Study Notes
Heart Rate Regulation
- Sympathetic fibers increase heart rate.
- Vagus nerve (parasympathetic) slows heart rate.
Common Carotid Artery
- Major artery supplying blood to the head and neck.
- Structure is not a muscle; it's a blood deliverer.
- Smooth muscle regulates blood pressure.
- Innervated by the radial nerve. Helps straighten the wrist.
Extensor Carpi Ulnaris
- Located at the lateral epicondyle of the humerus and ulna; base of the fifth metacarpal.
- Straightens the wrist and moves the hand toward the pinky side.
- Innervated by the radial nerve.
Pronator Teres
- Located at the medial epicondyle of the humerus and ulna; middle of the radius.
- Rotates the forearm, flexing the trunk.
- Innervated by the lower six thoracic nerves.
Internal Oblique
- Located at the thoracolumbar fascia, iliac crest, and inguinal ligament; linea alba and lower ribs.
- Compresses the abdomen and flexes the trunk.
- Innervated by the lower thoracic and first lumbar nerves.
Transversus Abdominis
- Located at the inguinal ligament, iliac crest, and lower six ribs; linea alba and pubic crest.
- Compresses abdominal contents.
- Innervated by the upper and lower subscapular nerves.
Teres Major
- Located at the inferior angle of the scapula; medial lip of the intertubercular groove of the humerus.
- Adducts and medially rotates the arm.
- Innervated by the lower subscapular nerve.
Teres Minor
- Located at the lateral border of the scapula; greater tubercle of the humerus.
- Laterally rotates the arm.
- Innervated by the axillary nerve and intercostal nerves.
Internal Intercostals
- Located at the superior border of the rib below; inferior border of the rib above.
- Depresses ribs during forced expiration.
- Innervated by the intercostal nerves.
Pectoralis Major
- Located at the clavicle, sternum, and cartilage of the first six ribs; greater tubercle of the humerus.
- Adducts and medially rotates the arm.
- Innervated by the medial and lateral pectoral nerves.
