Anatomy of the Muscular System

Introduction

There are over 600 muscles in the body Muscles make up 40-50% of our weight Muscle helps to determine the form and contours of

our body

2

Structure of Skeletal Muscle

Epimysium Layer of connective tissue that surrounds the entire muscle

Perimysium Separates the muscle into fasicles

Fasicle A group of muscle fibers

Endomysium Surrounds an individual muscle fiber

Tendon Connect muscle to bone

3

Structure of Skeletal Muscle

• Sometimes muscles are connected to each other by broad sheets of connective tissue called aponeuroses.

4

Types of Fiber Arrangements

• Parallel Fibers- run across

• Convergent- converge to a narrow attachment

• Oblique- diagonal– Pennate- one feather– Bipennate- two feathers

• Direction of fibers important for strength and range of motion

7

Fiber Arrangements

Skeletal Muscle Actions A. Origin and Insertion

1. The immovable end of a muscle is the origin, while the movable end is the insertion; contraction pulls the insertion toward the origin.

2. Some muscles have more than one insertion or origin.

Muscle Actions

• Prime mover- primary muscle being moved

• Antagonist- muscles that oppose the prime movers

• Synergist- (Syn= together Erg= work) muscles that contract along with the prime mover

• Fixator Muscles- joint stabilizers

11

How Muscles Are Named

• Direction of Muscle Fibers– Rectus- parallel to midline

• Location– Temporalis near Temporal Bone

• Number of Origins– Bicep or Tricep

• Point of Attachment– Sternocleidomastoid muscle

12

How Muscles are Named

• Function– Adductor– Abductor– Flexor – Exensor

• Shape– Deltoid (triangular)

13

How Muscles Are Named

• Size– Maximus– Medius– Minimus– Longus – Brevis

14

Head and Neck Muscles

• Two Large Categories– Facial Muscles

• Unique because at least one of their attachments is to the deep layers of the skin

• Allows for facial expression

– Chewing Muscles

15

Facial Muscles

• Frontalis– Covers frontal bone– Raise eyebrows and wrinkle forehead

• Occipitalis– Covers the posterior aspect of the skull and

pulls the scalp back posteriorly

• Epicranial Aponeurosis– connects the Frontalis and Occipitalis

17

Facial Muscles

• Obicularis Oris– Circular muscles of the lips– Closes the mouth– Protrudes the lips– Called the kissing muscle

• Obicularis Oculi– Circular muscle around the eyes– Allows you to close your eyes, squint, blink

and wink19

Facial Muscles

• Buccinator– Flattens the cheek to whistle or blow trumpet– Also a chewing muscle

• Zygomaticus– Smiling muscle that raises the corners of the

mouth upwards

20

Chewing Muscles

• Called muscles of mastication

• Buccinator belongs in this group

• Masseter– Closes jaw

• Temporalis– Lies over the temporal bone– Inserts into the mandible and acts as a

synergist of the masseter in closing the jaw

22

Neck Muscles

• Platysma– Covers the neck anterolateral

23

Neck Muscles

• Sternocleidomastoid Muscle– Two heads of origin

• Sternum and clavicle

– Inserts in the

mastoid process

of temporal bone

25

Neck Muscles

• Sternocleidomastoid Muscle– Both flex (angle is decreased) causes bowing

of head• Called the prayer muscles

– If only one is flexed, the head turns to the side

• In some difficult births, muscle can be injured and spasms develop– Called torticollis or wryneck

26

Trunk Muscles

• Anterior Muscles– Pectoralis Major

• Large fan muscle of the chest• Origin- from the sternum, shoulder girdle, and first

six ribs• Inserts proximal end of the humerus• Adducts and flexes the arm

– Pectoralis Minor• Under the pectoralis major

27

Anterior Trunk Muscles

• Intercostal Muscles– Found between the ribs

• External Intercostals– Elevates the rib cage for breathing

• Internal Intercostals– Depresses the rib cage for breathing

29

Anterior Trunk Muscles

• Diaphram– Large flat muscle that separates the thoracic

from the abdominal cavity

30

Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

• This group of muscles connects the rib cage and vertebral column to the pelvic girdle

