BIOL243 – HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY I Charles Smith, PhD CSCS HUMAN ANATOMY & PHYSIOLOGY Ch. 10 – Skeletal Muscle System IDENTIFYING SKELETAL MUSCLES 3 Functional Groups: 1. Agonists “Prime movers” Produce a specific movement 2. Antagonists Oppose the agonist’s movement(s) Typically located on the side opposite their agonist e.g., the triceps (posterior) are antagonists to the biceps (anterior) 3. Synergists “accessory” muscles Work with the agonists Add extra force to same movement Fixators: immobilize bone or muscle origin rather than enhance agonist’s action(s) Helps for stability These groupings are non-exclusive A muscle may be the agonist for one movement… …the antagonist to another …and/or a synergist to yet another movement HOW TO NAME YOUR MUSCLES Location To what bone or body region is this muscle associated? e.g., temporalis muscle found over the temporal bone Shape Does this muscle have a distinctive shape? e.g., the deltoid muscle shaped like a triangle; the rhomboids like a rhombus Size Maximus = Biggest; Minimus = Smallest Longus = Longer; Brevis = Shorter Fiber or Fascicle Direction Rectus = fibers run straight Transversus = fibers run @ right angles Oblique = fibers run at angles to an imaginary axis Number of Origins e.g., Biceps have two origins; Triceps have three HOW TO NAME YOUR MUSCLES Location of Attachments Based upon their origin and insertion points (origin named 1st) Origin: attachment to the immovable (or less movable) bone Insertion: attachment to the movable bone All muscle actions serve to bring the insertion point closer to the origination e.g., sternocleidomastoid (SCM) muscle originates at the sternum & clavicle then inserts at the mastoid process Muscle Action What does this muscle do? e.g., flexors, extensors, abductors Some of these criteria even get combined e.g., Extensor carpi radialis longus → the long muscle on the radius that extends the wrist Basically, use the name to help reverse engineer CLASSING BY FASCICLE DIRECTIONS The arrangements in the fascicles give us the muscles striations Gives muscles different shapes and functions Can also be used to help decide what the function is At least along what plane the muscle’s action will take place Common Patterns: Circular: concentric rings (i.e., orbicularis orbis) Convergent: broad, converging toward a single tendon (i.e., pec major) Parallel: parallel to the long axis (i.e., sartorius) Pennate: spindle-shaped with parallel fibers (i.e., rectus femoris; deltoids) Fusiform: large muscle belly, tapered ends near tendon (i.e., biceps brachii) LEARNING SKELETAL MUSCLES The human body has >600 muscles Ideally, one would learn each muscle’s: Description: where it is located relative to other muscles Origin & Insertion Points: where it attaches; often crossing a joint Action(s): what movement does its contraction cause Innervation: what nerve supplies it with motor stimulus For now, we will focus on descriptions & actions More than that in a single, introductory A & P course is…not feasible/helpful 1. Use what’s covered in lab to help tie things together Tie location to description Tie location to action(s); attachments to action(s) 2. Reverse engineer from the muscle’s name Can help, but limited; some memorization still required 3. When in doubt, find the muscle on yourself FACIAL EXPRESSION MUSCLES Muscles different because they insert into skin (not bone) Important for non-verbal communication Body Language Bell’s Palsy: hemiparalysis of these muscles Zygomaticus major: raises lateral corners of mouth (i.e., smiling) Orbicularis oris: closes & protrudes lips (i.e., puckering, kissing, whistling) Orbicularis oculi: closes eye (i.e., blinking, squinting); pulls eyebrows inferiorly (i.e., furrowed brow) Mentalis: wrinkles the chin; protrudes lower lip (i.e., pouty lips) Currugator supercili: pulls eyebrows medially & inferiorly; wrinkles eyebrows vertically (i.e., angry eyebrow) Epicranius (Occipitofrontalis): frontal belly raises eyebrows & wrinkles forehead skin horizontally (i.e., surprise) Platysma: tenses skin of the neck MASTICATION & NECK MUSCLES Mastication (Chewing) Masseter & Temporalis: Jaw closure Medial & Lateral pterygoids: deep muscles; grinding movements Anterior Neck Sternocleidomastoid (SCM): forward flex neck; laterally flex neck ipsilaterally (same side) & rotate neck contralaterally (opposite side) Scalenes: laterally flex & rotate neck; elevate first two ribs for inspiration Posterior Neck Trapezius: originate on occipital bone; stabilize, elevate, retract, and rotate scapula Levator scapulae: originate on C1 – C4; elevate and retract scapula SPINAL MUSCLES Erector Spinae group: 3 muscles which collectively act to keep back erect & extend spinal column Will laterally flex spinal column ipsilaterally if only activated unilaterally All three run length of spine, in totality, but can have subsections at each spinal segment (capitis, cervicis, thoracis, lumborum) Iliocostalis: most lateral Subgroups: cervicis, thoracis, lumborum Longissimus: intermediate Subgroups: capitis, cervicis, thoracis Spinalis: most medial Subgroups: thoracis & cervicis Quadratus lumborum (QL): similar actions to erector spinae THORACIC MUSCLES Respiratory Muscles: Diaphragm: inspiration; depresses to expand thoracic cavity Its contraction (depression) and relaxation (elevation) dictate respiratory rate External Intercostals: inspiration; elevates rib cage to expand thoracic cavity Internal Intercostals: expiration; depresses rib cage to compress thoracic cavity Abdominals: Rectus Abdominis: forward flex and rotate lumbar vertebrae; stabilize pelvis during walking; aka your 6-pack (well really….8-pack) External Oblique: forward flex lumbar vertebrae; aid back muscles to laterally flex trunk ipsilaterally & rotate trunk contralaterally Internal Oblique: same as external oblique Transversus Abdominis: deepest abdominal muscle; compress abdominal contents & stabilize spine SHOULDER GIRDLE & UPPER ARM (ANTERIOR) Pectoralis major: adducts & internally (medially) rotates shoulder Deltoid Anterior deltoid: flexes & internally (medially) rotates shoulder Pectoralis major Medial deltoid: abducts shoulder Biceps brachii: flexes elbow & supinates forearm Serratus Anterior Brachialis: flexes elbow Biceps brachii Brachialis Brachioradialis: assists in elbow flexion;
