Question

Axial and Appendicular Muscle Location Study Guide

Answer 1

note: this will only cover the locations, not the OINAs, although knowing the origins and insertions will probably help in locating the muscles on a diagram.

Answer 2

next one on the list is the trapezius. it's more prominent on the back than the front.

Answer 3

next up is the pectoralis major, which is pretty easy to remember if you've ever heard the word "pecs" used to describe someone's visible chest muscle

Answer 4

directly below the pecs is the latissimus dorsi (hard to remember, but you can try to think of a dorsal fin on the lateral side of, like, a dolphin)

Answer 5

below that is the serratus anterior
if you look closely, you can see that the muscle has a jagged edge like a serrated knife

Answer 6

the two-headed, prominent muscle in the arm is the biceps brachii (note: informally these are called the biceps, but in anatomy, you must specify that these are the biceps brachii because you also have a pair of biceps in the leg)

and behind that is the triceps brachii

Answer 7

next up is the brachialis at the elbow

Answer 8

below the elbow you have a muscle called the "pronator teres" which puts the arm into a prone position

Answer 9

overlapping that muscle is the brachioradialis

Answer 10

gonna start with a fresh copy of the diagram 'cause it's a bit crowded now

Answer 11

over to the medial side we have a muscle called the pulmaris longus

Answer 12

then we have three flexors here, try to remember their order/their names by going down the hand/wrist region

- flexor carpi radialis (think of the wrist = carpi, and the radius)
- flexor digitorum superficialis (think of fingers)
- flexor carpi ulnaris: (think of wrist and ulna)

Answer 13

Adapted from Human Anatomy, Martini, et. al. 9th edition & my professor's lecture notes

gonna split this into multiple parts cause this is getting a bit long
