Muscles of the Human Body
Sport Books Publisher
2

over 600 in the human body
 allow the skeleton to move

to cause movement, both ends of each
muscle must be attached to bone
– origin or proximal attachment - the attachment
closer to the centre of the body
– insertion or distal attachment - the attachment
away from the centre of the body

Facial Muscles
Sport Books Publisher


Various functions of the facial muscles:
– enable you to change expression and display your
emotions outwardly
– allow you to close your eyes and blink
– essential for opening and closing the mouth for:
– keeping food in the mouth

–
allowing you to chew
–
allowing you to form words
Tongue
– function:
• allows you move food around in your mouth and get it to a
position to be swallowed
• allows you to pronounce words and speak intelligibly

Neck Muscles

Neck Muscles

There are muscles posterior, lateral and
anterior to the neck or cervical region
 These muscles:
– Maintain the position in which the head sits on
the 1st cervical vertebra (atlas) i.e. they hold up
our head
– Also permit a wide range of movement
Sport Books Publisher
7
Sternocleidomastoids

The most important
anterior pair of muscles
 Movements:
– Acting together, they flex
the head toward the chest
– Individually, each muscle
tilts the face up and
toward the opposite side
Sport Books Publisher
8
Erector spinae muscles



Important posterior neck
muscles
Attach to sacrum inferiorly,
and to the skull superiorly
maintain your erect position
– Therefore, they are also called
anti-gravity muscles
– When someone faints, these
muscle no longer function and
the body falls face forward to the
ground

Trapezius, upper fibres

Important lateral neck muscles
 Movements:
– Acting alone, tilt the head to the same side
– Together, they assist in neck extension

Posterior and Lateral Muscles

gluteals
– include 3 muscles:
Gluteus Medius
• gluteus maximus
– the largest of the three
muscles
– principal extensor of the
hip
Gluteus Maximus
• Gluteus medius and
minimus
– assist it in hip extension
– abduct the hip

lateral or external rotators
of the hip
– six little muscles

– interosseous membrane between the tibia
and the fibula
– anterior surface of the fibula

• proximally attaches to the
medial and lateral epicondyles
of the distal femur

fibula
– gastroc and soleus come together
to form an Achilles tendon
– principal plantar flexors of the
ankle

Soleus
Achilles Tendon
Sport Books Publisher
35
Posterior Compartment

Deep group
– primary role is flexion of the
toes
– assist in plantar flexion of the
ankle

Muscles of the Abdomen
Sport Books Publisher
37
Obliques






external oblique
Internal oblique
internal oblique
transversus abdominus
reach from the vertebral column,
ribs, and hip bone posteriorly
meet in the midline anteriorly
through rectus abdominus
functions:
– lateral bending of the abdomen
– rotation of the abdomen
– extension of the abdomen
during forced inspiration
– allow the development of a
pregnant uterus
– contract to help expel fecal
contents from the rectum
Sport Books Publisher
External oblique
Transversus
abdominus
38
Rectus Abdominus
Rectus Sheath

Paired midline muscles

Powerful flexor of the
anterior abdominal wall

Strengthening of the
abdominal muscles is a
very important part of
back therapy, because
the abdominals act to
support the back.
