NOTES V.
Muscular System PART II., IV. And V.
OBJECTIVES
Muscle Movements, Types and Names (pp. 198 – 206)
• Define prime mover, antagonist, synergist, and fixator as they relate to muscles.
• Identify these types of body movements (from images): flexion/extension,
supination/pronation, adduction/abduction, opposition, rotation
• List criteria used in naming muscles.
Gross Anatomy of Skeletal Muscle (pp. 206 – 219)
• Name and locate the major muscles of the human body.
Developmental Aspects (p. 221)
• Explain the importance of a nerve supply and exercise in keeping muscles healthy.
• Describe the changes that occur in aging muscles.
Systems in Sync (p. 222)
• Be prepared to describe the homeostatic relationship between the muscular system
and any three other systems.

Developmental Aspects
Embryonic Development
• laid down in segments (somites) and then nervous tissue develops
Maturation of Muscle Control
• cephalic to caudal direction (head to tail)
• Babies raise their head, then sit up, and then stand
• proximal to distal direction- gross motor skills first, fine motor skills last
Aging Effects
• atrophy- decrease in muscle tissue, increase in
connective tissue over time
• muscles become stringier, more sinewy
• decreased muscle strength
• aging can be delayed (and to a degree reversed)
with regular exercise
Muscle Movements
*Define prime mover, antagonist, synergist, and fixator as they relate to muscles.
A prime mover is the muscle that has the major responsibility for causing a movement.
Synergists – reinforce the same movement
as the prime mover. If it stabilizes the
Antagonists – oppose or reverse a movement.
movement it may be called a fixator.
