Skeletal muscles to know – Muscles of the headE. Head musclesCurrent LectureI. Intro to Skeletal Muscles of the Body A. Quick facts1. There are over 600 skeletal muscles in the body2. Around age 30, skeletal muscle can begin being converted into fat. B. There are 4 functional Groups1. Prime Movers (Agonists) Causes a specific body movement. 2. Antagonists Oppose, reverse, or steady a movement of the body. 3. Synergists Assist prime movers by adding a little extra force and preventing unwanted movements. 4. Fixators Immobilizers of bone, and usually serve as the muscles origin.C. Muscle Terminology1. Origin The point of attachment that stays fixed during contraction. The anchor.2. Insertion The movable attachment of a muscle.i. Bicep - origin on proximal tubercles of humerus and insertion on radius. 3. Actions What the muscle does. D. Skeletal Muscles to know These notes represent a detailed interpretation of the professor’s lecture.
