Extensor carpi ulnaris muscle

1. Flexor carpi ulnaris a. The flexor carpi ulnaris originates on the humeral medial epicondyle/ the ulnar olecranon process, and inserts onto the pisiform, hamate, and 5th metacarpal (Starkey, Brown, Ryan, 2011). a. Its main functions are wrist flexion and ulnar deviation (Starkey, et al., 2011). 2. Flexor digitorum profundus a. The flexor digitorum profundus originates on the proximal portion of the ulna near the interosseous membrane, and inserts onto the base of the phalanges (II-V) (Starkey…

to watch what is going on with the pitcher and also people on base at all times. The most important muscles in cervical extension would be trapezius, levator scapula, splenius capitis, splenius cervicis, rectus capitis posterior major, recuts capitis posterior minor,…

What is meant by “agonist and antagonist muscle pairs”? Give an example What is meant by agonist in muscle pairs is that it does the majority of the workload in an exercise and is considered the prime mover (primarily responsible for movement). The antagonist in respect to the agonist counteracts. The antagonist helps allow the agonist to perform a task. An example could be the biceps brachii contracts when doing elbow flexion. While the antagonist would be the triceps brachii relaxing during…

which then leads to the jump and follow through. The jump follow through occurs when the pole vaulter lances themselves straight up in order to clear the bar. During the entire event the pole vaulters body is enticed in play by play action where every muscle takes…

Evaluate how the name of a muscle can distinguish its location, action, shape, and function. Select five different muscles to make this distinction. Depending on the anatomical position of the body part, certain prefixes, and suffixes are utilized in order to find its location verbally. These prefixes and suffixes can be described by the: size of the muscle, location of the muscles, direction of the muscle fibers, amount of origins, shape of a muscle, and location of a muscle origin/insertion.…

Biering-Sorensen test evaluates the hip and back extensor muscles aerobic capacity. This rehabilitative exercise also helps to improve a reduction in the pain intensity the patient experiences. Furthermore, improvement is seen in the lumbopelvic movement control, which allows for a larger range of motion (Berglund et al, 2015). The deadlift requires muscles from all across the body to complete the action in its…

There are about 700 types of muscles within the human body that aid the body with movement while a few also helps with stabilizing the bones (Allen and Harper 2014). Skeletal, cardiac, and smooth are the three types of muscular tissues found within the body (Tortora and Derrickson 2014). The heart is made out of cardiac muscle tissue and that is striated (Tortora and Derrickson 2014). The walls of the hollow organs of the human body are made with smooth muscle tissues that are non-striated…
