Skeletal Muscular system
Objectives
Know muscle
Group or compartment
Location
Function
Origin and insertion
Innervation
Synergists and antagonists
Skeletal Muscular system
voluntary movements of body through space
includes skeletal striated muscle
every cell innervated (neuropathy or denervation  atrophy)
(levels of severity: neuropraxia, axonotmesis, neurotmesis)
Origin – stationary point of muscle attachment
Slip – segmented origin
Insertion – affected point of muscle attachment
Gaster – muscle belly, contractile, muscular and connective tissues
Dense regular connective tissues
Tendon – dense regular connective tissue often used as origin or
insertion
Aponeurosis – flat, sheet-like tendon
Endomysium – invests muscle fibers (cells)
Perimysium – invests muscle fascicles
Epimysium or fascia – invests entire muscle gaster
or groups of muscles into compartments
Skeletal Muscular system
Synergist – muscles with similar function, usually in the same
compartment and with the same innervation
Antagonist – muscles with opposing function, usually in opposite
compartments and with different innervation, but sometimes
antagonists work synergistically
Facilitator or fixator – a muscle that stabilizes the origin of another
Intrinsic – located within the structure that is affected
Extrinsic – located outside the structure that is affected
Naming of muscles based on any combination of the following:
Shape – e.g., teres major, deltoideus, triceps, digastric
Location – e.g., brachialis, temporalis, popliteus, tibialis anterior
Function – e.g., supinator, rotatores
Origin and/or insertion – e.g., iliacus, subscapularis, flexor carpi ulnaris
Names of muscles are minimal, therefore potentially ambiguous
Flexor digitorum superficialis – antebrachium
Flexor digitorum longus – crus
Extensor digitorum longus – crus
Extensor digitorum communis – antebrachium
General rules of function and innervation by muscle group
Cranial – cranial nerves
Cervical – cranial nerves (except vertebral axial muscles)
Visceral – nV, nVII, nIX, X
Epibranchial - nXI
Hypobranchial of “infrahyoid” – (Ansa Cervicalis: nXII and C1-C3)
Axial (postcranial, including cervical and trunk) – spinal nerves
Epaxial – dorsal rami
Hypaxial – ventral rami
Appendicular – definitive nerves via plexuses from ventral rami of spinal nerves
Ventral mass muscles (flexors, adductors, pronators) –
preaxial nerves or anterior divisions of plexus
Dorsal mass muscles (extensors, abductors, supinators) –
postaxial nerves or posterior divisions of plexus
Muscle groups and generalizations

most both originate and insert on the axial skeleton
