Types of Muscle Groups
Group of muscles that includes the trapezius and the sternocleidomastoid
What is the pharyngeal group?
The insertion point for muscles that are intermediate extensors of the wrist and digits?
What is the Lateral Epicondyle of the Humerus?
(The muscles in this group are the extensor digitorum and the extensor digiti minimi)
Calf muscle that means "belly"
What is Gastrocnemius?
The action of the quadriceps femoris muscles
Extends leg at knee (Rectus Femoris also flexes hip at the thigh)
The Fifth muscle in the Quadriceps Femoris group
What is Tensor Vastus Intermedius?
The muscles of the serratus group and their insertion
What are the Serratus Anterior, Rhomboideus, and Levator Scapulae muscles that insert on the medial border of the scapula?
The origin for the superficial forearm/wrist flexors
What is the medial epicondlye of the humerus? (the muscles in this group are the pronator teres, flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor carpi ulnaris)
Muscles in the lateral compartment of the leg pass behind which bone and bone marking?
What is the lateral malleolus of the fibula?
What is extending the leg at the knee?
The nerve that innervates the four muscles of the anterior compartment of the leg
What is the common fibular nerve?
Innervation and insertion of the muscles in the spinatus group
Supraspinatus and infraspinatus insert on the greater tubercle of the humerus and are innervated by the brachial plexus
The synergist of the biceps brachii
What is the brachialis? These muscles both flex the forearm at the elbow
Muscles in the Deep posterior compartment of the leg pass directly behind which bone and bone marking?
What is the medial malleolus of the tibia?
(Tibialis posterior, flexor digitorum longus, flexor hallucis longus)
Hypaxial muscle of the abdominopelvic body wall that has epaxial action
What is the Quadratus Lumborum?
What is the trigeminal nerve
List the muscles that are deep wrist/digit flexors and extensors
Flexors: Flexor digitorum profundus, Flexor pollicis longus, Pronator quadratus
Extensors: Supinator, Abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, extensor pollicis longus, Extensor Indicis
-All innervated by radial nerve
The major exception to the Superficial extensors of the forearm/wrist
What is the Brachioradialis? This muscle flexes the forearm at the elbow instead of extending or adducting/abducting the hand at the wrist like the other muscles in the group. It is included in this group because of the innervation by the radial nerve.
The semimembranosus muscle is deep to which muscle? These muscles are a part of which group?
What is the semitendinosus muscle? What is the hamstring group?
Muscles that aid in exhalation vs inhalation
What are the:
External Intercostals- Quiet inhalation
Internal Intercostals- Forced Exhalation
Transverse Thoracis- Forced exhalation
Scalenes- Deep Inhalation
Muscles that form the iliopsoas muscle
What is the Psoas Major and the Iliacus?
Teres Major and Teres minor are split into which two muscle groups?
What are the Latissumus and Deltoid groups?
Muscle that is innervated by both the median nerve and the ulnar nerve
Tensor Fasciae Latae -originates on the iliac crest and ASIS, it inserts on the iliotibial tract. It abducts and flexes the hip at the thight and is innervated bu the superior gluteal nerve. It is a muscle in the gluteal group.
Tensor Vastus Intermedius-originates in between the intertrochanteric line and the greater trochanter of the femur, it inserts on the tibial tuberosity via the patellar tendon. It extends the leg at the knee and is innervated by the femoral nerve from the lumbar plexus)
The pneumonic for muscles of the medial compartment of the thigh
What is the Adductor group with the pneumonic "three ducks pecking grass"
The six types of joints based on structure and function
Function:
Diarthrosis, Amphiarthrosis, Synarthrosis,
Structure:
Fibrous, cartilaginous, synovial
