Lower Muscles, Knee Joint, and Body Movements Flashcards
(83 cards)
paired muscle forming the outermost layer of the lateral abdominal wall;

external abdominal oblique
compresses abdomianal wall, rotates trunk
Paired muscle forming the middle layer of the lateral abdiminal wall;

internal abdominal oblique
compresses abdominal wall, rotates trunk
deepest muscle in the abdominal area;

transversus adnominis
compresses abdominal wall
runs vertically on the anterior medial portion of the abdominal wall;

rectus abdominis
compresses and allows lateral rotation on the vertebral column
ABS
the muscle that might break when youe get pregnant
Vertical midline band in connective tissue within the abdominal wall

linea alba
exctends from the crest of the illium to the pubic tubercle

inguinal ligament
make the V
ricky the V was a guido, which shounds like inguinal
round muscle adjecent to iliacus;
orgin
insertion

Psoas Major
flexes hip and rotates femur laterally; flexes vertebral column
orgin: Transverse Processes and bodies of T12-L5
insertion: lesser trochanter
originates on the iliac crest, located deep and next to the kidneys;

Quadratus Lumborum
extends lumbar spine
its the triangle in front of the Kidney
composed of three muscle groups

erector spinae
its like a runway at SLI
Originates on spinous processes of upper lumbar and lower thoracic vertebrae; inserts on spinous processes of upper thoracic vertebrea;

Spinalis
extends vertebral column
The S in SLI
closest to the spine
originates in the transverse processes of vertebrae (except upper cervical), inserts on transverse processes of upper cervical vertebrae and ribs;

Longissimus
extends vertebral column
L in SLI
second closest to the spine
originates onribs and crest of ilium, inserts on posterier part of ribs and transverse processes of upper cervical vertebrae;

Iliocostalis
extrends verteberal column
I of SLI
farthest from the spine
located on the superior portionof the back deep to the rhomboids

Serratus posterior superior
Serrated knife
located on the inferior and lateral portion of the back deep to the latissimus dorsi

serratus posterior inferior
serrated knife
very thin muscle that runs on either side of the spinouis process of the vertebrae from the sacrum to the axis; originates on the sacrum, erector spinea aponeurosis, posterior superior iliac spine, and the iliac crest; inserts on the spinous processes;

multifidus
acts to stablilize the vertebrae
c-shaped fibrocartilage located between the medial condyles providing cushion within the knee joint

medial meniscus
c-shaped fibrocartilage located between the lateral condyles providing cushion within the knee joint

lateral meniscus
ligament connecting the posterior side of the femur to the anterior surface of the tibia preventing anterior sliding of the tibia

anterior cruciate ligament
crucial to the knee
ligament connecting the anterior side of the femur to the posterior surface of the tibia preventing posterior sliding of the tibia

posterior cruciate ligament
crucial to the knee
ligament located on the lateral surface of the knee joint providing stability and prevents hyperaddution of the leg at the knee

lateral (fibular) collateral ligament
ligament located on the medial surface of the knee joint providing stability and prevents hyperabdution of the leg at the knee

medial (tibular) collateral ligament
composed of two muscles as they join at the inginal ligament

iliopsoas
made up up iliacus and psoas major
originates on the iliac fossa; flexes hip and rotates femur laterally;
orgin
insertion

iliacus
flexes vertebral column
origin: iliac fossa
Insertion: lesser trochanter
small muscle medial to to the iliopsoas;
origin
insertion

pectineous
adducts and flexes femur
origin: superior ramus of the pubis
insertion: lesser trochanter
