Body Structure and Processes - Muscular System PT3 - TYPES -

QuestionAnswer
muscles of pectoral girdle? trapezius rhomboid pectoralis minor serratus levator
trapezius muscles? 2 which cover the back, neck and base of skull diamond shape and perform a large variety of movements
trapezius muscles cover what? back, neck and base of skull
shape of trapezius muscles? diamond
rhomboid muscles? 2 which originate at cervical vertebrae and insert at scapula allowing shimmying and are covered by trapezius muscles
rhomboid muscles and levator scapulae originate where? cervical vertebrae
rhomboid muscles and levator insert where? scapula
levator muscles? 2 levator scapulae muscles insert at scapula and originate at cervical vertebrae allow shrugging and covered by trapezius muscles
which muscles originate at cervical vertebrae and insert and scapula rhomboid and levator
difference between rhomboid and levator muscles? rhomboid allows shimmying and levator allows shrugging
serratus anterior muscle? chest muscle originates on anterior surface of ribs and inserts at border between thoracic vertebrae and scapula allowing you to swing shoulder
serratus anterior muscles allows what movement? swing shoulder
serratus anterior originates where? anterior surface of ribs
serratus anterior inserts where? border between thoracic vertebrae and scapula
chest muscle? serratus anterior
pectoralis minor? originates at rib and inserts at coracoid process of scapula allows you to hunch
pectoralis minor originates where? ribs
pectoralis minor allows what? hunch
pectoralis minor inserts where? coracoid process of scapula
deltoid? abduct arm originate at lateral end of clavicle and insert at deltoid tuberosity of humerus
deltoid movement? abduct arm
deltoid originates where? lateral end of clavicle
deltoid inserts where? deltoid tuberosity of humerus
teres major? often works with latissimus dorsi to help adduct the arm and originates at scapula and inserts at top of humerus
teres major usually works with what for arm adduction latissimus dorsi
teres major usually works with latissimus dorsi for what? arm adduction
teres major, subscapularis, teres minor, infraspinatus and supraspinatus inserts where? top of humerus
which muscle originates at scapula? teres major, teres minor, infraspinatus and subscapularis and supraspinatus
name the rotator cuff muscles supraspinatus infraspinatus teres minor subscapularis
how many rotator cuff muscles are there? 4
why are rotator cuff muscles important? essential for shoulder stability and wide range of arm movements work together to keep head of humerus firmly in shallow socket
supraspinatus? assists deltoids at start of abduction and originate at scapula insert at top of humerus
subscapularis? assists with internal rotation of arm and originate at scapula and insert at top of humerus
infraspinatus? assists with external rotation of a rm originates at scapula and inserts at top of humerus
which muscles assists with external rotation of arm? infraspinatus and teres minor
which muscle assists with internal rotation of arm? subscapularis
which muscle assists deltoid at start of abduction supraspinatus
teres minor? help with external rotation of arm originates at scapula and insert at top of humerus
pectoralis major? originate at 2 places (clavicle and sternum and top six ribs) produces flexion at shoulder and inserts at humerus
how many points of origin does the pectoralis major have? 2
where does the pectoralis major insert? humerus
movement at pectoralis major? produces flexion at shoulder eg hands over head
points of origin in pectoralis major? clavicle and sternum and top six ribs
clavicle and sternum and top six ribs is what? the 2 points of origin in pectoralis major
latissimus dorsi? produce extension at shoulder originate at thoracic vertebrae and insert at middle of humerus
movement at latissimus dorsi? extension at shoulder eg return arm to resting position after flexion
origin of latissimus dorsi? thoracic vertebrae
insertion of latissimus dorsi? middle of humerus
muscles that move the arm? pectoralis major deltoid teres major latissimus dorsi
muscles that move the forearm and wrist all originate on the humerus except? biceps brachii and triceps brachii
where do biceps brachii and triceps brachii originate and insert? originate on scapula and insert at ulna/radius
muscles that move what all originate on humerus except triceps brachii and biceps brachii? forearm and wrist
what is responsible for flexion of elbow supination of forearm? biceps brachii
what is responsible for extension of elbow pronation of forearm? triceps brachii
biceps brachii? two heads (long and short) originate at scapula insert at radial tuberosity on radius where heads converge at belly
forearm and wrist? triceps brachii and biceps brachii, brachialis and brachioradialis
insertion point of biceps brachii? radial tuberosity on radius
triceps brachii? 3 heads (long head) where long head originates at scapula and medial and lateral head originate at humerus and insert at ulna
what creates flexion at the elbow? brachialis and brachioradialis
brachialis and brachioradialis compared to tricep and bicep brachii do what? oppose and counter extension
brachialis? provides 50% elbow flexion originates at distal humerus and inserts at ulna
what has the origin of distal humerus and inserts at ulna? brachialis
brachioradialis? originates at lower humerus and inserts at radius
what has the origin of distal humerus and inserts at radius? brachioradialis
