    Study Notes

    Anterior Abdominal Muscle Group

    • External Oblique

      • Origin: External surfaces of the 5th to 12th ribs.
      • Insertion: Anterior superior iliac spine, anterior half of iliac crest, pubic tubercle, and linea alba.
      • Function: Flexes the trunk, lateral flexion (ipsilateral), contralateral rotation, and rib depression.
    • Internal Oblique

      • Origin: Thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, inguinal ligament.
      • Insertion: Inferior borders of the 10th to 12th ribs, adjacent costal cartilages, linea alba, and pecten pubis.
      • Function: Flexes the trunk, lateral flexion (ipsilateral), and ipsilateral rotation.
    • Rectus Abdominis

      • Origin: Pubic crest and symphysis.
      • Insertion: Xiphoid process and costal cartilages of the 5th to 7th ribs.
      • Function: Flexes the trunk.
    • Transverse Abdominis

      • Origin: Costal cartilages of the 7th to 12th ribs, thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, and inguinal ligament.
      • Insertion: Linea alba, pubic crest, and pecten pubis.
      • Function: Compresses abdominal contents and provides structural support.

    Posterior Muscle Group

    • Latissimus Dorsi

      • A large muscle of the back contributing to arm movement and stability.
    • Longissimus Thoracis

      • Part of the erector spinae group, involved in the extension and lateral flexion of the spine.
    • Iliocostalis

      • Also part of the erector spinae, involved in the extension and lateral flexion of the spine.
    • General Erector Spinae Mass

      • Composed of three muscle columns: iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis, critical for maintaining posture.
    • Quadratus Lumborum

      • Located in the lower back, it assists in lateral flexion of the vertebral column and stabilizes the pelvis.

    Lower Limb Muscle Groups

    • Quadriceps Group

      • Major muscle group in the front of the thigh, responsible for knee extension.
    • Adductors

      • Inner thigh muscles that are primarily responsible for the adduction of the hip.
    • Hamstring Group

      • Located at the back of the thigh, these muscles facilitate knee flexion and hip extension.
    • Tibialis Anterior

      • Located anteriorly in the lower leg, responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot.
    • Gastrocnemius

      • Calf muscle that aids in plantarflexion and knee flexion.
    • Soleus

      • Located beneath the gastrocnemius, important for plantarflexion, especially during walking and running.
