Voluntary muscles

Cards (13)

  • Label these voluntary muscles of the body
    :
    A) pectoralis major
    B) biceps
    C) quadriceps
    D) tibialis anterior
    E) deltoid
    F) abdominals
    G) hip flexors
    H) gastrocnemius
    I) N/A
    J) triceps
    K) latissimus dorsi
    L) gluteus maximus
    M) hamstrings
  • When the tibialis anterior contracts it causes dorsi-flexion at the ankle
  • When the latissimus dorsi contracts it causes adduction at the shoulder
  • When the hip flexors contract it causes flexion at the hip
  • When the hamstrings contract it causes flexion at the knee
  • When the gastrocnemius contracts it causes plantar-flexion at the ankle
  • When the quadriceps contract it causes extension at the knee
  • When the gluteus maximus contracts it causes extension at the hip
  • When the external obliques contract it causes abduction at the spine
  • When the pectoralis major contracts it causes adduction/flexion at the shoulder
  • When the deltoid contracts it causes abduction/flexion/extension at the shoulder
  • When the biceps contracts it causes flexion at the elbow
  • When the triceps contract it causes extension at the elbow
