Anatomy & Physiology Ch 10 – Muscular System. Interactions of Skeletal Muscles in the Body. Muscles only pull; they’re not capable of pushing. The prime mover or agonist provides major force for specific mvmt. Muscles that oppose or reverse specific mvmt are called antagonists.

Interactions of Skeletal Muscles in the Body • Muscles only pull; they’re not capable of pushing. • The prime mover or agonist provides major force for specific mvmt. • Muscles that oppose or reverse specific mvmt are called antagonists. • Synergists help prime movers by adding extra force to a mvmt or reduce undesirable mvmts.
II. Naming Skeletal Muscles • Named for body region where located. • Shape • Size (maximus, minimus, longus, brevis) • Direction of fibers to body (like midline) • Number of origins (biceps, triceps, quadriceps) • Location of origin & insertion • Action (flexor or extensor)
Muscle Mechanics • Operation of skeletal muscles involves leverage & lever systems, partnerships between muscular & skeletal systems) • Lever is bar that moves on fixed point, or fulcrum, when force is applied. • Applied force, or effort, is used to move a resistance or load. • Joints act as fulcrums, bones as levers, & muscle contraction as effort. • 3 types of levers: 1st class, 2nd class, & 3rd class
Major Skeletal Muscles • Head: Facial Expression • 1. Scalp – frontalis & occipitalis • 2. Face – zygomaticus, mentalis, buccinator • Head: Tongue Movement • 1. Mastication – masseter, temporalis, buccinator • 2. Tongue mvmt – genioglossus, hypoglossus, styloglossus
Neck & Vertebral Column: Head & trunk mvmts • 1. Neck Muscles: Sternocleidomastoid, scalenes • 2. Back: erector spinae, longissimus, spinalis • Thorax: Respiration • External & internal intercostals & diaphragm
Abdominal Wall: trunk mvmts • Rectus abdominis, external & internal oblique, & transverse abdominis • Pelvic: support abdominopelvic organs • 1. Pelvic diapragm – levator ani & coccygeus • 2. Urogenital diaphragm – deep transverse perineus & sphincter urethrae
Anterior & posterior Thorax: Mvmts of Scapula • 1. Anterior – pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, & subclavius • 2. Posterior – trapezius, lavator scapulae, & rhomboids (major & minor) • Muscles Crossing Shoulders: mvmt of arm • Pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, subscapularis, terres major & minor
Muscles Crossing Elbow Joint: Flexion & extension of forearm • 1. Posterior – triceps brachii, brachialis, & brachioradialis • 2. Anterior – biceps brachii, brachialis, & brachioradialis • Muscles of Forearm: mvmt of wrist, hand, fingers • 1. Anterior superficial – flexor carpi radialis, palmaris longus, flexor cari ulnaris • 2. Ant. Deep – flexor digitorum profundus
Muscles Crossing Hip & Knee Joints: thigh & leg mvmts • 1. Adductor group of thigh – adductor longus, adductor magnus, adductor brevis • 2. Quadriceps femoris group – rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis • 3. Posterior – gluteal muscles are gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus maximus • 4. Posterior of thigh – hamstring group is biceps femoris, semitendinosus, & semimembranosus
Muscles of Leg: mvmts of ankle & toes • 1. Fibularis longus, fibularis brevis, plantaris, tibialis posterior • 2. Sole - plantar
