  • Front
  • Back

two main flexors in the compartment of the arm

biceps brachii (inserts into the radius on thumb side of forearm), brachialis (from humerus into the ulna)

superficial muscles in forearm (anterior) work on the

wrist

deep muscles in the forearm (anterior) work on the

fingers

hypothenar

pinky side of hand 


Include abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi, opponens digiti minimi


 


Help to abduct fingers, flex fingers,

pinky side of hand


Include abductor digiti minimi, flexor digiti minimi, opponens digiti minimi



Help to abduct fingers, flex fingers,

thenar

thumb side of hand 


abductor pollicis brevis


flexor pollics brevis


opponens pollicis


 


Abducts and flexes thumb

thumb side of hand


abductor pollicis brevis


flexor pollics brevis


opponens pollicis



Abducts and flexes thumb

extensors of arm are in the _____ compartment

posterior

triceps

posterior. extension at elbow joint

posterior. extension at elbow joint

all nerves innervating upper limb come from

brachio plexus

four terminal nerves of brachioplexus and what they innervate

musculocutaneous nerve (anterior compartment of arm, i.e. biceps and brachialis), median nerve (most muscles in anterior compartment of forearm plus the thenar muscles (thumb)), ulnar nerve (1.5 muscles in forearm and all other muscles in hand that aren't innervated by median nerve), radial nerve (posterior compartment of arm and forearm (extensors in arm))

intercostal muscles

between the ribs. three layers. include external intercostal, inner intercostal, innermost intercostal.

abdominal muscles

external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis


side muscles

what makes up "six pack abs"

rectus abdominis

arm bones

humerus, radius, ulna

leg bones

femur, tibia, fibula

anterior muscles in leg are

extensors

posterior muscles in leg are

flexors (opposite than arms because the leg is rotated 180 degrees)

sartorius muscle

crosses thigh and inserts into the tibia on the medial side. Landmark between anterior and medial thigh.

anterior thigh includes

quadriceps which include the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, and vastus medialis

medial thigh muscles include

adductor muscle group which includes the pectineus, adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, and gracilis

what two muscles make up the hip

iliacus and psoas major

lifting thigh up works what muscle

illeus soleus

sartorius muscle allows

lateral rotation at the thigh. (crossing your leg) Hip flexion, knee flexion, lateral rotation

quadricep muscles form tendon that

envelop the patella (knee cap) and then extend onward to form the patella tendon

quadricep muscles do what action

kicking or things that bend the knee (kicking soccer ball movement). knee extension. also can cause hip flexion

thigh adductors do what

adduct the thigh

iliotibial tract is in what compartment

lateral compartment.

what muscle is found in the iliotibial tract and what action does it do

tensor fascia latae, abducts leg at hip joint, locks the knee by pushing on tibia so it rests above the femur

posterior part of thigh

gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus, gluteus medius, hamstring muscles (semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris)

gluteus maximus muscle allows

extension at hip joint (most powerful extensor at hip joint), also allows lateral rotation of thigh

gluteus medius and gluteus minimus

analogous to rotators cuff. allow for abduction at high joint and medial rotation

hamstrings include

semitendinosus, semimembranosus, biceps femoris

hamstring muscles do what

extension at hip joint and flexion at knee joint. necessary for running

anterior leg compartments

extensor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus

lateral leg compartments

fibularis longus and fibularis brevis

posterior leg compartments

gastrocnemius, soleus (deep to gastrocnemius), flexor digitorum longus, tibialis posterior, flexor hallucis longus

extensor digitorum longus, tibialis anterior, extensor hallucis longus are important for

dorsiflexion, inversion, toe extension.

fibularis longus and fibularis brevis are important for

plantarflexion and eversion

gastrocnemius and soleus are important for

plantar flexion of foot, gastrocnemius also does knee flexion

gastrocnemius and soleus form the _______ at the calcaneal bone

achilles tendon

superficial posterior compartment of leg contains

gastrocnemius and soleus

deep posterior leg muscles in posterior compartment

flexor digitorum longus, tibialis posterior, flexor hallucis longus

flexor digitorum longus, tibialis posterior, and flexor hallucis longus do what

plantar flexion, inversion, toe flexion

femoral nerve innervates

muscles in anterior thigh

obturator nerve innervates

all muscles in medial thigh (does adduction of thigh)

sciatic nerve innervates

posterior thigh (hamstring) divides into common fibular and tibial nerve

tibial nerve innervates

muscles of posterior compartment of leg and of foot

common fibular nerve innervates

muscles in anterior/ lateral compartments of let
