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.