• A band of tough connective tissue, the linea alba, extending from the xiphoid process to the symphysis pubis, serves as an attachment for certain abdominal wall muscles

31

Muscles of Abdominal Wall

•Rectus Abdominus•Outer layer•Runs from pubis to rib cage•Flexes vertebral column•Compresses abdominal cavity

Muscles of the Abdominal Wall

33

Muscles of Abdominal Wall• External Oblique

– Make up the lateral walls of the abdomen– Flex the vertebrae– Rotates the trunk – Bend the trunk laterally

• Internal Obliques– Fibers run at right angles to external oblique

• Transverse Abdominus– Parallel fibers

Muscles of the Pelvic Floor

• Muscles of pelvic floor support the pelvic cavity

• Diamond shaped outlet is called the perineum

35

Posterior Trunk Muscles

• Trapezius– Diamond shaped muscle of back– Shrug the shoulders– Hold head up– Adducts the arm

37


• Latissimus Dorsi– Large flat muscle of lower back– Originates in lower spine– Inserts at the distal end of the humerus– Extends and _____ the arm

39


• Erector Spinae– Deep muscles of the back

• Longissimus• Iliocostalis• Spinalis

– Powerful back extensors (erectors)– Can go into spasms and are a common

source of lower back pain

41

ADD

• Picture of Erector Spinae

42


• Deltoid– Triangle shoulder muscle– Inserts in the deltoid tuberosity of the

humerus– Multifunctional muscle– Abducts the arm

43

Muscles of the Upper Limb

• 6 muscles attach arm so lots of movement

• 4 muscles form a cap or cuff around shoulder joint- rotator cuff– Infraspinatus– Supraspinatus– Subscapularis– Teres minor

Muscles That Act On The Forearm

• Cause elbow flexion

• Biceps Brachii– Two origins- scapula coracoid and

superglenoid tuberosity– Inserts in the radial tuberosity– Supinates the forearm– “It turns the corkscrew and pulls the cork”

46

Muscles That Act on the Forearm

• Brachialis– Lies deep to the bicep muscle and helps with

flexion

• Brachioradialis– Weak muscle in the forearm

48

Muscles That Act On The Forearm

• Tricep Brachii– Has three heads– Is the prime mover of elbow extension– Atagonist of the bicep– Called the boxer’s muscle

51

Muscles that Move The Wrist, Hand, and Fingers

• Are located on the forearm

• Many intrinsic muscles– 8 separate muscles serve the thumb

• As a general rule, forearm names reflect their activities– Flexor carpi and flexor digitorum muscles

cause flexion of wrist and fingers

53

54

Muscles that Move the Wrist, Hand, and Fingers1. Movements of the hand are caused by

muscles originating from the distal humerus, and the radius and ulna.

2. Flexors include the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, palmaris longus, and flexor digitorum profundus.

3. Extensors include the extensor carpi radialis longus, extensor carpi radialis brevis, extensor carpi ulnaris, and

extensor digitorum.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

• Tendon sheath becomes inflamed and puts pressure on the median nerve

• Characterized by weakness, pain, and tingling in hand

57

Carpal Tunnel

58

Carpal Tunnel

59

Causes of Carpal Tunnel

• Repetitive movements– Playing piano– Typing– Swinging a hammer– Meat cutters– Quilting, cross-stitch, handicrafts– Some factory work

60

Carpal Tunnel Treatment

• Can be relieved with anti-inflammatory injections

• Can wear braces to help

• Use specially designed keyboards

61


• Permanent cure is surgical cutting or removing swollen tissue pressing on nerve

• Will come back if you continue to do the same tasks that caused it.

