A. Jeff was trying to toning his abdomen. However, he over-exerted himself and started to feel severe pain whenever he twisted his trunk (from left to right). If he simply did the sit-up without twisting his trunk, he did not feel the same degree of pain. Explain which muscle was damaged, and briefly explain why.
B. When you open your mouth (such as when saying Ahh… at a physical exam ), which muscles are contracting, and which muscles are relaxing? How about when you are clenching your teeth or biting hard into a nut, which muscles are contracting, and which muscles are relaxing?

- Jason is a 21-year-old university student presenting with pain in the back of his right thigh. The pain started yesterday during soccer game. Jason went to kick the ball and felt an immediate 'pull' in the back of his right upper thigh. He had to limp off the field and reported mild pain in his right hamstring muscles with most active movements involving knee flexion and extension. Jason can still walk around without too much discomfort. b) Suggest what type of injury Jason has sustained and discuss what structures are typically damaged in muscle strain?arrow_forwardA baseball pitcher injured a rotator cuff muscle. When he abducts and laterally rotates his shoulder, it dislocates anteriorly.

- Thirty minutes after Mary has completed a 25-km race, she begins to notice severe muscle soreness and stiffness in her legs. Her urine is dark colored. She wonders whether she may have damaged her muscles during the race. She visits the ER, and the doctor orders several blood tests. What kind of blood tests can help determine whether muscle damage has occurred?arrow_forwardA certain anatomy student decided that his physique left much to be desired. He joined a health club and began to “pump iron” three times a week. After 3 months of training, during which he was able to lift increasingly heavy weights, his arm and chest muscles became much larger. Explain what happened to the fibers in these muscles.arrow_forwardExtensor digitorum is a multi-tendoned muscle that controls the fingers and could be deemed an intrinsic muscle because the muscle itself is in the arm a.)

- 1) Describe the different criteria that contribute to how skeletal muscles are named. For example you can use the names of the muscles below to predict their location, action or appearance: Abdominal external oblique, Trapezius, Flexor carpi ulnaris, Gastrocnemius 2) Describe the muscles of the anterior abdominal wall. 3) Why are the muscles of the face different from typical skeletal muscle?arrow_forwardOne of Jeremy’s spinal nerves, C4, was destroyed due to a sport injury. Could any of Jeremy’s muscles be completely paralyzed because of this injury?arrow_forwardThis muscle is the major “antagonist” of the muscles that flex the forearm. (What is an “antagonist?”)This muscle affects the scapula, and would be involved with “shrugging” the shoulders (shrugging the shoulders is lifting them up in an “I don’t know…” posture).This muscle could bring the arm downward in a power stroke, as if to strike a blow.arrow_forward
