What is triceps brachii.
100
This muscle is a wrist flexor and and radial deviator.
What is flexor carpi radialis
100
This is the largest of the muscles that adducts the thigh at the hip.
What is adductor magnus.
100
These are the four muscles that make up quadriceps femoris.
What are rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius, and vastus medialis.
200
This group of muscles is the primary abductor of the upper arm at the glenohumeral joint.
What are the deltoids
200
This elbow flexor inserts at the ulnar tuberosity.
What is brachialis.
200
This muscle is a wrist flexor and an ulnar deviator.
What is flexor carpi ulnaris
200
This two-bellied muscle is a primary hip flexor.
What is iliopsoas.
200
These two knee flexors are the medial hamstrings
What are semimembranosus and semitendinosus.
300
This muscle acts on the glenohumeral joint, but has far ranging origins, including on the ilium.
What is latissimus dorsi
300
Even though this muscle's primary actions are at the elbow, all of its origins are on the scapula and are therefore also involved in the shoulder joint.
What is biceps brachii.
300
This muscle is not present in approximately 14% of humans.
What is palmaris longus
300
These two hip abductors have their origins on the lateral ilium, and are critical to stance limb stability during walking.
What are gluteus medius and gluteus minimus.
300
Of the two plantarflexor muscles that make up triceps surae, this one does not cross the knee joint.
What is soleus.
400
The sternal portion of this muscle is an extensor of the upper arm at the glenohumeral joint.
What is pectoralis major.
400
This pronator of the forearm shares part of its origin with several extrinsic hand muscles via the common flexor tendon.
What is pronator teres.
400
This muscle flexes the fingers (rays 2-5) at the MCP and PIP joints only.
What is flexor digitorum superficialis
400
This muscle has part of its origin on the coccyx, and its insertion blends with the fibers of tensor fascia lata to form the IT band.
What is gluteus maximus.
400
This is the only muscle of quadriceps femoris that also crosses the hip.
What is rectus femoris.
500
Depending on location, the members of this group of muscles are involved in upward rotation, elevation, depression, or retraction of the scapula.
What are the trapezius muscles.
500
The long head of this muscle is involved in shoulder extension and adduction.
What is triceps brachii.
500
Although located near the wrist, this muscle's primary action is at the elbow
What is pronator quadratus
500
The long head of this muscle is an agonist of hip extension.
What is biceps femoris.
500
This muscle has two origins on the femur, and inserts into the calcaneus via the Achilles tendon.
What is gastrocnemius
