    Study Notes

    Muscle Attachments

    • Origin: Less movable attachment; in limbs, it's the more proximal attachment.
    • Insertion: More movable attachment; in limbs, it's the more distal attachment.
    • Belly: Thick, fleshy central part of muscle tissue.
    • Fleshy Attachment: Direct connection of muscles to bone.
    • Tendinous Attachment: Dense connective tissue connecting muscle to bone.
    • Aponeurotic Attachment: Flat tendinous sheet, typically associated with flat muscles.

    Muscle Classification

    • Intrinsic Muscles: Located within a specific body region, acting solely on bones in that region.
    • Extrinsic Muscles: Span a region, influencing the position of different anatomical areas.

    Muscle Names Based on Function

    • Muscles Movements:
      • Abductor: Moves a part away from the midline.
      • Adductor: Moves a part towards the midline.
      • Flexor: Bends a limb at the joint, decreasing joint angle.
      • Extensor: Straightens a limb, increasing joint angle.
      • Rotator: Turns a body part on its axis.
      • Supinator: Rotates palmar or plantar surface upward.
      • Pronator: Rotates palmar or plantar surface downward.
      • Levator: Raises or elevates a part.
      • Depressor: Lowers or depresses a part.

    Muscle Names Based on Location

    • Names identify specific muscles based on their anatomical location, e.g., Pectoral (chest) or Infraspinatus (beneath the scapula).

    Muscle Names Based on Direction

    • Rectus: Aligned with body’s vertical axis.
    • Oblique: Slanted outward from midline.
    • Transverse: Crosswise.
    • Sphincter: Ring-like structure that constricts openings.

    Muscle Names Based on Number of Parts

    • Biceps: Two divisions.
    • Triceps: Three divisions.
    • Quadriceps: Four divisions.

    Muscle Names Based on Size

    • Minimus/Minor: Small.
    • Maximus/Major/Vastus: Large.
    • Latissimus: Broad.

    Muscle Names Based on Shape

    • Deltoid: Trapezoidal like the Greek letter delta.
    • Rhomboideus: Diamond-shaped.
    • Serratus: Saw-toothed appearance.

    Muscles of Mastication

    • Function: Aid in jaw movements for chewing; primarily elevating the mandible.
    • Innervation: Most are innervated by the trigeminal nerve.
    • Major Muscles:
      • Masseter: Closes the jaw.
      • Temporalis: Largest and strongest muscle for closure.
      • Digastricus: Opens the jaw (assisted by gravity).

    Muscles of Facial Expression

    • Typically thin and innervated by the facial nerve.
    • Key Muscles:
      • Platysma: Draws mouth caudally.
      • Buccinator: Draws cheeks against teeth.
      • Levator Nasolabialis: Raises upper lip.

    Flexors of the Shoulder

    • Infraspinatus: Stabilizes shoulder; may abduct and flex.
    • Teres Major: Strong flexor of the shoulder joint.
    • Latissimus Dorsi: Broadest back muscle; aids in shoulder flexion.

    Adductors of the Shoulders

    • Pectoral Muscles: Strong adductors of the forelimb; consist of superficial and deep categories.
    • Coracobrachialis: Extensor of the shoulder joint despite its position suggesting flexion.

    Muscles Acting on the Elbow

    • Muscles function either as flexors or extensors.
    • In quadrupeds, extensors are generally stronger due to weight-bearing function.

    Muscles of the Pelvic Limb

    • Hip Joint Extensors:
      • Hamstring Muscles: Chief extensors; include biceps femoris, semitendinosus, semimembranosus.
      • Middle Gluteal: Strong hip extensor.

    Flexors and Abductors of the Hip

    • Iliopsoas: Strongest pelvic girdle muscle.
    • Sartorius: Strap-like muscle aiding in hip movement.
    • Abductors: Include deep gluteal and tensor fasciae latae, with varying strength and attachment characteristics.
