Kinesiology 1
To remember the characteristics of an insertion, you can use the acronym "I-DLM". What does this acronym stand for?
"Insertion- Distal, Lateral, Movable"
When you do a sidebend, you are performing this movement at the vertebral column.
Lateral Flexion
This gluteal muscle performs every action EXCEPT adduction of the hip.
Gluteus medius
When you lift your toes towards your nose, you are performing this movement at the ankle.
Dorsiflexion
This is the only adductor muscle that does not assist in flexing the hip.
Gracilis
Plantarflexion
The Erector Spinae Group performs these two actions.
1. Lateral flexion of the vertebral column to the same side
2. Extension of the vertebral column
When you bring your knee to your chest, you are performing this action at the hip.
Flexion
The tibialis posterior _____ the foot and plantar flexes the ankle.
Inverts
The adductor magnus's origin is on the inferior ramus of the pubis, the ramus of the ischium and the ________.
Ischial Tuberosity
A joint with little or no movement is called a _______ joint.
Fibrous
This oblique rotates the vertebral column to the same side.
Internal Oblique
This muscle's origin is on the anterior surface of the sacrum, and its insertion is on the superior aspect of the greater trochanter.
Piriformis
The extensor digitorum longus extends the ______ toes.
Second through fifth
The gracilis flexes the knee and ______ rotates the flexed knee.
Medially
When you tilt your head to bring your ear closer to your shoulder, you are performing this movement at the neck.
Lateral flexion
The rectus abdominis's origin is on the pubis symphsis and pubic crest, and its insertion is on the cartilage of the __________ ribs and xiphoid process.
Fifth, sixth, and seventh
This muscle's origin is on the iliac crest, posterior to the ASIS, and its insertion is on the iliotibial tract.
Tensor Fascia Latae
The fibularis longus's origin is on the head of the fibula and proximal two-thirds of the shaft of the fibula, and its insertion is on the base of the _____ metatarsal and medial cuneiform.
First
This adductor muscle's insertion is on the pectineal line and medial lip of the linea aspera.
Adductor Brevis
Name the six types of synovial joints.
Ball-and-socket, hinge, pivot, ellipsoid/condyloid, gliding, saddle.
This muscle's origin is on the external surfaces of the fifth to twelfth ribs, and its insertion is on the anterior part of the iliac crest and rectus sheath to linea alba.
External Oblique
The gluteus maximus has both upper and lower fibers. Its upper fibers' insertion is on the iliotibial tract, and its lower fibers' insertion is on the __________.
Gluteal Tuberosity
This muscle's origin is on the common extensor tendon from the lateral epicondyle of the humerus, and its insertion is on the bases of the middle and distal phalanges of the second through fifth fingers.
Extensor Digitorum
The pectineus's origin is on the ______ ramus of the pubis, and its insertion is on the pectineal line of the femur.
Superior
