List the muscles described in this lecture and describe their general attachments to the skeleton.
• Understand the relationship between muscle location, muscle contraction and joint movement.
• Determine the ‘concentric action’ of these muscles.
Which muscle has two origins on the scapula, 3 bodies, and one insertion to the humerus?
Answer
Biceps brachii
Biceps femoris
Deltoid
Triceps brachii
Question 2
Question
The middle belly of the deltoid contributes most to adduction of the arm.
Answer
True
False
Question 3
Question
Choose the incorrect statement.
EXCLUDE the knee joint for this question!
Answer
A muscle placed anterior over a joint allows flexion.
A muscle placed posterior to a joint allows extension.
A muscle medial to the joint allows abduction.
Question 4
Question
It is the triceps brachii which allows supination at the radioulnar joint.
Answer
True
False
Question 5
Question
Choose the correct statement about the triceps brachii.
Answer
It originates from the scapula and humerus, and inserts on the radius.
It originates from the scapula and humerus, and inserts on the ulna.
It originates from the scapula and clavicle, and inserts on the radius.
It originates from the scapula and clavicle, and inserts on the ulna.
Question 6
Question
Which muscle allows rotation of the hip and originates from the vertebrae and hip?
Answer
Iliopsoas
Gluteus Maximus
Biceps femoris
Semimembranosus
Question 7
Question
The gluteus maximus originates from the [blank_start]sacrum and the pelvis[blank_end], and inserts on the [blank_start]iliotibial band[blank_end]. It is the main contributor for [blank_start]extension[blank_end] of the leg/over the hip joint.
Answer
sacrum and the pelvis
sacrum and the femur
iliotibial band
tibia
femur
pelvis
extension
flexion
Question 8
Question
The quadriceps femoris originates from the [blank_start]pelvis and femur[blank_end], attaches to the [blank_start]tibia[blank_end] via the [blank_start]patellar tendon[blank_end], and allows extension of the knee.
Answer
pelvis and femur
femur
sacrum and pelvis
tibia
fibula
patellar tendon
iliotibial tendon
Question 9
Question
The hamstrings originate from the pelvis and femur, and insert in one place, on the tibia.
Answer
True
False
Question 10
Question
Where does the tibialis anterior insert and which motion does it elicit?
Answer
Medial tarsals, plantarflexion
Medial tarsals, dorsiflexion
Calcaneus tendon, plantarflexion
Calcaneus tendon, dorsiflexion
Question 11
Question
The triceps surae orginates from the femur, tibia, and fibula.
