Muscles of the Body
• Skeletal muscles
• Produce movements
• Blinking of eye, standing on tiptoe, swallowing food, etc.
• General principles of leverage
• Muscles act with or against each other • Criteria used in naming muscles
Arrangement of Fascicles in Muscles
• Skeletal muscles—consist of fascicles
• Fascicles—arranged in different patterns
• Fascicle arrangement—tells about action of a muscle Arrangement of Fascicles in Muscles
• Types of fascicle arrangement
• Parallel—fascicles run parallel to the long axis of the muscle • Strap-like—sternocleidomastoid
Arrangement of Fascicles in Muscles
• Types of fascicle arrangement
• Convergent
• Origin of the muscle is broad
• Fascicles converge toward the tendon of insertion • Example—pectoralis major
Arrangement of Fascicles in Muscles
• Types of fascicle arrangement
• Pennate
• Unipennate—fascicles insert into one side of the tendon • Bipennate—fascicles insert into the tendon from both sides • Multipennate—fascicles insert into one large tendon from all
sides
Arrangement of Fascicles in Muscles
• Circular
• Fascicles are arranged in concentric rings • Surround external body openings
• Sphincter—general name for a circular muscle • Examples
• Orbicularis oris and orbicularis oculi
Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Movement of skeletal muscles involves leverage
• Lever—a rigid bar that moves • Fulcrum—a fixed point
• Effort—applied force • Load—resistance
Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Bones—act as levers • Joints—act as fulcrums
• Muscle contraction—provides effort
• Applies force where muscle attaches to bone
• Load—bone, overlying tissue, and anything lifted
Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Levers allow a given effort to
• Move a load farther
• Mechanical advantage
• Moves a large load over small distances
• Mechanical disadvantage
• Allows a load to be moved over a large distance Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• First-class lever
• Effort applied at one end • Load is at the opposite end
• Fulcrum is located between load and effort Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Examples—seesaws, scissors, and lifting your head off your chest
Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Second-class lever
• Effort applied at one end • Fulcrum is at the opposite end
• Load is between the effort and fulcrum
• Examples—wheelbarrow or standing on tiptoe • An uncommon type of lever in the body • Work at a mechanical advantage
Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Third-class lever
• Effort is applied between the load and the fulcrum • Work speedily
• Always at a mechanical disadvantage
Lever Systems: Bone-Muscle Relationships
• Most skeletal muscles are third-class levers
• Example—biceps brachii • Fulcrum—the elbow joint
• Force—exerted on the proximal region of the radius • Load—the distal part of the forearm
Organization Scheme Based on Embryonic Development
• Embryonic origin • General function
• Muscles develop from mesoderm
• Myotomes • Somitomeres
•
The first seven myotomes of the head• Splanchnic mesoderm
Development and Basic Organization of the Muscles Organization Scheme Based on Embryonic Development
• Muscles organized into four groups
• Musculature of the visceral organs • Pharyngeal arch muscles
• Axial muscles • Limb muscles
Organization Scheme Based on Embryonic Development
• Musculature of the visceral organs
• Includes smooth and cardiac muscle • Develops from splanchnic mesoderm
• Pharyngeal arch muscles
• Includes
• Skeletal muscles of the pharynx • Muscles of the head and neck
• Develop from the fourth to seventh somitomeres Pharyngeal Arch Muscles
Axial Muscles
• Lie anterior and posterior to the body axis • Muscles of the
• Thorax, abdomen, and pelvis
• Many muscles of the
• Neck and some of the head
• Function to move the trunk and maintain posture
Axial Muscles
• Develop from myotomes and some somitomeres
• Ventral regions of myotomes—muscles of the trunk and neck • Respiratory muscles
• Anterior abdominal wall muscles • Muscles of the pelvic floor
Axial Muscles Limb Muscles
• Limb muscles arise from lateral parts of nearby myotomes • Extensors
• Muscle mass dorsal to limb bones
• Flexors
• Muscle mass ventral to limb bones Limb Muscles
Muscle Actions and Interactions
• A muscle cannot reverse the movement it produces • Another muscle must undo the action
• Muscles with opposite actions lie on opposite sides of a joint
Muscle Actions and Interactions
• Prime mover (agonist)
• Has major responsibility for a certain movement
• Antagonist
• Opposes or reverses a movement
• Synergist—helps the prime mover • By adding extra force
• By reducing undesirable movements • Fixator
• A type of synergist that holds a bone firmly in place Muscle Compartments of the Limbs
• Dense fibrous connective tissue divides limb muscles into
compartments
• Muscles in opposing compartments are
• Agonist and antagonist pairs
• Each compartment is innervated by a single nerve
• The upper limb has anterior and posterior compartments
• Anterior arm compartment muscles • Flex the shoulder or arm
• Innervation is the musculocutaneous nerve • Anterior forearm compartment muscles
• Flex the wrist and digits
• Innervation is the median or ulnar nerve
Muscle Compartments of the Thigh
• Posterior compartment muscles
• Extend the hip and flex the knee
• Innervation is the tibial branch of the sciatic nerve
• Anterior compartment muscles
• Flex the hip and extend the knee • Innervation is the femoral nerve
• Medial compartment
• Adduct the thigh
• Innervation is the obturator nerve
Muscle Compartments of the Thigh and Leg Compartments of the Leg
• Posterior compartment muscles
• Contains digital and plantar flexors • Innervation is the tibial nerve
• Anterior compartment muscles
• Contains digital extensors and dorsiflexors • Innervation is the deep fibular nerve
• Lateral compartment muscles
• Plantar flex and evert the foot
• Innervation is the superficial fibular nerve Naming the Skeletal Muscles
• Location
• Example—the brachialis is located on the arm
• Shape
• Example—the deltoid is triangular
• Maximus, minimus, and longus indicate size • Example—gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus Naming the Skeletal Muscles
• Direction of fascicles and muscle fibers
• Name tells direction in which fibers run
• Example—rectus abdominis and transversus abdominis
• Location of attachments—name reveals point of origin and insertion
• Example—brachioradialis Naming the Skeletal Muscles
• Number of origins
• Two, three, or four origins
• Indicated by the words biceps, triceps, and quadriceps
• Action
• The action is part of the muscle’s name • Indicates type of muscle movement
• Flexor, extensor, adductor, or abductor
