Introduction
• Facts about muscles
– Muscles constitute nearly half of the body’s weight and
occupy a place of central interest in several fields of health
care and fitness
• Physical and occupational therapy, athletes, dancers, trainers,
acrobats, nurses, and more
– Muscular system is closely related to other systems
covered previously
– Chapters 11 and 12 will examine the mechanisms of
muscle contraction at the cellular and molecular levels
• Three kinds of muscle tissue
– Skeletal, cardiac, smooth
10-2
Introduction
• In this chapter we will cover:
– Structural and functional
organization of muscles
– Muscles of the head and neck
– Muscles of the trunk
– Muscles acting on the
shoulder and upper limb
– Muscles acting on the hip and lower
limb

visualizing and remembering them.
10-5
The Structural and Functional
Organization of Muscles
• About 600 human skeletal muscles
• Constitute about half of our body weight
• Specialized for one major purpose
– Converting the chemical energy in ATP into the mechanical
energy of motion
• Myology—the study of the muscular system
10-6
The Functions of Muscles
• Movement
– Move from place to place, movement of body parts and
body contents in breathing, circulation, feeding and
digestion, defecation, urination, and childbirth
• Stability
– Maintain posture by preventing unwanted movements
– Antigravity muscles: resist pull of gravity and prevent us
from falling or slumping over
– Stabilize joints
• Role in communication: speech, writing, nonverbal
communications
10-7
The Functions of Muscles
• Control of openings and passageways
– Sphincters: internal muscular rings that control the movement
of food, bile, blood, and other materials within the body
• Heat production by skeletal muscles
– As much as 85% of our body heat
• Glycemic control
– Regulation of blood glucose concentrations within its normal
range by storing glycogen

Connective Tissues and Fascicles
• Endomysium
– Thin sleeve of loose connective tissue surrounding each muscle
fiber
– Allows room for capillaries and nerve fibers to reach each
muscle fiber
– Provides extracellular chemical environment for the muscle
fiber and its associated nerve ending
• Perimysium
– Slightly thicker layer of connective tissue
– Fascicles: bundles of muscle fibers wrapped in perimysium
– Carry larger nerves and blood vessels, and stretch receptors
10-10
Connective Tissues and Fascicles
• Epimysium
– Fibrous sheath surrounding the entire muscle
– Outer surface grades into the fascia
– Inner surface sends projections between fascicles to form
perimysium
• Fascia
– Sheet of connective tissue that separates neighboring muscles
or muscle groups from each other and the subcutaneous tissue

• A group of functionally related muscles enclosed and separated
from others by connective tissue fascia
• Contains nerves, blood vessels that supply the muscle group
– Thoracic, abdominal walls, pelvic floor, limbs
• Intermuscular septa separate one compartment from another
10-14
Muscle Attachments
• Indirect attachment to bone
– Tendons bridge the gap between muscle ends and bony
attachment
• Collagen fibers of the endo-, peri-, and epimysium continue
into the tendon
• From there into the periosteum and the matrix of bone
• Very strong structural continuity from muscle to bone
• Biceps brachii, Achilles tendon
• Aponeurosis—tendon is a broad, flat sheet (palmar
aponeurosis)
• Retinaculum—connective tissue band that tendons from
separate muscles pass under
10-15
Muscle Attachments
• Direct (fleshy) attachment to bone
– Little separation between muscle and bone
– Muscle seems to immerge directly from bone
• Margins of brachialis, lateral head of triceps brachii
10-16
Muscle Origins and Insertions

Muscle Origin and Insertions
• Also can be determined by proximal or distal or
superior and inferior attachments, especially on
limbs
• Some muscles insert not on bone but on the fascia or
tendon of another muscle or on collagen fibers of
the dermis
– Distal tendon of the biceps brachii inserts on the fascia of
the forearm
– Facial muscles insert in the skin
10-18
Functional Groups of Muscles
• Action—the effects produced by a muscle
– To produce or prevent movement
• Four categories depending on action
– Prime mover (agonist)
• Muscle that produces most of force during a joint action
– Synergist: muscle that aids the prime mover
• Stabilizes the nearby joint
• Modifies the direction of movement
10-19
Functional Groups of Muscles
Cont.
– Antagonist: opposes the prime mover
• Relaxes to give prime mover control over an action
• Preventing excessive movement and injury
• Antagonistic pairs—muscles that act on opposite sides of a
joint
– Fixator: muscle that prevents movement of bone

