| straited muscle | voluntary or skeletal muscle |
| fascia | fibrous tissue that envelops and separates muscles |
| smooth muscle | viseral or involuntary muscle |
| cardiac muscle | intercalated discs, straited and branching fibers but acts like smooth; involuntary muscle |
| cardiac muscle grouping | branched and only in the heart |
| orbicularis oculi | closes eyelids, wrinkles forehead |
| sternocleidomastoid | turn head |
| pectoralis major | adducts, flexes, rotates arm inward |
| masseter | closes jaw for chewing |
| deltoid | extends arm |
| biceps brachii | flexes forearm |
| gluteus maxiumus | extends, abducts, and rotates thigh laterally |
| gastrocnemius | bends knee and lifts heel off ground |
| Achilles tendon | tendon from gastrocnemius to calcaneous (heelbone) |
| origin | point of attachment of the muscle to the stationary bone |
| insertion | oint of junction of the muscle to the bone that moves |
| flexion | decreasing the angle between two bones; bending a limb |
| extension | increasing the angle between two bones; straightening a limb |
| abduction | movement away from the midline of the body |
| adduction | movement towards the midline of the body` |
| rotation | circular movement around an axis |
| dorsiflexion | decreasing the angle of the ankle joint so that the foot bends backwards (upward) |
| plantar flexion | the motion that extends the foot downward toward the ground as when pointing the toes |
| plant/o | sole of the foot |
| supinaton | as applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm forward, or up |
| pronation | as applied to the hand, the act of turning the palm backward, or down |
| fibr/o | fibrous connective tissue |
| fasci/o | fascia (froms sheaths enveloping muscle) |
| my/o | muscle |
| myocardi/o | heart muscle |
| myos/o | muscle |
| rheumatoid factor test | blood is tested for the presence of the rheumatoid factor |
| ACL | anterior cruciate ligament |
| Ca | calcium |
| triceps | extends the forearm |
| trapezius | elevates, retracts, & rotates scapula |
| pectoralis major | adducts and medially rotates humerus |
| deltoid | anterior part- flexes & medially rotates arm; middle: abducts arm; posterior part: extends & laterally rotates arm |
| biceps brachii | flexes forearm in all positions |
| latissimus dorsi | extends, adducts, and medially rotates humerus |
| brachialis | flexes forearm in all positions |
| brachioradialis | flexes forearm |
| sartorius | "tailor's muscle" longest muscle in the body; flexes, abducts and laterally rotates thigh at hip joint; flexes leg at knee joint |
| quadriceps | great extensor of the leg |
| tibialis anterior | dorsiflexes ankle and inverts foot |
| gastrocnemius | "the calf" plantarflexes ankle when knee is extended, raises heel during walking; flexes leg at knee joint |
| soleus | plantarflexes ankle independent of position of knee & steadies leg on foot |
| hamstring muscle | semitendinous, semimembranosus, long head of biceps femoris |
| sprain | tearing of tissues, ligaments, muscles and tendons |
| strain | overstretching injury with muscle tears; less severe than sprain |
| buccinator | presses cheek against molar teeth, aiding in chewing |
