Jenevieve Cortes Advincula - Muscular Laboratory Sheet 1

The document provides information about muscles and their actions. It includes a chart to fill in muscle names under different categories of muscle location. It also includes review questions about muscle definitions, prime movers, naming criteria, and specific muscle actions. The purpose is to test knowledge of muscle anatomy and physiology.

Lab Review Questions
1.) What is the definition of a prime mover muscle?
● A muscle that has the major responsibility for producing a specific movement is a prime mover,
or agonist, of that movement.

2.) What muscle is the prime mover for forearm flexion?


● The biceps brachii is on the anterior side of the humerus and is the prime mover responsible for
flexing the forearm.

3.) List 5 criteria for naming skeletal muscles?


● location of the muscle
● shape of the muscle
● relative size of the muscle
● direction/ orientation of the muscle fibers/ cells
● number of origins

4.) Which muscle is used to close and pucker the lips?


● The circular muscle around our mouth is Orbicularis Oris and this muscle brings our lips
together so we can pucker up and close it.

5.) Describe the action of the sternocleidomastoid.


● The sternocleidomastoid muscle is one of the largest and most superficial cervical muscles. The
primary actions of the muscle are rotation of the head to the opposite side and flexion of the
neck. The sternocleidomastoid is innervated by the accessory nerve. Also originates from the
sternum and clavicle and inserts on the mastoid process of temporal bone.

6.) What is the action of the deltoid muscle?


● The main action of the deltoid is abduction of the arm. The anterior deltoid also assists in
forward flexion and internal rotation. The posterior portion assists with extension and external
rotation.
7.) What are the names of the four quadriceps muscles and their actions?
● Rectus femoris
-Anterior inferior iliac spine, supraacetabular groove. This muscle originates from the hip bone
and attaches to your kneecap. It also partially covers the three vastus muscles

● Vastus medialis
-Intertrochanteric line, pectineal line of femur, linea aspera, medial supracondylar line of femur.
This teardrop-shaped muscle runs along the inner part of your thigh as well as connecting your
femur to your kneecap.

● Vastus lateralis
-Intertrochanteric line, greater trochanter, gluteal tuberosity, linea aspera of femur. This muscle
goes down the outside of your thigh and connects the femur to your kneecap. It’s the largest of
your four quadriceps muscles.

● Vastus intermedius
-Anterior surface of the femoral shaft. This muscle is located in between the other two vastus
muscles in your thigh. It’s the deepest of the four muscles.

8.) What are the names of the three hamstring muscles and their actions?
● Biceps femoris
-Flexes knee joint, laterally rotates knee joint when the knee is flexed, extends hip joint long
head only.

● Semitendinosus
-Attaching between the hip and leg, it produces movements on both hip and knee joints
producing thigh extension.

● Semimembranosus
-Extends across both the hip and knee joints and is consequently responsible for multiple
movements about the joints.
Problem Solving Activity
The following problem-solving assessment is presented in a multiple-choice format. Each choice
should be considered individually and an argument should be written for accepting or rejecting it. Since
the problem has one best answer, there should be one argument for acceptance and four for rejection.

For each response, you must first state whether you are accepting or rejecting that statement. Then,
you must write a detailed explanation why you accept or reject each of the choices.

PROBLEM:

There are many proponents of aerobic exercise today. Provided approval has been received from a
medical doctor, a regular program is said to be both desirable and beneficial. Which of the following
definitely would be a true benefit to an adult participating in a program of regular aerobic exercise?

A. An increase in fat storage for cushioning of abdominal organs


● REJECT, because its main purpose is to protect the abdominal organs I'm going to insist that
the fat increase in this area is visceral fat. Aerobic exercise, despite what people think, can help
you lose weight.

B. Increased urinary system efficiency


● REJECT, because as your blood flow decreases during moderate to vigorous activity, so does
the volume of fluid filtered by your kidneys, resulting in less urine production.

C. Increase in the number of muscle cells within muscles


● REJECT, because muscle cells have the ability to change size When muscles grow, however,
no new cells are formed.

D. Enlargement and increase in mitochondria number in muscle cells


● ACCEPT, because aerobic exercise helps muscles repair and regenerate after workouts, due to
increased muscular development Aerobic exercise increases the amounts of myoglobin and
mitochondria in muscle tissue, resulting in greater aerobic capacity. Aerobic exercise induces a
slew of physiological changes in the body, all of which lead to fat loss.

E. Greater storage of glycogen in the liver


● REJECT, because physical activity depletes glycogen reserves in the liver and muscle, the
longer and more intense the exercise, the faster and more rapidly glycogen stores deplete.
