  1. Muscular system Chapter 8

  2. What do muscles do? • All movements require muscles, which are organs that use chemical energy to contract. • Walking, breathing, eating, sneezing, all require muscles • Provide muscle tone • Propel body fluids and food • Generate heart beats • Distribute heat • Maintain posture

  3. Types of muscle • Skeletal (majority of this chapter) • Attaches to bone and consciously controlled • Smooth-hollow internal organs, irises, blood vessels • Cardiac-heart

  4. Rules of muscular activity • 1. Muscles get shorter as they contract • 2. Muscles cross at least one joint • 3. Muscles have an origin and insertion • Origin: immovable end of muscle • Insertion: movable end • 4. When a muscle contracts, its insertion is pulled toward the origin.

  5. Interactions of muscles • Skeletal muscles function in groups. • Prime Mover: the muscle doing the majority of the work during a movement • Synergists: helper muscles • Antagonists: opposing muscles

  6. Insertion (moveable end) Origin (immovable end) Muscular movements

  7. Muscular movements • Flexion: angle between joint is decreased

  8. Muscular movements • Extension: angle of joint is increased • Hyperextension: extension beyond normal anatomical position • Abduction: moving a part away from midline • Adduction: moving a part toward midline • Rotation: moving a part around an axis • You will look up the rest of the muscle movements for homework tonight (P. 167-170 in book)

  9. Major skeletal muscles • Named according to: • 1. Size (pectoralis major) • 2. Shape (orbicularis oris) • 3. Location (tibialis anterior) • 4. Movement (extensor digitorum) • 5. Number of attachments (biceps brachii) • About 650 muscles in the human body

  10. Major skeletal muscles

  11. Muscles of facial Expression • Epicranius-raises eyebrow • Orbicularis Oculi-closes eye • Orbicularis Oris-closes and protrudes lips • Buccinator-puckers cheeck • Zygomaticus-raises corner of mouth (Smile) • Platysma-draws angle of mouth downward

  12. Muscles of mastication • (Chewing) • Masseter: elevates mandible • Temporalis: elevates mandible

  13. Muscles that move head • Sternocleidomastoid: pulls head to one side, toward chest, or raises sternum • Splenius capitis: rotates head, bends head to one side, or brings head to upright position • Semispinaliscapitis: extends head, bends head to one side, rotates head

  14. Muscles that move head

  15. Muscles that move arm

  16. Back, Chest Muscles • Trapezius: rotates scapula, raises arm, raises scapula, pulls scapula medially, pulls shoulder down • Deltoid: abducts arm, extends/flexes humerus • LatissimusDorsi: extends/adducts arm, rotates arm inwardly, pulls shoulder down • Rhomboid Major: raises and adducts scapulae • Levator Scapulae: elevates scapulae • Pectoralis Minor: pulls scapula anteriorly and down • PectoralisMajor: pulls arm anteriorly and across chest, rotates humerus, adducts arm

  17. Abdominals • External Oblique • Rectus Abdominus • TransversusAbdominus • Internal Oblique

  18. Muscles that Move Forearm

  19. Move forearm • Biceps Brachii: flexes forearm at elbow and rotates hand laterally • Brachioradialis: flexes forearm at elbow • Triceps Brachii: extends forearm at elbow

  20. Move Hand • Flexor Carpi Radialis: flexes and abducts wrist • Palmaris longus: flexes wrist • Flexor Carpi Ulnaris: flexes and adducts wrist • Extensor Carpi Ulnaris: extends and adducts wrist • Extensor Digitorum: extends fingers • Extensor Carpi radialisbrevis: extends wrist and abducts hand

  21. THigh

  22. Thigh Muscles • Gluteus maximus: extends thigh • Gluteus medius: abducts and rotates thigh medially • Sartorius: flexes leg/thigh, abducts thigh, rotates thigh laterally, rotates leg medially • Semitendinosus: flexes leg, extends thigh • Semimembranosus: flexes leg, extends thigh • Quadriceps femoris (4 parts): extends leg at knee

  23. Muscles that move foot

  24. Muscles that move foot • Tibialis anterior: dorsiflexion and inversion of foot • Extensor digitorumlongus: dorsiflexion and eversion of foot; extension of foot • Gastrocnemius: plantar flexion of foot and flexion of leg at knee • Flexor digitorumlongus: plantar flexion and inversion of foot, flexion of four lateral toes • Tibialis posterior: plantar flexion and inversion of foot
