Study Notes
Muscle Anatomy and Function
- Muscles are attached to bones by tendons
- Origin is the stationary bone during muscle contraction, while insertion is the movable bone
- Muscles can only pull, not push
- Prime mover or agonist is mainly responsible for producing movement
- Synergists assist the prime mover to add extra force
- Fixators give the prime mover a stable base on which to act
- Different types of muscle arrangements include triangular (deltoid), large (maximus), small (minimus), long (longus), rectus, transversus, oblique
- Skeletal muscles can have multiple origins, such as triceps (3 origins) and biceps (2 origins)
- Different types of muscle arrangements include convergent, circular, parallel, fusiform, pennate (unipennate, bipennate, multipennate)
- Levers consist of a rigid bar, fulcrum, effort, and load, with three classes of levers
- Specific muscles of the head include occipitofrontalis, orbicularis oculi, zygomaticus, orbicularis oris, buccinator, temporalis, masseter
- Muscles of the tongue include hyoglossus, styloglossus, and sternocleidomastoid, trapezius, erector spinae, external and internal intercostals, diaphragm, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior, levator scapulae, and levator ani.
