MUSCLES
vary extremely in their form (long, broad, short, etc)
considerable variation in the arrangement of the fibers of certain muscles with reference to the tendons to which they are attached
fibers are parallel or not quite parallel, but slightly curved or fibers are convergent (broad base) or the origin and insertion are not in the same plane, but the plane of the line of origin intersects that of the line of insertion or fibers are oblique and converge (unipennate) or oblique fibers converge to both sides of a central tendon (bipennate) or fibers are arranged in curved bundles in one or more planes

Origin versus Insertion
origin is meant to imply its more fixed or central attachment
insertion is the movable point on which the force of the muscle is applied
the origin is absolutely fixed in only a small number of muscles, such as those of the face which are attached by one extremity to immovable bones
in the greater number, the muscle can be made to act from either extremity
![Page 8: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
![Page 9: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
In the dissection of the muscles, attention should be directed to the exact origin, insertion,and actions of each, and to its more important relations with surrounding parts
When it comes to muscle action: One (or more) muscle of the combination is the chief moving force (prime movers); when this muscle passes over more than one joint other muscles (synergic muscles) come into play to inhibit the movements not required.
a third set of muscles (fixation muscles) fix the limb
![Page 10: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Application of Knowing Muscle Action
By a consideration of the action of the muscles, the surgeon is able to explain the causes of displacement in various forms of fracture, and the causes which produce distortion in various deformities, and, consequently, to adopt appropriate treatment in each case
![Page 11: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
How muscles are named
(1) from their location, (ex. Tibialis, Radialis, Ulnaris,
Peroneus)(2) from their direction, (ex. Rectus abdominis, Obliqui
capitis, Transversus abdominis)(3) from their uses, (ex. Flexors, Extensors, Abductors,
etc.) (4) from their shape, (ex. Deltoideus, Rhomboideus) (5) from the number of their divisions, (ex. Biceps
and Triceps)(6) from their points of attachment, (ex.
Sternocleidomastoideus, Sternohyoideus, Sternothyreoideus.)

