Muscles and Body Movements
 Movement is attained as a result of a muscle moving
an attached bone
 Muscles are attached to at least two points
1.
2.
Origin: attaches to an immovable/less movable bone
Insertion: attaches to a movable bone

Types of Body Movements
 Flexion
 Decreases the angle of the joint
 Brings two bones closer together
 Typical of bending hinge joints (e.g., knee and elbow) or
ball-and-socket joints (e.g., the hip)
 Extension
 Opposite of flexion
 Increases angle between two bones
 Typical of straightening the elbow or knee
 Extension beyond 180° is hyperextension

Types of Body Movements
 Rotation
 Movement of a bone around its longitudinal axis
 Common in ball-and-socket joints
 Example: moving the atlas around the dens of axis (i.e.,
shaking your head “no”)

Types of Body Movements
 Abduction
 Movement of a limb away from the midline
 Adduction
 Opposite of abduction
 Movement of a limb toward the midline

Abduction
Adduction
Circumduction
(d) Abduction, adduction,
and circumduction
Types of Body Movements
 Circumduction
 Combination of flexion, extension, abduction, and
adduction
 Common in ball-and-socket joints
 Proximal end of bone is stationary, and distal end moves
in a circle

(d) Abduction, adduction,

Special Movements
 Dorsiflexion
 Lifting the foot so that the superior surface approaches
the shin (toward the dorsum)
 Plantar flexion
 Depressing the foot (pointing the toes)
 “Planting” the foot toward the sole

(e) Dorsiflexion and plantar flexion
Special Movements
 Inversion
 Turning sole of foot medially
 Eversion
 Turning sole of foot laterally

(f) Inversion and eversion
Eversion
Special Movements
 Supination
 Forearm rotates laterally so palm faces anteriorly
 Radius and ulna are parallel
 Pronation
 Forearm rotates medially so palm faces posteriorly
 Radius and ulna cross each other like an X

Pronation
(radius rotates
over ulna)
Supination
(radius and ulna
are parallel)
S P
(g) Supination (S) and pronation (P)
Special Movements
 Opposition
 Moving the thumb to touch the tips of other fingers on
the same hand

(h) Opposition
Types of Muscles
 Prime mover— muscle with the major responsibility
for a certain movement
 Synergist— muscle that aids a prime mover in a
movement and helps prevent rotation
 Fixator— stabilizes the origin of a prime mover
 Antagonist— muscle that opposes or reverses a prime
mover
 It is the actions of all muscles involved that provide
smooth, coordinated and precise movement.

Naming Skeletal Muscles
 Skeletal muscles can be named according to:
 direction of muscle fibers: rectus (straight)
 relative size of the muscle: maximus (largest)
 location of the muscle: temporalis (temporal bone)
 number of origins triceps (three heads)
 location of origin and insertion: sterno (on the
sternum)
 shape of the muscle: deltoid (triangular)
 action: flexor/extensor (flex/extend a bone)
