  1. The Muscular System

  2. Types of Ordinary Body Movements • Flexion • Extension • Rotation • Abduction • Adduction • Circumduction

  3. Body Movements Figure 6.13a–c

  4. Body Movements Figure 6.13d

  5. Special Movements • Dorsiflexion • Plantar flexion • Inversion • Eversion • Supination • Pronation

  6. Using the list below, match the movement with the term that best describes the action. ________A. Extension ________C. Flexion ________B. Rotation ________D. Abduction • Starting with your head on your chest, raise your head to look straight ahead. • Cross your arms in front of your chest. • Sitting with your arms at your side and shoulders facing the table, reach for your textbook on the table. • Placing your arm out straight, alternate the “thumbs up, thumbs down” position.

  7. Types of Muscles • Prime mover – muscle with the major responsibility for a certain movement • Antagonist – muscle that opposes or reverses a prime mover • Synergist – muscle that aids a prime mover in a movement and helps prevent rotation • Fixator – stabilizes the origin of a prime mover

  8. Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Direction of muscle fibers • Example: rectus (straight) • Relative size of the muscle • Example: maximus (largest)

  9. Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Location of the muscle • Example: many muscles are named for bones (e.g., temporalis) • Number of origins • Example: triceps (three heads)

  10. Naming of Skeletal Muscles • Location of the muscle’s origin and insertion • Example: sterno (on the sternum) • Shape of the muscle • Example: deltoid (triangular) • Action of the muscle • Example: flexor and extensor (flexes or extends a bone)

  11. Head and Neck Muscles Figure 6.15