Overview of the Muscles
![Page 13: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Surface Anatomy of Thorax
![Page 14: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Pectoralis Major
a thick, fan-shaped muscle, situated at the upper and forepart of the chest.
arises from the anterior surface of the sternal half of the clavicle; from half the breadth of the anterior surface of the sternum, as low down as the attachment of the cartilage of the sixth or seventh rib; from the cartilages of all the true ribs, with the exception, frequently, of the first or seventh, or both, and from the aponeurosis of the Obliquus externus abdominis
inserted into the crest of the greater tubercle of the humerus
![Page 15: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Pectoralis Minor
a thin, triangular muscle, situated at the upper part of the thorax, beneath the Pectoralis major.
arises from the upper margins and outer surfaces of the third, fourth, and fifth ribs, near their cartilage and from the aponeuroses covering the Intercostalis; the fibers pass upward and lateralward and converge to form a flat tendon,
inserted into the medial border and upper surface of the coracoid process of the scapula
![Page 16: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Subclavius
a small triangular muscle, placed between the clavicle and the first rib.
arises by a short, thick tendon from the first rib and its cartilage at their junction, in front of the costoclavicular ligament; the fleshy fibers proceed obliquely upward and lateralward
inserted into the groove on the under surface of the clavicle between the costoclavicular and conoid ligaments.
![Page 17: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Serratus Anterior
Is a thin muscular sheet, situated between the ribs and the scapula at the upper and lateral part of the chest.
arises by fleshy digitations from the outer surfaces and superior borders of the upper eight or nine ribs, and from the aponeuroses covering the intervening Intercostales. Each digitation (except the first) arises from the corresponding rib;
reach the vertebral border of the scapula, The lower four slips interdigitate at their origins with the
upper five slips of the External Oblique Muscles
![Page 18: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Nerve Supply
The Pectoralis major is supplied by the medial and lateral anterior thoracic nerves.
The Pectoralis minor receives its fibers from the eighth cervical and first thoracic nerves through the medial anterior thoracic nerve.
The Subclavius is suplied by a filament from the fifth and sixth cervical nerves.
The Serratus anterior is supplied by the long thoracic, which is derived from the fifth, sixth, and seventh cervical nerves
![Page 19: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The Shoulder
![Page 20: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The Deltoids
is a large, thick, triangular muscle, which covers the shoulder-joint in front, behind, and laterally.
arises from the anterior border and upper surface of the lateral third of the clavicle; from the lateral margin and upper surface of the acromion, and from the lower lip of the posterior border of the spine of the scapula, as far back as the triangular surface at its medial end.
they unite in a thick tendon, which is inserted into the deltoid prominence on the middle of the lateral side of the body of the humerus. At its insertion the muscle gives off an expansion to the deep fascia of the arm
![Page 21: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
![Page 22: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Subscapularis
a large triangular muscle which fills the subscapular fossa arises from its medial two-thirds and from the lower two-
thirds of the groove on the axillary border of the bone. Some fibers arise from tendinous laminæ which intersect the muscle and are attached to ridges on the bone; others from an aponeurosis, which separates the muscle from the Teres major and the long head of the Triceps brachii.
The fibers pass lateralward, and, gradually converging, end in a tendon which is inserted into the lesser tubercle of the humerus and the front of the capsule of the shoulder-joint.
![Page 23: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Supraspinatus
occupies the whole of the supraspinatous fossa arising from its medial two-thirds, and from the
strong supraspinatous fascia. The muscular fibers converge to a tendon, which crosses the upper part of the shoulder-joint
inserted into the highest of the three impressions on the greater tubercle of the humerus; the tendon is intimately adherent to the capsule of the shoulder-joint.
![Page 24: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Infraspinatus
a thick triangular muscle, which occupies the chief part of the infraspinatous fossa.
arises by fleshy fibers from its medial two-thirds, and by tendinous fibers from the ridges on its surface; it also arises from the infraspinatous fascia which covers it, and separates it from the Teres major and minor.
inserted into the middle impression on the greater tubercle of the humerus.
![Page 25: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Teres Minor
a narrow, elongated musclearises from the dorsal surface of the axillary border of
the scapula for the upper two-thirds of its extent, and from two aponeurotic laminæ, one of which separates it from the Infraspinatus, the other from the Teres major.
inserted into the lowest of the three impressions on the greater tubercle of the humerus; the lowest fibers are inserted directly into the humerus immediately below this impression.
![Page 26: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Teres Major
is a thick but somewhat flattened muscle, arises from the oval area on the dorsal
surface of the inferior angle of the scapula, and from the fibrous septa interposed between the muscle and the Teres minor and Infraspinatus;
inserted into the crest of the lesser tubercle of the humerus.
![Page 27: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

The Upper Back Muscles
![Page 29: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Trapezius
flat, triangular muscle, covering the upper and back part of the neck and shoulders.
arises from the external occipital protuberance and the medial third of the superior nuchal line of the occipital bone, from the ligamentum nuchæ, the spinous process of the seventh cervical, and the spinous processes of all the thoracic vertebræ, and from the corresponding portion of the supraspinal ligament.
The superior fibers are inserted into the posterior border of the lateral third of the clavicle; the middle fibers into the medial margin of the acromion, and into the superior lip of the posterior border of the spine of the scapula
![Page 30: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
![Page 31: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Latissimus Dorsi
a triangular, flat muscle, which covers the lumbar region and the lower half of the thoracic region,
It arises by tendinous fibers from the spinous processes of the lower six thoracic vertebræ and from the posterior layer of the lumbodorsal fascia by which it is attached to the spines of the lumbar and sacral vertebræ, to the supraspinal ligament, and to the posterior part of the crest of the ilium.
It also arises from the external lip of the crest of the ilium lateral to the margin of the Sacrospinalis, and from the three or four lower ribs by fleshy digitations,
inserted into the bottom of the intertubercular groove of the humerus;
![Page 32: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
![Page 33: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The lateral margin of the Latissimus dorsi is separated below from the External Oblique by a small triangular interval, the lumbar triangle of Petit, the base of which is formed by the iliac crest, and its floor by the Internal Oblique.
![Page 34: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Another triangle is situated behind the scapula. It is bounded above by the Trapezius, below by the Latissimus dorsi, and laterally by the vertebral border of the scapula; the floor is partly formed by the Rhomboideus major. The space is therefore known as the triangle of ausculation.
![Page 35: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Rhomboid Major
arises by tendinous fibers from the spinous processes of the second, third, fourth, and fifth thoracic vertebræ and the supraspinal ligament
inserted into a narrow tendinous arch, attached above to the lower part of the triangular surface at the root of the spine of the scapula; below to the inferior angle, the arch being connected to the vertebral border by a thin membrane.
![Page 36: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Rhomboid Minor
arises from the lower part of the ligamentum nuchæ and from the spinous processes of the seventh cervical and first thoracic vertebræ.
inserted into the base of the triangular smooth surface at the root of the spine of the scapula, and is usually separated from the Rhomboideus major by a slight interval, but the adjacent margins of the two muscles are occasionally united.
![Page 37: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Levator Scapulae
is situated at the back and side of the neck. arises by tendinous slips from the transverse
processes of the atlas and axis and from the posterior tubercles of the transverse processes of the third and fourth cervical vertebræ.
inserted into the vertebral border of the scapula, between the medial angle and the triangular smooth surface at the root of the spine.

