What is a group/bundle of muscle fibers called?

Fascicle

100

This muscle flexes and laterally rotates the neck

Sternocleidomastoid

100

This muscle flexes and rotates the vertebral column. It is divided by fibrous tissue that makes up our 'six pack'

Rectus abdominis

100

These 3 muscles are synergists with biceps brachii for elbow flexion.

Brachialis, brachioradialis and pronator teres

100

These two muscles make up triceps surae, or the posterior leg muscles

Gastrocnemius and soleus

100

Band of connective tissue that runs down the middle of rectus abdominis. Serves as an attachment point

Linea alba
100

Action is to tense the skin of your neck, 'shaving' muscle

Platysma

200

What is the main muscle of a specific action referred to as?

Prime mover/Agonist

200

This muscles originates at galea aponeurotica and it's action is to pull the scalp posteriorly and raise the eyebrows

Frontalis

200

These muscles originate and insert on the ribs and help with breathing

External and internal intercostals

200

This muscles retracts, protracts, elevates, depresses and rotates the scapula. It has high, middle and low fibers.

Trapezius

200
What muscle group flexes the thigh and extends the knee, and what muscle group extends the thigh and flexes the knee?

Flex thigh/extend knee: Quadriceps muscles

Extend thigh/flex knee: Hamstrings

200

This muscle separates teres major and minor (be specific!)

Long head of triceps brachii

200

The DEEP muscle of the hamstrings

Semimembranosus

300

Why do type I (slow) fibers appear red?

Abundant amounts of myoglobin

300

These are our smiling muscles (2)

Zygomaticus major and minor, and Risorius

300

Name the three muscles of erector spinae (any order)

Iliocostalis, Longissimus, Spinalis. Remember:

 I

Spaghetti!!!)

300

Origin: 3rd to 5th ribs near their costal cartilages. Insertion: Medial border and superior surface of coracoid process of scapula  Action: This muscle depresses, stabilizes, ABducts the scapula. Deep to the pectoralis major.

Pectoralis Minor

300

What muscle does dorsiflexion? What muscle is the prime mover of plantar flexion?

Dorsiflexion: Anterior tibialis

Plantar Flexion: Gastrocnemius

300

What muscle is found on the axilla?

Teres major

300

These two muscles originate and insert on the forearm, and their action is to pronate the forearm

Pronator Teres and Pronator Quadratus
400

What happens to the sarcomere during a muscle contraction?

1. H & I bands move closer together 2. Z-lines move closer together 3. Zone of Overlap increases 4. A bands stay the same

400

Which of these is NOT a muscle of mastication?

a. Temporalis

b. Masseter

c. Buccinator

d. Mentalis

d. Mentalis

400

The DEEPEST muscle of the abdomen, it's action is to compress abdominal contents

Transverse abdominis

400

This fan shaped muscle's action is to protract and do upward rotation of the scapula. It also is called the boxer's muscle.

Serratus Anterior

400

Name the hip adductors (5!)

Adductor magnus, Adductor brevis, Adductor longus, Gracilis, and Pectineus

400

What makes up your femoral triangle?

Sartorius, adductor longus, and inguinal ligament

400

This muscle ABducts the thumb

ABductor pollicis longus

500

What three neuro components need to be present in a muscle cell for a contraction to occur?

ACh (Actylcholine), Ca2+ (calcium ions) and ATP

500

Origin - Posterior surface of manubrium of sternum Insertion - Thyroid cartilage Action - Pulls larynx and hyoid bone inferiorly

Sternothyroid

500

Deepest muscle of the back. It extends the vertebral column, lateral flexion of the vertebral column, and helps with inspiration

Quadratus Lumborum

500

Name the SHOULDER FLEXORS, and the SHOULDER EXTENSORS. Hint: There are three for each!

Flexors: Pectoralis major (prime mover), Anterior deltoid and Coracobrachialis

Extensors: Latissimus Dorsii (prime mover), Posterior Deltoid, and Teres Major

500

Name the LATERAL rotators of the thigh (think deep muscles!)

Piriformis, Obturator externus and internus, gemellus superior and inferior, and quadratus femoris

Remember: PGOGOQ!

500

What regions make up your anterior cervical triangle?

Suprahyoid triangle, submandibular triangle, superior carotid triangle, and inferior carotid triangle
