Origin
The point at which a muscle's tendon attaches to the more stationary bone
Insertion
The point at which a muscle's tendon attaches to the moveable bone
Belly
The largest part of the muscle, which actually contains the muscle cells
fulcrum
a fixed point
A lever
consists of a rigid bar that rotates around a fixed point called the fulcrum.
effort
an applied force
Synergistic
muscles working in groups for a common action
Antagonistic
muscles that work in opposite pairs
prime mover
When one muscle is more important than the others in creating that motion.
The function of a lever is to change
1. the direction of an applied force
2. the distance and speed of movement produced by an applied force
3. the effective strength of an applied force
What are the 3 classes of levers?
1st class
2nd class
3rd class
Describe a 1st class lever.
1.seesaw
2.the fulcrum is in the center, between the applied force and the resistance
Describe a 2nd class lever.
1.wheelbarrow
2.the resistance is in the center, between the applied force and the fulcrum
3.a small force can move a large weight
Describe a 3rd class lever.
1. the most common levers in the body
2. the applied force is in the center, between the resistance and the fulcrum
3. requires a greater force to move a smaller resistance, but maximizes speed and distance traveled
What are the 7 items that determine muscle names?
1. size
2. shape
3. location
4. direction of muscle fiber
5. attachments
6. # of attachments
7. action produced
What does bi, tri and quad mean?
2, 3 and 4

(long)
longissimus
(longest)
teres
(long and round)
brevis
(short)
magnus
(large)

dorsi
the back
anterior
in front of
flexion
decreases the angle at a joint
extension
increases the angle at a joint
adduction
pulls the limb toward the midline
abduction
pulls the limb away from the midline
pronation
turning the palm downward
supination
turning the palm upward
Axial muscles
position the head and spinal column, and move the rib cage
Appendicular muscles
support the pectoral and pelvic girdles, and the limbs.
sternocleidomastoid
rotate and flex the head
occipitofrontalis
elevate the eyebrows and wrinkle the forehead
orbicularis oculi
circles the orbit and is used to close the eye, as in winking
orbicularis oris
surrounds the lips and is used to purse them
buccinator
or cheek muscle, makes rapid changes in the volume of the oral cavity.
zygomaticus major
elevates and draws the corner of the mouth laterally
zygomaticus minor
elevates the upper lip
platysma
pulls the corners of the mouth down into a frown
Mastication
The process of chewing
temporalis
muscle elevates the mandible
masseter
elevates the mandible, and it can be used to protract the mandible (which means to push the lower jaw forward).
lateral pterygoid
depresses (lowers) the mandible. Thus, it is used to open the mouth.
medial pterygoid
elevates the mandible (along with the masseter and temporalis) in order to close the mouth.
Pectoralis major
flexes arm medially (pull arms forward and together)
Sternocleidomastoid
flexion of head toward chest (both contracted)
rotation/abduction of head (as antagonists)
Deltoid
abduction of humerus
Pectoralis minor
scapula fixator
Trapezius
elevates pectoral girdle
(“shoulder shrug”)
Rectus abdominis
tenses abdominal wall
flexes the vertebral column
External Oblique
flexes the vertebral column but can also rotate it
Internal Oblique
flexes the vertebral column but can also rotate it
Transversus abdominis
tenses abdominal wall does not act on the vertebral column
Latissimus dorsi
adduction of humerus
Deltoid
abduction of humerus
Supraspinatus
Rotates the arm in the shoulder joint
(rotator cuff muscle)
Infraspinatus
Rotates the arm in the shoulder joint
(rotator cuff muscle)
Teres minor/major
Rotates the arm in the shoulder joint
(rotator cuff muscle)
Subscapularis
Rotates the arm in the shoulder joint
(rotator cuff muscle)
Levator scapulae
scapula elevation and downward rotation
