Concept explainers
(a)
To determine:
The muscle used to pull the stalled car.
Introduction:
Muscles of the pectoral girdle are of two types, anterior group muscle and posterior group muscle. The anterior group contains two muscles, pectoralis minor and serratus anterior. The pectoralis minor arises from the 3-5 ribs, while, the serratus anterior arises from most of the ribs. The posterior group contains three deep muscles, the rhomboid minor, the rhomboid major, and levator scapulae.
(b)
To determine:
The muscle used in paddling the canoe.
Introduction:
Muscles of the pectoral girdle are of two types, anterior group muscle and posterior group muscle. The anterior group contains two muscles, pectoralis minor and serratus anterior. The pectoralis minor arises from the 3-5 ribs, while, the serratus anterior arises from most of the ribs. The posterior group contains three deep muscles, the rhomboid minor, the rhomboid major, and levator scapulae.
(c)
To determine:
The muscle that is used in squaring the muscle during military action.

(d)
To determine:
The muscle used to lift the shoulder to carry a heavy box on it.

- List all of the muscles that produce upward rotation of the scapula?arrow_forwardThe right levator scapula is contracted with the intent to only elevate the scapula, no other actions at the scapula are desired. Please complete the following two part question What are all of the muscles that could act as a synergist/neutralizer during this motion? What muscle would be the best option for a synergist/neutralizer and justify your answer?arrow_forwardDescribe the origin, insertion, action, and innervation of the muscles of the thorax that move the pectoral girdle.arrow_forward
- What muscles are most important to the phalangeal flexor mechanism?arrow_forwardWhat are two factors which allow the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles to generate greater plantar flexion torque than all the other muscles capable of plantarflexion?arrow_forwardmagine you just caught your 5-year old drawing on the dining room wall. As you questioned him, he shrugged his shoulders, smiled, and began sucking his thumb. Which of the following muscles did he use? 1) zygomaticus 2) trapezius 3) orbicularis oris 4) gluteus medius 5) orbicularis oculi 6) temporalisarrow_forward
- Why is the rector femoris the only muscle of the quadriceps femoris group to have an action on the hip joint?arrow_forward* These muscles (and subscapularis) form the rotator cuff which is a critical stabilizing element for the glenohumeral joint (shoulder joint). Thus, one action for each of these muscles is to stabilize the shoulder joint. Examine the rotator cuff muscles in the cadaver and see if you can determine where the tendons incompletely surround the head of the humerus. What clinical significance does this have?arrow_forwardB D E Using the Figure above, match the following: 12) Trapezius muscle. 13) Teres major muscle. 14) The latissimus dorsi. 15) Rotates scapula. 16) Rhomboid minor and Rhomboid major. | 17) Elevates and adducts scapula.arrow_forward
- Most of the muscles attached to the scapula are fixators, but a few do contribute to arm movement. Compare and contrast two fixators of the scapula with two muscles attached to the scapula that contribute to arm movement?arrow_forwardWhich of the following muscles resist the actions of the supination of the forearm Bicep brachii Brachialis Corabraschialis Pronator teres Which of the following muscles causes flexion at the wrist? Flexor carpi radialis Extensor carpi radialis longus Extensor digitorum Extensor carpi ulnaris If a scapula is protracted which of the following muscles is in a shortened position? Pectoralis minor Middle trapezius Infraspinatus rhomboid The cyclic pattern of the engagement of the muscle and joints of the body during walking is known as the Ambulation cycle Gallop cycle Gait cycle Motor cyclearrow_forwardMuscles that Move the Forearm Origin Insertion Action Triceps Brachii* Biceps Brachii* Brachialis* Brachioradialis* Supraspinatus Spine of scapula Deltoid (cuti Greater tuberole of humerus Intraspinatus Teres minor Subscapularis - Teres major Biceps brachii Long head Tricepe brachi Coracobrachialis Lateral head Long head Short head Latiosimue dorsi -Humerus O = origin | = insertion Brachialis Oleoranon of una Anconeus (b) Posterior muscles that act on the arm (humerus)arrow_forward
