Study Notes
Shoulder Muscles
- Stabilize the shoulder joint, with all muscles originating in the scapula and inserting in the humerus.
- Tendons of all muscles except for teres major constitute the rotator cuff.
-
Posterior view muscles:
- Supraspinatus: responsible for arm abduction.
- Infraspinatus: enables lateral rotation of the arm.
- Teres minor: assists in lateral rotation and adduction of the arm.
- Teres major: responsible for medial rotation, adduction, and extension.
-
Anterior view muscle:
- Subscapularis: facilitates medial rotation.
Arm Muscles
-
Key arm muscles:
- Deltoid: primary muscle for shoulder abduction.
- Biceps brachii: involved in elbow flexion and supination.
- Brachialis: assists in elbow flexion.
- Triceps brachii: responsible for elbow extension.
- Brachioradialis: aids in elbow flexion and stabilization.
Forearm Muscles
Anterior Muscles
- Flexors primarily originate at the medial epicondyle.
- Key muscles include:
- Brachioradialis: flexes the forearm.
- Pronator teres: pronates the forearm.
- Flexor carpi radialis: flexes and abducts the wrist.
- Palmaris longus: tenses the palmar fascia.
- Flexor carpi ulnaris: flexes and adducts the wrist.
Posterior Muscles
- Extensors originate at the lateral epicondyle.
- Key muscles include:
- Brachioradialis: functions in forearm flexion.
- Extensor carpi radialis longus: extends and abducts the wrist.
- Extensor carpi radialis brevis: extends the wrist.
- Extensor digitorium: extends the fingers.
- Extensor carpi ulnaris: extends and adducts the wrist.
- Pollicis group: includes muscles like abductor pollicis longus, extensor pollicis brevis, and extensor pollicis longus, responsible for thumb movement.
Hip Muscles
- Provide stability to the hip joint, which is a ball-and-socket type.
-
Posterior view muscles:
- Gluteus maximus: major extensor and lateral rotator of the hip.
- Gluteus medius: aids in abduction and medial rotation.
- Gluteus minimus: assists in abduction and medial rotation.
- Piriformis: contributes to lateral rotation of the hip.
- Superior gemellus, obturator internus, inferior gemellus: stabilize and laterally rotate the hip.
-
Anterior view muscles:
- Iliopsoas: main hip flexor comprised of psoas major and iliacus.
Thigh Muscles
Anterior Muscles
- Quadriceps group consists of:
- Rectus femoris: extends the leg at the knee and flexes the hip.
