Achtlyn (Actin) and Maya-Sing (Myosin) would love if you could draw their portraits to hang up in the Sarcolemma! 

Draw the two as detailed as possible to show their unique differences 

For Actin --> distinguishing factors should be the heads


For Myosin --> actin 'pearls,' troponin, and tropomyosin 

100

What is the difference between the orbicularis oculi and the orbicularis oris?

Can you point them out?

 The orbicularis oculi closes the eyes and the orbicularis oris puckers the lips 

100

Our names hint to how many origins we have 

One of us flexes the forearm while the other extends it


Who are we and which one performs which action?

Biceps brachii (flexion of the arm) and Triceps brachii (extension of the arm)

100

There are two of us who perform the same action.

When we contract, we cause flection of the vertebral column, causing the abdomen to compress 


Who are we?


Rectus abdominus and transverse abdominus

100

What are the four muscles of the quadriceps?

Rectus femoris 

Vastus lateralis, intermedius, and medialis  

200

Insertion and Origin live in the same muscle and are very much in love, but they live so far away!

On the biceps brachii , can you draw where they live?

PS: you get an extra 20 points for showing me the movement AND telling me the type of muscle movement involved 

In a quick schematic, Origin would be more proximal and Insertion more distal 


The movement would be holding your arm out and bringing your forearm closer to you

This movement is flexion 

200

What are these two muscles?

What connects them?

Frontalis and Occipitalis 

they are connected by an aponeurosis 

200

Our names both contain brachi- , and we perform the same actions, but we have different endings 

Who are we?

Can you point us out on a model?

brachialis and brachioradialis

200

what muscles make up the mnemonic phrase "I love Spine?" 

Which is most lateral and which is more medial?


Iliocostalis (more lateral)

Longissimus 

Spinalis (more medial)

200

What are the 3 muscles of the hamstrings and the movements they create?

Biceps femoris, semimembranosus, and semitendinosis

All 3 have the same action of flexing the leg and extending the thigh 

300

We're Sarco-Meary's sisters. People often confuse the both of us, even though we're different 

One of us is thin and the other is thick. We help Sarco-Meary contract when she has to. One of us  gives very strong power strokes.

Who are we? And which one of us does power strokes?

Achtlyn (Actin) and Maya-Sing (Myosin)

Maya-Sing(Myosin) is responsible for power strokes

300

We are two twins with the same name. One of us is larger than the other, but the smallest of us lives above the bigger one. 

One of us pulls up on the upper lip, while the other one of us pulls the lips into a smile -- who are we and which of us does which action?


Can you point us out to Keila ?

The muscles are zygomaticus major and zygomaticus minor

The major is what pulls the lips into a smile while the minor pulls up on the upper lip

300

If this muscle originates from the distal end of the humerus and inserts at the phalanges, what kind of movement would you see?

What kind of muscle(s) would satisfy this description?


(note: one answer is fine, but two answers (if correct) might be better....)

flexion of the hand and digits 

Flexor digitorum superficialis and/or flexor digitorum profundus 

300

We have similar jobs that help in respiration, but we each do different things.

One of us helps in inspiration, while the other helps in expiration -- who are we, and which once performs which action?

External intercostals (inspiration) and internal intercostals (expiration)

300

Can you identify the 4 muscles being pointed to?

Tensor fascia latae

Gracilis

aDductor magnus 

Piriformus 

400

Hi, my name is Sarco-Meary(Sarcomere)! Can you please draw my two brothers? They look just like me!

Can you also draw the NeuroMusklair Train Junction? Its our favorite place to hang out !

(label ALL points of interest on BOTH drawings)

There should be TWO sarcomeres

Should include: the Z lines, M lines, thin and thick filaments, the zone of overlap, the A band, I band, and the H zone


NMJ: should include synapse, vesicles, Ach, Ach receptors, and end plate 


PS: her brothers names are Sarco-Mario and Sarco-Larry

400

A) What am I pointing to?

B) What muscle is normally over this?

C) What happens if the right portion of muscle A contracts ?

A) Stenoclioidmastoid 

B) The Platysma 

C) If the right stenoclioidmastoid contracts, the head rotates to the right

400

What are we pointing at?

Can you identify the movements made by these muscles? 


Note: there are 2 movements for each muscle, both must be correct for the win

flexor carpi radialis and flexor carpi ulnaris 

they felt the hand, but radialis also aBducts it while the ulnaris aDducts it

400

I am one of the larger muscles on the body 

My 3 parts span from the base of the skull to clavicle (superior), to the scapula to the upper vertebral column (middle), and to the scapula through down halfway to the back (inferior)

My movements allow adduction, elevation, and also depression of the scapula, while also being able to extend the head



Who am I ?

trapezius 

400

Point out the following

1) Sartorious

2) Gluteus medius

3) aDductor longus 

500

My name is Maya Figbrel and I have a VERY big family. We live in tight bundles inside one of the Fass-Ikeyl districts.  

There are MANY Fass-Ikeyl districts and my family is spread out throughout them.

Can you please draw the bundle of my family district, the other bundle districts, and the whole city that we live in?

(aka: draw a complete schematic/cross section of a muscle, and label EVERYTHING)

The cross section should include: the myofibril, muscle fiber, endonysium, facile, perimysium, and the epimysium 

500

Can you show me where the masseter is?

What kind(s) of movements do you expect to see from this muscle?


PS: you get 20 extra points if you can can name more than 1 movement

elevates, protracts, and retracts the mandible 

500

Can you point out the following muscles ?
1) aBductor pollicis longus

2) extensor carpi radialis brevis

3) extensor digitorum

4) extensor pollicis brevis 

500

Given the movements, what muscles would act in this way?

1) depress the scapula 

2)  rotation of the scapula (specify which rotation)

3) aDducts the arm 

4) aBducts the arm 

Possible answers....

1) pectoralis minor, trapezius

2) rhomboid major/minor (inferior rotation), serrates anterior (superior rotation)

3)pectorals major, latissimus dorsi, infraspinatus, teres major

4) deltoid, supraspinatus

500

Name 3 muscles that cause plantar flexion and point them out on a model

Possible muscles:

Gastrocnemius, soleus, tibialis posterior, fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, flexor digitorum longus, or flexor hallucis longus