Muscle Innervation
• Innervation of a muscle—refers to the identity of the
nerve that stimulates it
– Enables the diagnosis of nerve, spinal cord, and brainstem
injuries from their effects on muscle function
• Spinal nerves arise from the spinal cord
–
–
–
–
Emerge through intervertebral foramina
Immediately branch into a posterior and anterior ramus
Innervate muscles below the neck
Plexus: weblike network of spinal nerves adjacent to the
vertebral column
10-23
Muscle Innervation
• Cranial nerves arise from the base of the brain
– Emerge through skull foramina
– Innervate the muscles of the head and neck
– Numbered CN I to CN XII
10-24
Blood Supply
• Muscular system receives about 1.25 L of blood per
minute at rest (one-quarter of the blood pumped by
the heart)
• During heavy exercise total cardiac output rises and
the muscular system’s share is more than threequarters (11.5 L/min)
• Capillaries branch extensively through the
endomysium to reach every muscle fiber
10-25
How Muscles Are Named
• Latin names
– Depressor labii inferioris, flexor digiti minimi brevis
• Describes distinctive aspects of the structure,
location, or action of a muscle

A Learning Strategy
• Examine models, cadavers, dissected animals, or a
photographic atlas to get visual images of the muscle
• When studying a particular muscle, palpate it on yourself
if possible
• Locate origins and insertions of muscles on an
articulated skeleton
10-28
A Learning Strategy
• Study derivation of each muscle name
– Usually describes the muscle’s location, appearance,
origin, insertion, or action
• Say the names aloud to yourself or study partner, and
spell them correctly
10-29
Muscles of Facial Expression
• Muscles that insert in the dermis and subcutaneous
tissues
• Tense the skin and produce facial expressions
• Innervated by facial nerve (CN VII)
• Paralysis causes face to sag
• Found in scalp, forehead, around the eyes, nose, and
mouth, and in the neck
10-30
Compartment Syndrome
• Fasciae of arms and legs enclose muscle compartments
very snugly
• If a blood vessel in a compartment is damaged, blood
and tissue fluid accumulate in the compartment
• Fasciae prevent compartment from expanding with
increasing pressure
• Compartment syndrome—mounting pressure on the
muscles, nerves, and blood vessels triggers a sequence of
degenerative events
– Blood flow to compartment is obstructed by pressure
10-31
Compartment Syndrome
Cont.
– If ischemia (poor blood flow) persists for more than 2 to 4
hours, nerves begin to die
– After 6 hours, muscles begin to die
• Nerves can regenerate after pressure relieved, but
muscle damage is permanent
• Myoglobin in urine indicates compartment syndrome
• Treatment: immobilization of limb and fasciotomy
(incision to relieve compartment pressure)
10-32
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Flexor retinaculum—bracelet-like fibrous sheet, which
the flexor tendons of the extrinsic muscles that flex the
wrist pass on their way to their insertions
• Carpal tunnel—tight space between the flexor
retinaculum and the carpal bones
– Flexor tendons passing through the tunnel are enclosed in
tendon sheaths
• Enable tendons to slide back and forth quite easily
10-33
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
• Carpal tunnel syndrome—prolonged, repetitive
motions of wrist and fingers can cause tissues in the
carpal tunnel to become inflamed, swollen, or fibrotic
– Puts pressure on the median nerve of the wrist that passes
through the carpal tunnel along with the flexor tendons
– Tingling and muscular weakness in the palm and medial side
of the hand
– Pain may radiate to arm and shoulder
– Treatment: anti-inflammatory drugs, immobilization of the
wrist, and sometimes surgery to remove part or all of flexor
retinaculum