External Oblique
is the largest and the most superficial of the three flat muscles in this region
arises, by eight fleshy digitations, from the external surfaces and inferior borders of the lower eight ribs; these digitations are arranged in an oblique line which runs downward and backward
inserted into linea alba, pubic crest & tubercle, anterior superior iliac spine & anterior half of iliac crest
![Page 47: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

Aponeurosis of the External Oblique
a thin but strong membranous structure, the fibers of which are directed downward and medialward. It is joined with that of the opposite muscle along the middle line, and covers the whole of the front of the abdomen
In the middle line, it interlaces with the aponeurosis of the opposite muscle, forming the linea alba, which extends from the xiphoid process to the symphysis pubis
![Page 49: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

That portion of the aponeurosis which extends between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle is a thick band, folded inward, and continuous below with the fascia lata; it is called the inguinal ligament.
![Page 51: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
In the aponeurosis of the external oblique, immediately above the crest of the pubis, is a triangular opening, the superficial inguinal ring, formed by a separation of the fibers of the aponeurosis in this location
![Page 52: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Internal Oblique
an irregularly quadrilateral form, and situated at the lateral and anterior parts of the abdomen
arises, by fleshy fibers, from the lateral half of the grooved upper surface of the inguinal ligament, from the anterior two-thirds of the middle lip of the iliac crest, and from the posterior lamella of the lumbodorsal fascia
Inserts into lower 3 or 4 ribs, linea alba, pubic crest
![Page 53: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

The Cremaster
is a thin muscular layer, composed of a number of fasciculi which arise from the middle of the inguinal ligament where its fibers are continuous with those of the Internal Oblique and also occasionally with the Transversus.
It passes along the lateral side of the spermatic cord, descends with it through the subcutaneous inguinal ring upon the front and sides of the cord, and forms a series of loops which differ in thickness and length in different subjects
![Page 55: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)
The Cremasteric Reflex
elicited by lightly stroking the superior and medial part of the thigh
The normal response is a contraction of the cremaster muscle that pulls up the scrotum and testis on the side stroked
reflex utilizes sensory and motor fibers of the genitofemoral nerve
![Page 56: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Transversalis Fascia
thin aponeurotic membrane which lies between the inner surface of the Transversus abdominis and the extraperitoneal fascia
The spermatic cord in the male and the round ligament of the uterus in the female pass through the transversalis fascia at a spot called the deep inguinal ring.
![Page 59: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Deep Inguinal Ring
situated in the transversalis fascia, midway between the anterior superior iliac spine and the symphysis pubis, and about 1.25 cm. above the inguinal ligament
oval form, the long axis of the oval being vertical; it varies in size in different subjects, and is much larger in the male than in the female

