Study Notes
- Introduction to the muscles of the body covering muscles of the head, neck, trunk, back, and limbs
- Focus on skeletal muscles that are under voluntary control, excluding smooth muscle and cardiac muscle
- Muscles of the face include muscles of facial expression and muscles of mastication like the masseter
- Muscles of the neck include sternocleidomastoid and trapezius, important for neck movement and posture
- Muscles of the back include multiple layers of muscles involved in supporting the spine and moving the ribs for breathing
- Core muscles in the trunk include intercostal muscles, diaphragm, and abdominal muscles for breathing and core stability
- Upper limb muscles include muscles like deltoid, latissimus dorsi, pectoralis major, trapezius, and rotator cuff muscles for shoulder movement and stability
- Lower limb muscles are large and support body weight during activities like walking, standing, and running
- Hip joint muscles include quadriceps femoris group for knee extension and hip flexion, and adductor muscles for hip adduction
- Hamstring muscles in the posterior compartment cross the hip and knee joints for hip extension and knee flexion
- Muscles in the gluteal region like gluteus maximus are powerful hip extensors, important for standing up from a seated position- The posterior compartment of the lower leg contains muscles that help with plantar flexion and inversion of the foot.
- The anterior compartment of the lower leg contains muscles that assist with dorsiflexion and extension of the toes.
- The lateral compartment of the lower leg houses the fibularis muscles which aid in eversion of the foot.
- These muscles work together to stabilize the body, especially when standing on one foot.
- In the foot, there are numerous small muscles that contribute to fine movements of the toes, similar to the hand.
