A shallow, wide, or elongated depression on the surface of a bone



Fossa

A depression on the edge of a bone



Notch

A tunnel which penetrates a bone



Canal

A large opening that gives way to a canal



Meatus

An often rounded hole which pierces a bone



Foramen

Movement back-and-forth or side-to-side, with no rotation or angular motion



Gliding

Movement which draws bones toward each other, or decreases the angle of the joint to the bone



Flexion

Movement which separates bones from one another, or increases the angle of the joint to the bone



Extension

Moving part of the body away from the midline of body. (For fingers and toes it is relative to midline of hand or foot)



Abduction

Moving a part toward the midline of the body



Adduction

The movement of a bone around its own axis, with no other simultaneous motion



Rotation

Motion where the proximal end of a bone is stable and the distal end moves in the form of a cone



Circumduction

A motion of the forearm which turns the palm backward or downward from the elbow. It does not rotate the humerus.



Pronation

A motion of the forearm which turns palm forward or upward from the elbow. It does not rotate the humerus.



Supination

Moves sole of foot inward towards the opposite foot at the ankle



Inversion

Moves the sole outward at ankle away from the other foot



Eversion

Flexing the foot upward at the ankle



Dorsiflexion

Flexing the foot downward at the ankle



Plantar Flexion

Movement of a bone forward or anteriorly parallel to the ground



Protraction

Movement of a bone backward or posteriorly parallel to the ground



Retraction



A movement that raises a bone vertically, or upward



Elevation

A movement that lowers a bone vertically



Depression

Parallel to the long axis of the muscle. They are generally long strap like muscles that can generate much force. The strongest of these muscles are fusiform in shape (wide in the middle and tapered at each end)



Parallel

Fan-like muscles. The fascicles are broad at the origin and taper to a narrow insertion. This arrangement functions to concentrate the force of the muscle contraction into a small area.



Convergent

The fascicles are attached to the tendon in a feather-like manner, The tendon is the shaft of the feather and the fascicles are the vane. There are 3 types of this muscle.



Pennate

These are sphincter muscles. The fascicles surround an opening. The action of the muscle increases or decreases the diameter of the opening.



Circular

When the occipitalis is contracted, this muscle raises the eyebrows and wrinkles the skin of the forehead. When the occipitalis is relaxed, it draws the skin anteriorly.



Frontalis

It pulls the skin posteriorly



Occipitalis

Together they extend the head by flexing the cervical portion of the vertebral column. Alone they turn the head in the direction opposite of the contraction



Sternocleidomastoid

Acts with the massester to raise and pull back the mandible



Temporalis

Raises and pulls back the lower mandible, closes the mouth, and clenches the teeth. It also may move the mandible from side to side.



Massester

Closes and protrudes the lips and pulls the lips back against the teeth



Orbicularis Oris

Elevates and draws the scapula medially. It also extends and/or flexes the head



Levator scapulae

Extends the head when contracting together, and rotates the head when contracting singly.



Splenius Capitis

Elevates and helps the scapula rotate when adducting the arm

Rhomboideus Minor

Depresses and abducts the scapula, rotates it down and stabilizes it



Pectoralis Minor

Adducts, flexes, and medially rotates the humerus inward



Pectoralis Major

Abducts the scapula and rotates it upward. It also lifts the ribs when the scapula is fixed.



Serratus Anterior

Compresses the abdomen and can rotate the vertebral column



(Internal) Oblique

Compresses the abdomen and can rotate the vertebral column



(External) Oblique

Flexes the lumbar region of the vertebral column and compresses the abdomen



Rectus Abdominis

Elevates and/or adducts the scapula, rotates the scapula up or down, and draws the head back when the shoulders are fixed



Trapezius

Elevates and rotates the scapula downward while adducting the arm



Rhomboideus Major

It laterally rotates and abducts the arm at the shoulder



Infraspinatus

Laterally rotates, extends, and adducts the humerus at the shoulder and stabilizes the elbow joint.



Teres Minor



Assists the extension of the humerus, medially rotates the humerus, helps rotate the scapula downward



Teres Major

Extends, adducts, and medially rotates the arm at the shoulder. Also draws the arm inferiorly and posteriorly



Latissimus Dorsi

Connective tissue that acts as the origin for muscles of the lower back



Lumbodorsal Fascia

Abducts the arm at the shoulder, flexes and medially rotates the arm at the shoulder, and extends and laterally rotates the arm at the shoulder



Deltoid

Flexes the arm and forearm at the shoulder and elbow respectively and rotates the radius to supinate the hand



Biceps Brachii

Flexes the forearm at the elbow



Brachialis

Antagonistic to the brachialis, extends the forearm and arm at the elbow and shoulder respectively



Triceps Brachii

Extends and abducts the hand at the wrist functioning in radial hand movement at the wrist



Extensor Carpi Radialis

Pronates the forearm and aids in flexing the forearm at the elbow



Pronator Teres

Flexes the forearm at the elbow and supinates and pronates the forearm at the joint between the radius and ulna so the forearm is in a neutral position



Brachioradialis

Flexes and abducts the hand at the wrist



Flexor Carpi Radialis

Aids the deltoid when abducting the arm at the humerus