The Pelvic Muscles
The muscles within the pelvis may be divided into two groups: (1) the Obturator internus and the Piriformis, which are muscles of the lower extremity, (2) the Levator ani and the Coccygeus, which together form the pelvic diaphragm and are associated with the pelvic viscera
![Page 97: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/97.jpg)
The Pelvic Fascia
fascia of the Obturator internus covers the pelvic surface of, and is attached around the margin of the origin of, the muscle
The internal pudendal vessels and pudendal nerve cross the pelvic surface of the Obturator internus and are enclosed in a special canal—Alcock’s canal—formed by the obturator fascia
![Page 98: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/98.jpg)
The fascia of the Piriformis is very thin and is attached to the front of the sacrum and the sides of the greater sciatic foramen; it is prolonged on the muscle into the gluteal region.
At its sacral attachment around the margins of the anterior sacral foramina it comes into intimate association with and ensheathes the nerves emerging from these foramina.
The sacral nerves are frequently described as lying behind the fascia
![Page 99: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/99.jpg)
Levator ani
is a broad, thin muscle, situated on the side of the pelvis. It is attached to the inner surface of the side of the lesser pelvis, and unites with its fellow of the opposite side to form the greater part of the floor of the pelvic cavity. It supports the viscera in this cavity, and surrounds the various structures which pass through it

Central Tendinous Point of the Perineum
a fibrous point in the middle line of the perineum, between the urethra and anus, and about 1.25 cm. in front of the latter.
At this point six muscles converge and are attached:Sphincter ani externus, the Bulbocavernosus,
the two Transversi perinæi superficiales, and the anterior fibers of the Levatores ani
(Two Bitches Like Slapping ass)
![Page 115: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/115.jpg)
Bulbocavernosus
placed in the middle line of the perineum, in front of the anus. It consists of two symmetrical parts, united along the median line by a tendinous raphé
Origin: central tendinous point of the perineum and from the median raphé
Insertion: inferior fascia of the urogenital diaphragm, encircle the bulb and adjacent parts of the corpus cavernosum urethræ and join with the fibers of the opposite side
![Page 116: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)

Bulbocavernosus in the female surrounds the orifice of the vagina. It covers the lateral parts of the vestibular bulbs, and is attached posteriorly to the central tendinous point of the perineum, where it blends with the Sphincter ani externus. Its fibers pass forward on either side of the vagina to be inserted into the corpora cavernosa clitoridis, a fasciculus crossing over the body of the organ so as to compress the deep dorsal vein.
![Page 118: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/118.jpg)

Ischiocavernosus
covers the crus penis. It is an elongated muscle, broader in the middle than at
either end, and situated on the lateral boundary of the perineum.
arises by tendinous and fleshy fibers from the inner surface of the tuberosity of the ischium, behind the crus penis; and from the rami of the pubis and ischium on either side of the crus.
inserted into the sides and under surface of the crus penis.
![Page 120: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/120.jpg)
The Ischiocavernosus compresses the crus penis, and retards the return of the blood through the veins, and thus serves to maintain the organ erect.
![Page 121: The Human Muscles](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061120/546bc4b6b4af9fd1078b4a49/html5/thumbnails/121.jpg)
Ischiocavernosus (Erector clitoridis) in the female is smaller than the corresponding muscle in the male. It covers the unattached surface of the crus clitoridis. It is an elongated muscle, broader at the middle than at either end, and situated on the side of the lateral boundary of the perineum. Itarises by tendinous and fleshy fibers from the inner surface of the tuberosity of the ischium, behind the crus clitoridis; from the surface of the crus; and from the adjacent portion of the ramus of the ischium. From these points fleshy fibers succeed, and end in an aponeurosis, which is inserted into the sides and under surface of the crus clitoridis.

There are two main categories of female genital mutilation, clitoridectomy, and infibulation.
Clitoridectomy is the removal of the clitoris. This is done to decrease a woman's ability to achieve orgasm, in the hopes to keep her from having sex.
Infibulation if the removal of the clitoris, the labia minora, and the labia majora. What remains of the labia majora is sewn shut, leaving a small opening only so large as to allow the passage of urine and menstrual blood. The procedure is often used as a means of protecting the virginity of the woman, and to control her sexual desires.
