2
Muscles that move the forearm
Biceps brachii flexes the forearm and supinates the hand Brachialis Flexes forearm Brachioradialis flexes forearm
3
Muscles that move the forearm
Triceps brachii extends forearm and arm( Elbow extensor)
4
Muscles of the Forearm: Anterior Compartment
* * * * These muscles are primarily flexors of the wrist and fingers * Figure 10.15a
5
Muscles of the forearm: Anterior
Pronator teres Pronates the forearm and hand Flexor carpi radialis flex and abduct wrist Flexor carpi ulnaris flex and adduct wrist
6
Muscles of the Forearm: Posterior Compartment
* * These muscles are primarily extensors of the wrist and fingers * * Figure 10.16a
7
Muscles of the Forearm: Posterior
Extensor carpi ulnaris Extends & adducts hand at wrist joint Extensor carpi radialis longus Extends and abducts the wrist Extensor digitorum Extends the wrist and phalanges
8
Muscles That Move The Thigh Posterior (right thigh)
Gluteus Maximus Extends and rotates thigh laterally Gluteus Medius abducts and rotates thigh laterally
9
Muscles That Move The Thigh: Anterior
Tensor fasciae latae flexes and abducts thigh Adductor Longus Adducts thigh medically Muscles That Move The Leg: Anterior Sartorius longest muscle flex leg, flex thigh, rotate thigh
10
Muscles That Move The Leg
Gracilis Adducts thigh at hip joint, medially rotates thigh and flex leg at knee joint. Hamstring Muscles: hip joint and flexes knee Biceps Femoris Semitendinous Semimembranous
11
Muscles That Move The Leg
Quadricep Femoris Group: Rectus Femoris Vastus lateralis Vastus medialis Vastus intermedius All these muscles knee and only the rectus femoris also hip joint. Thus the vastus muscles are knee extensors.
