The fibularis muscle group originates on the fibula and inserts on the metatarsals.
What is the location of the fibularis muscle group? (Hint: these muscles allow plantarflexion and eversion.)

The semimembranosis
Which muscle is inserted at the medial surface of the tibia?
100
Triangular.
What is the shape of the deltoid?
100
It is inserted through the deltoid tuberosity of the humerus.
Where is the deltoid inserted?
200
It is located on the anterior body of the tibia.
Where is the tibialis anterior located? This is the muscle that inserts in the medial cuneiform and first metatarsal bones and allows dorsiflexion and inversion of the foot.
200
This muscle is called the infraspinatus, and it allows liateral rotation of the arm, and stabilizes the humerus.
What is the function of the triangular muscle that is inserted in the middle facet of the greater tubercle of the humerus, and what is it?
200
It is inserted at the pes anserinus and it flexes the knee and extends the hip joint.
Where is the semitendinosus muscle inserted and what does it do?
200
The rhomboids.
What is the muscle that is shaped like a rhombus?
200
This muscle allows abduction, flexion, and extension of the shoulder.
What is the purpose of the deltoid?
300
This muscle is called the subscaplaris.
What is the muscle located behind the supraspinatus, that stabilizes the shoulder?
300
The vastus intermedius muscle extends the leg.
What is the function of the muscle located on the Anterior and lateral surfaces of the shaft of the femur?
300
Patella via the quadriceps tendon and then the tibial tuberosity via the patella tendon.
Describe the insertion of the Vastus Intermedius.

What is the function of the semimembranosus?
400
It is inserts at the patella.
Where is the vastus medialis inserted on the femur?
400
The gastrocnemius.
What is the muscle called that is referred to as "the stomach of the leg" because of its buldging shape?
400
The teres major.
What is one of the six scapulohumeral muscles taht is inverted by the lower scapular nerve?

The vastus medialis.
What is the muscle that allows extension of the leg?
500
The vastus lateralis.
What muscle is inserted at the patella and tibial tuberosity, and extends and stabilizes the knee?
500
A triangle.
