EXERCISE 15 – MUSCULAR SYSTEM

OBJECTIVES
1. To define origin, insertion, agonist, antagonist and synergist.
2. To cite criteria in naming skeletal muscles.
3. To name and locate the major muscles of the human body on models.
4. To identify cat muscles.
5. To name the origin and insertion of the key human muscles, state the major movement or action
of each, and explain how muscle actions are related to their location.
6. To identify antagonists of the major prime movers.

NOTES:
The labbook has much more detail than you need to know for this unit. Also realize that your
TEXTBOOK actually has very good specifics and pictures on this same topic.

When examining a muscle (for the major muscles only, not all), know its origin, insertion, and
the MAJOR MOVEMENT or ACTION when contracting, its antagonist, as well as the REASON
for the muscle’s name.
For examples:
Biceps brachii and Triceps brachii are antagonistic to each other.

Name Origin Insertion Action

Biceps brachii: radial tuberosity – radius flex forearm

long head supraglenoid tubercle – scapula
short head coracoid process – scapula

Triceps brachii: Olecranon - ulna extend forearm

long head Infraglenoid tubercle – scapula
lateral head lateral surface – humerus
medial head posterior surface – humerus

Review the terms origin and insertion in exercise 13, p. 173.
