Marieb & Mitchell: Exercise 15

Martini: Chapter 11

• muscle– fascicles

• fibers

• fibers of a single fascicle always parallel

• fascicles of a muscle can be arranged in various ways

Organization of Skeletal Muscle Fibers

Muscles are classified by how the fascicles are organized

1. Parallel (e.g., biceps brachii muscle)• most common arrangement

2. Convergent (e.g.,pectoralis muscle)• fascicles fan or triangle shaped, converge to attach

Muscles are classified by how the fascicles are organized

3. Pennate (unipennate, bipennate and multipennate)• fasicles form angle toward tendon

4. Circular (e.g.,orbicularis oris)• sphincter, contracts to reduce diameter of opening

Origins and Insertions

• The ends of skeletal muscles are always attached to other structures– fixed end is called ORIGIN

• usually attached to bone or cartilage

– movable end is called INSERTION• usually proximal to insertion

How are muscles named?

1. location in the body • e.g., temporalis muscle

2. Origin and Insertion• first part = origin, 2nd part = insertion

3. Fascicle Organization• e.g., Rectus means “straight”• e.g., transverse means “across”• e.g., oblique means “oblique angle”

How are muscles named?

4. Relative Position• e.g., superficialis, internus, lateralis, etc…

5. Structural Characteristics (shape and size)• e.g., deltoid, rhomboid, major, longus, etc…

6. Action• e.g., abductor, extensor, rotator, etc…

Muscular Actions

• Agonists (prime mover)– responsible for a particular movement

• Antagonist– against movement of agonist

• Synergists– aid agonists, stabilize an action

• Fixators– specialized synergists– immobilize the origin of agonist so all tension is

exerted at the insertion point

cartilage of ribs 4-10, lumbar

vertebrae– action: expands thoracic

cavity, compresses abdominopelvic cavity

process– action: depresses ribs,

compresses abdomen, flexes vertebral column

Muscles of the Trunk and Back

• Trapezius– origin: midline of neck

and back– insertion: clavicles and

scapular spines– action: elevation,

depression, rotation, adduction of scapula, extension of head

Muscles of the Trunk and Back

• Rhomboid Major– origin: T2-T5 spinous

processes– insertion: vertebral

border of scapula– action: adduction of

scapula

Muscles of the Trunk and Back

• Rhomboid Minor– origin: C7 and T1

spinous process– insertion: vertebral

border of scapula– action: adduction of

scapula

Muscles of the Trunk and Back

• Levator Scapulae– origin: C1-4 transverse

process– insertion: vertebral

border of scapula– action: elevates scapula

Muscles of the Trunk and Back

• Pectoralis Minor– origin: anterior surface of

ribs 3-5– insertion: coracoid

process of scapula– action: depresses and

contracts scapular end of clavicle (in complement with subclavius muscle)

Muscles of the Trunk and Back

• Serratus Anterior– origin: ribs– insertion: scapula– action: abducts scapula,

swings shoulder anteriorly
