid
turns head to the side; flexes neck and head, tilting head and turning neck
trapezius

muscles of the hamstring group
semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris
semitendinosus
flexes the leg and extends the thigh
semimembranosus
flexes the leg and extends the thigh
biceps femoris
flexes the leg and extends the thigh
gastrocnemius
plantar flexes the foot (tiptoe), plantar flexion of leg and the knee joint
osteoporosis
condition characterized by loss of bone density, associated with levels of sex hormones and diet
osteoarthritis
form of degenerative joint disease which is the result of the loss of cartilage in the synovial joint
rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
autoimmune disease that causes inflammation of the joints
fibromyalgia
chronic, widespread pain of the muscles in the neck, shoulders, back and hips. Cause is unknown
muscular dystrophy (MD)
disease that causes weakening of the muscles, has a strong genetic component. It is X- linked disorder affecting more males than females
how many muscles are in the body
about 604
what are the functions of the muscular system
create movement, move food through digestive system, move blood through the body, produce heat, protect inner organs
three muscle types
skeletal, cardiac, smooth
skeletal muscle
voluntary, striated, multinucleated
cardiac muscle
involuntary, striated, has intercalated discs, single nucleated
smooth mucles
involuntary, non-striated, spindle shaped cells
