Question
Answer
Origin: Occipital Bone and Upper Ligamentum Nuchae   Trapezius I  
🗑
Insertion: Lateral and posterior 1/3rd of Clavicle   Trapezius I  
🗑
Action: From above, elevate the shoulder girdle; From below, hyperextend the neck   Trapezius I  
🗑
Origin: ligamentum nuchae   Trapezius II  
🗑
Insertion: top of the acromion process   Trapezius II  
🗑
Action: Force couple with Trapezius IV to upwardly rotate the scapula   Trapezius II  
🗑
Origin: T1-T4   Trapezius III  
🗑
Insertion: Upper margin of the spine of the scapula   Trapezius III  
🗑
Action: Adduction of the scapula   Trapezius III  
🗑
Origin: T5-T12   Trapezius IV  
🗑
Insertion: Root of the spine of the scapula   Trapezius IV  
🗑
Action: Upward rotation of the scapula with Trapezius II; alone- depress the scapula   Trapezius IV  
🗑
Origin: Posterior surface of ilium between crest, posterior gluteal line and anterior gluteal line   Gluteus Medius  
🗑
Insertion: Oblique ridge and dorso-lateral surface of the greater trochanter   Gluteus Medius  
🗑
Action: Abducts with gluteus minimus; posterior fibers ER   Gluteus Medius  
🗑
Origin: Lateral condyle and upper 2/3rds of the lateral surface of the tibia   Tibialis Anterior  
🗑
Insertion: Plantar surface of base of the 1st metatarsal and medial surface of 1st cuneiform   Tibialis Anterior  
🗑
Action: Dorsi-flexion of ankle; supination (Adduction and Inversion) of foot   Tibialis Anterior  
🗑
Origin: Iliac crest and iliolumbar ligaments (ligaments connects iliac crest w/ transverse processes L4-L5)   Quadratus Lumborum  
🗑
Insertion: Last rib and the transverse processes of the upper four lumbar vertebrae.   Quadratus Lumborum  
🗑
Action: Bilateral they depress the ribs; one side alone produces ipsilateral flexion or stabilizes the pelvis when the ipsilateral foot is off the floor.   Quadratus Lumborum  
🗑
Origin: Transverse and costal processes of C2-C7   Scalenes - Anterior, Middle and Posterior  
🗑
Insertion: Superior surface of rib 1   Scalenes - Anterior and Middle  
🗑
Insertion: Superior surface of rib 2   Posterior Scalene  
🗑
Action: From above, elevates the ribs; From below, forward flex neck; one side alone contract to ipsilaterally flex the neck.   Scalenes - Anterior, Middle and Posterior  
🗑
Origin: External and inferior borders of ribs 5-12   External Abdominal Oblique  
🗑
Insertion: Via aponeurosis of the rectus abdominus to the linea alba from the ribs to the pubis, and anterior 1/2 of iliac crest   External Abdominal Oblique  
🗑
Action: Together - Compresses the abdomen and flexes the trunk; one side (force couple with contralateral internal oblique) acting from above contralaterally rotates and flexes lumbar vertebra to lift pelvis; Below rotates and flexes trunk.   External Abdominal Oblique  
🗑
Origin: Inner margins of the pubis   Pubococcygeus  
🗑
Insertion: Coccyx and median raphe (ligament where muscles attach to each other)   Pubococcygeus  
🗑
Action: Assists iliococcygeus and coccygeus to elevate and retract anus; medial fibers from the pubovaginalis and puboanalis and act as the sphincter urethrae   Pubococcygeus  
🗑
Origin: Outer surface or upper 9 ribs at the side of the chest.   Serratus Anterior  
🗑
Insertion: Anterior surface of the upper veterbal border through inferior angle of the scapula.   Serratus Anterior  
🗑
Action: Upper 1-4, 5 bands attaching to upper vertebral border abduct the scapula; Lower (4, 5-9) attached to inferior angle upwardly rotate; Together they hold the vertebral border of the scapula against the ribs   Serratus Anterior  
🗑
