Download Shoulder- the major muscles in this group are the subscapularis

Shoulder- the major muscles in this group
are the subscapularis, deltoid and trapezius.
These muscles work together to move the
shoulder area, allowing you, for example to
pick up or throw objects.
Arm- the biceps and triceps are two
muscles that you probably know. They are
located in the upper part of the arm. The
biceps allow you to bring your forearm
close to your body (flexes the elbow), while
the triceps allow you to push yourself up off
the floor (extends the elbow).
Leg- the leg muscles work together to
support our body. These muscles include
the calf and tibialis anterior. They also help
you move your leg. For example, a muscle
called the tibialis anterior, located on the
front of the lower leg, helps move the ankle
and foot. The leg also absorbs a lot of the
impact when you are walking and running.
Pelvis/thigh- this area is made up of
muscles like the quadriceps, which occupy
the front and side of the thigh. One of these
moves the thigh inward and allows it to
rotate to the side. The hamstring group of
muscles flex the knee and act as the
opposing muscle group to the quadriceps.
These muscles also help you run, walk and
jump.
Thorax- this area is composed of muscles
like the pectoralis major, or chest musclesis the set of muscles that helps support your
head, arms, stomach and many other areas
of the upper body.
Abdomen- The abdominal area lets you
bend down and move your waist from side
to side. The internal oblique and external
oblique are the two stomach muscles that
allow you to move your entire body from
left to right.
Hip- This area is made up of the gluteus
muscles- the muscles that make up the
buttocks. Their functions range from
helping you straighten your leg when you
are running, walking or climbing to lending
assistance when you raise your body from a
sitting position.
