Study Notes
Movements of the Eyeball
- Muscles moving the eyes include the superior oblique, inferior oblique, inferior rectus, lateral rectus, medial rectus, and superior rectus
- The superior oblique is innervated by the trochlear nerve and depresses and laterally moves the eye
- The inferior rectus is innervated by the oculomotor nerve and depresses and medially moves the eye
- The lateral rectus is innervated by the abducens nerve and laterally moves the eye
- The medial rectus is innervated by the oculomotor nerve and medially moves the eye
- The superior rectus is innervated by the oculomotor nerve and elevates and medially moves the eye
Trunk Muscles
- Muscles that move the vertebral column are responsible for extending, laterally flexing, and rotating it
- Trunk muscles are instrumental in the production of erect posture
- Trunk muscles are organized into superficial and deep groups
- Superficial trunk muscles extend from vertebrae to ribs
- Deep trunk muscles extend from vertebra to vertebra
Muscles Acting on the Vertebral Column
- The erector spinae is a large superficial muscle that helps extend, laterally flex, and rotate the vertebral column
- The erector spinae is made up of three columns: iliocostalis, longissimus, and spinalis
- The semispinalis extends the neck and vertebral column
- Psoas major is located in the iliopsoas group and flexes the hip
- The deep muscles include interspinales, intertransversarii, multifidus, quadratus lumborum, rotatores, and splenius cervicis
- The interspinales extend the back and neck
- The intertransversarii laterally flex the vertebral column
- The multifidus extends and rotates the vertebral column
- The quadratus lumborum laterally flexes the vertebral column and helps depress the twelfth rib
- The rotatores extend and rotate the vertebral column
Posterior Neck and Deep Neck Muscles
- Posterior Neck and Deep Neck Muscles extend from the neck down to the base of the skull
- Posterior Neck and Deep Neck Muscles play an important role in rotating the neck and head
Abdominal Wall
- Abdominal wall muscles flex, rotate the vertebral column, and decrease the volume of the abdominal and thoracic cavities
- Abdominal wall muscles aid in forced expiration, vomiting, defecation, urination, and childbirth
- The abdominal wall is formed by a complex crossing pattern of multiple muscles, which contributes to its strength and ability to support organs
Muscles of the Abdominal Wall
- Abdominal wall muscle groups include the rectus abdominis, external abdominal oblique, internal abdominal oblique, and transversus abdominis
- The rectus abdominis flexes the vertebral column and compresses the abdominal wall
- The external abdominal oblique flexes and rotates the vertebral column, depresses the thorax, and compresses the abdominal wall
- The internal abdominal oblique flexes and rotates the vertebral column, compresses the abdominal wall, and depresses the thorax
- The transversus abdominis compresses the abdominal wall
Anterior Abdominal Wall Muscles
- The anterior abdominal wall muscles are responsible for important functions such as flexing the vertebral column, compressing the abdominal wall, and supporting the abdominal organs
Muscles of the Arm Acting on the Forearm
- Muscles acting on the arm and forearm include the coracobrachialis, deltoid, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, teres major, and the rotator cuff muscles
- The rotator cuff muscles include the infraspinatus, subscapularis, supraspinatus, and teres minor
- The coracobrachialis adducts the arm and flexes the shoulder
- The deltoid flexes, extends, abducts, and rotates the arm at the shoulder
- The latissimus dorsi adducts, medially rotates, and extends the arm
- The pectoralis major flexes, adducts, and rotates the arm at the shoulder, it also extends the shoulder from a flexed position
- The teres major extends, adducts, and medially rotates the arm
- The supraspinatus abducts the arm and helps stabilize the head of the humerus
- The infraspinatus laterally rotates the arm and helps stabilize the head of the humerus
- The subscapularis medially rotates the arm and stabilizes the head of the humerus
- The teres minor laterally rotates, adducts, and helps stabilize the head of the humerus
Forearm Movements
- Muscles acting on the forearm allow movement at the elbow joint
Muscles Acting on the Hip and Thigh
- The gluteal muscles, lateral rotator group, adductor group, and iliopsoas group all act on the hip and thigh
- The gluteal group includes the gluteus maximus, gluteus medius, gluteus minimus, and tensor fasciae latae
- The gluteus maximus extends and rotates the thigh at the hip as well as abducts it
- The gluteus medius abducts and medially rotates the thigh and also helps tilt the pelvis
- The gluteus minimus abducts and medially rotates the thigh and helps tilt the pelvis
- The tensor fasciae latae tenses the lateral fascia and helps to stabilize the femur
- The lateral rotator group is made up of the gemellus (inferior and superior), obturator (externus and internus), and piriformis
- The adductor group is made up of the adductor brevis, adductor longus, adductor magnus, gracilis, and pectineus
- The iliopsoas group is made up of the iliacus and psoas major, and flexes the hip
Leg Movements
- Leg movements are facilitated by muscles located in the thigh and leg which act on the knee and ankle joints
- The quadriceps femoris group is located anterior to the thigh
- The quadriceps femoris group is responsible for extending the knee