62


63

Muscles Of The Lower Limb

• Among the strongest muscles in the body

• Because pelvic girdle is composed of heavy, fused bone that allow little movement, no special group of muscles is necessary to stabilize it

• Muscle that move leg form the flesh of the thigh

• Muscles originating on leg move the ankle and foot

64

Muscles Causing Movement At The Hip

• Gluteus Maximus– Forms most of the buttocks

• Gluteus Medius– Is a hip abductor– Beneath the gluteus maximus

• Gluteus Minimus– Under the gluteus medius

65

Muscles Causing Movement At The Hip

• Iliopsoas– Formed by iliacus and psoas major– Runs from iliac crest to insert on greater

trochanter of the femur– Prime mover of hip flexion

67

Iliopsoas

68

Adductor Muscles

• Form the medial side of each thigh

• Since gravity does most of the work for them, special exercises are usually needed to keep them toned– Adductor Longus– Adductor Magnus– gracilis

70

Muscles Causing Movement At The Knee Joint

• Hamstring Group– Posterior Thigh Muscles– Consists of three muscles

• Bicep femoris- lateral• Semembraneous-medial• Semitendinous- between these two

– Flexes the leg– Butchers used to use their tendons to hang

hams from for smoking

72


• Sartorius– Thin straplike muscle

• Most superficial of thigh muscles

• Runs oblique across the thigh

• Called “tailor’s muscle” since it is a synergist in the crossed-leg position

74


• Quadriceps– Rectus Femoris– Vastus Lateralis– Vastus Medialis– Vastus Intermedius

• All 4 muscles insert into the tibial tuberosity of the patellar ligament

76


• Quadriceps act to extend the knee powerfully

78

Muscles Causing Movement At The Ankle And Foot

• Tibialis Anterior– Dorsiflexes and inverts the foot– Inflammation of this muscle is the cause of

shin splints

• Extensor Digitorium Longus– Lateral to the tibialis anterior– Prime mover of toe extention and dorsiflexor

of the foot

79

Muscles Causing Movement At The Ankle and Foot

• Fibularis Muscles- found on lateral part of leg– Longus– Brevis– Tertius– Plantar flexes and everts the foot

• Soleus

81

Muscles Causing Movement At The Ankle and Foot

• Gastrocnemius– Bulging calf muscle– Connects to the heal (calcaneus) by the

Achilles tendon– Plantar flexes the foot– Called the “toe dancer’s muscle”

82

Intramuscular Injection

• Allows the Dr. to inject a large amount of the drug at one time yet have it enter the circulation gradually

• 5 ml or less- deltoid

• More than 5 ml- gluteus medius

• Vastus lateralis in children

86

Placement of Intramuscular Injections

• Important to avoid the sciatic nerve

87

R.I.C.E. Treatment For Injuries

• Rest• Ice

– On for 15 min. off for 20 min.

• Compression– Limits swelling

• Elevation– Reduces swelling– Should be above level of heart

• Referral89

Effect of Exercise On Muscle

• Muscle burns calories at three times the rate of fat– Lean body is more energetically efficient

• Aerobic or endurance exercises result in stronger, more flexible muscles with greater resistance to fatigue

• Resistance or isometric exercises increase muscle size and strength

90

Weight Training and Muscles

• Trapezius

• Pectorals

• Abdominals– Rectus abdominus v. obliques

• Latissimus Dorsi

• Erector Spinae

• Deltoid

91


• Rotator Cuff

• Biceps

• Triceps

• Flexor and extensor muscles of forearm

• Gluteal Muscles

• Adductor Thigh Muscles

• Hamstring Group

92


• Rotator Cuff

• Biceps

• Triceps

• Flexor and extensor muscles of forearm

• Gluteal Muscles

• Adductor Thigh Muscles

• Hamstring Group

93


• Quadriceps

• Gastrocnemius

94


• Does the order of your weight training exercises matter?

• Yes, lift major muscle groups first and then small ones

• The small groups tire more easily and may affect your ability to do the large groups if they are tired.

95

Anabolic Steroids

• Synthetically produced versions of male sex hormone testosterone

• Banned by international athletic competitions

• Advantages– Increased muscle mass and strength– Increased oxygen carrying capacity of blood– Increased aggressive behavior

96

Anabolic Steroids

• Complications– Bloated faces– Shriveled testes and infertility– Damage to liver and liver cancer– Increased blood cholesterol– Increased risk of heart disease– Roid rage– Withdrawal symptoms similar to heroine– Reduced production of natural testosterone

97

Massage Therapy

• Lots of skill involved

• Can help recover from injuries and prevent further problems

• Training varies greatly

• All programs require understanding of anatomy and physiology

• Look for an accredited program of the American Massage Therapy Association.
