Important Skeletal Muscles

Warm Up

Define & give an example of each of the following. Prime mover Synergist Antagonist Fixator muscles

Name the muscles of the Quadriceps Group

Name the muscles of Hamstring Group

Warm Up

Define & give an example of a muscle that does each of the following. Prime mover-provides most of the force for a

movement, forearm flexion, biceps brachii. Synergist-assists, i.e.contract at same time as

prime movers, and move the joint the same direction. Brachialis.

Antagonist-muscle that extends the prime mover. Triceps brachii is antagonist for biceps.

Fixator muscles-stabilize a joint. Deltoid.

Name the muscles of the Quadriceps Group Rectus femoris Vastus medialis Vastus lateralis Vastus intermedius

Name the muscles of Hamstring Group Semitendenosus Semimembranosus Biceps femoris

Important Skeletal Muscles

When we talk about muscle actions of the following muscles, we are referring to the action of the prime mover.

Remember that muscles work

together. Prime mover Synergist Antagonist Fixator muscles

ZYGOMATICUS MAJOR

ORBICULARIS ORIS

BUCCINATOR

ORBICULARIS OCULI: Closes Eyes (Blinking)

ZYGOMATICUS MAJOR: Pulls Corners of Mouth Upward (Laughing)

ORBICULARIS ORIS: Puckers Mouth (Kissing)

BUCCINATOR: Presses Lips and Cheeks Against Teeth (Blowing, Whistling)

Functions of Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

All Four of These Muscles Have the Following Functions: Compress (Tighten) Abdomen Rotate Trunk Laterally Abdominal muscles play important roles in posture;

they pull pelvis upward which flattens lumbar curve of the spine.

They also aid in defecation, forced expiration,

childbirth, etc.

Rectus abdominus flexes the trunk of the body.
