An Introduction to the Muscular System
The muscular system
Consists only of skeletal muscles
Muscle organization dramatically affects power, range, and speed of movement

11-1 Fascicle Arrangement
Skeletal muscle fibers form bundles called fascicles
Muscles are classified based on patterns of fascicle arrangement
Parallel muscles
Convergent muscles
Pennate muscles
Circular muscles

11-1 Fascicle Arrangement
Parallel muscles
Fascicles are parallel to long axis of muscle
Some are flat
Cylindrical muscles have a central body (belly)
Example: biceps brachii
Tension developed during a contraction depends on total number of myofibrils

11-1 Fascicle Arrangement
Convergent muscles
Muscle fibers spread out like a fan and converge on an attachment site
Example: pectoralis muscles
Muscle may pull on
Tendon
Aponeurosis
Raphe (slender band of collagen fibers)
Fibers pull in different directions, depending on activity

11-1 Fascicle Arrangement
Pennate muscles
Muscle fibers pull at an angle relative to tendon
Compared to parallel muscles, pennate muscles
Do not move their tendons as far
Contain more myofibrils
Develop more tension
12

11-1 Fascicle Arrangement
Pennate muscles
Unipennate
All fascicles on same side of tendon
Example: extensor digitorum
Bipennate
Fascicles on both sides of a central tendon
Example: rectus femoris
Multipennate
Tendon branches within muscle
Example: deltoid

Circular muscles (sphincters)
Act as valves in digestive and urinary tracts
Surround body openings and hollow organs

11-2 Levers
Almost all skeletal muscles attach to bones
Site of connection to a bone affects force, speed, and range of movement
Each bone acts as a lever (a rigid, moving structure)
Moves on a fixed point (fulcrum) when muscles provide applied force to overcome the load
Each joint is a fulcrum
19
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
11-2 Levers
Levers can change
Direction of applied force (AF)
Distance and speed produced by AF
Effective strength of AF
Three classes of levers
Based on relative positions of applied force, fulcrum, and load
First-class lever
Second-class lever
Third-class lever
20
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
11-2 Levers
First-class lever
Fulcrum lies between applied force and load
Like a pry bar or crowbar
Example: extension of the neck and lifting the head
21

The fulcrum (F) lies between the

11-3 Origins and Insertions
Origins and insertions
Fixed point of attachment of a muscle to bone is the origin
Movable point of attachment is the insertion
Origin is usually proximal to insertion
27
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
11-3 Origins and Insertions
Actions
Movements produced by muscle contraction
Example: adduction, elevation, pronation, etc.
Described in terms of effect on bone or joint
Example: flexion of the forearm, or flexion at the elbow
28
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
11-3 Origins and Insertions
Muscle interactions
Muscles work in groups to maximize efficiency
Smaller muscles reach maximum tension first, followed by larger, primary muscles
Four terms refer to how muscles work together
Agonist
Antagonist
Synergist
Fixator
29
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
11-3 Origins and Insertions
Agonist (prime mover)
Mostly responsible for producing a particular movement
Antagonist
Opposes movement of a particular agonist
Synergist
A smaller muscle that assists a larger agonist
Fixator
A synergist that assists an agonist by preventing movement at another joint
30
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
11-3 Origins and Insertions
Muscle opposition
Agonists and antagonists work in pairs
When one contracts, the other stretches
Such as flexors–extensors and abductors–adductors
31
© 2018 Pearson Education, Inc.
Figure 11–3 Muscle Action (Part 1 of 3).
Flexion and Extension
At joints that permit flexion and extension, muscles whose
lines of action cross the anterior side of a joint are flexors
of that joint, and muscles whose lines of action cross the
posterior side of a joint are
extensors of that joint.
ANTERIOR
Flexor
The biceps brachii
crosses on the
anterior side of the
elbow joint. So it is
a flexor of the
elbow joint.
FLEXION
Elbow joint
POSTERIOR
Extensor
The triceps brachii
crosses on the
posterior side of
the elbow joint. So
it is an extensor of
the elbow joint.
EXTENSION
32
Figure 11–3 Muscle Action (Part 2 of 3).
Abduction and Adduction
At joints that permit adduction and abduction, muscles whose
lines of action cross the medial side of a joint are adductors
of that joint, and muscles whose lines of action cross the lateral
side of a joint are abductors
of that joint.
LATERAL
Abductor
The gluteus medius
and minimus cross
the lateral side of
the hip joint. So
they are abductors
of the hip joint.
Hip joint
MEDIAL
Adductor
The adductor
magnus crosses
on the medial
side of the hip
joint. So it is an
adductor of the
hip joint.
ABDUCTION
ADDUCTION

Figure 11–3 Muscle Action (Part 3 of 3).
Medial and Lateral Rotation
Shoulder joint
POSTERIOR
Lateral rotator
The teres minor
crosses the posterior
side of the shoulder
joint. When it
contracts, it rotates
the shoulder laterally.
ANTERIOR
Medial rotator
The subscapularis
crosses on the
anterior side of the
shoulder joint. When it
contracts, it rotates
the shoulder medially.
Scapula
Humerus
At joints that permit rotation,
movement or turning of the body
part occurs around its axis. The
shoulder joint is a
ball-and-socket joint that
permits rotation. The
subscapularis has lines of action
that cross the anterior aspect of
the shoulder joint. When the subscapularis contracts it produces medial rotation at the joint. The teres minor has lines of action that cross the posterior aspect of the shoulder joint. When the teres minor contracts, it produces lateral rotation at the shoulder.
