The Muscular System
04/08/2023 2
There are four characteristics associated with muscle tissue:
A. Excitability
B. Contractility
C. Extensibility
D. Elasticity
- Tissue can receive & respond to stimulation
- Tissue can shorten & thicken
- Tissue can lengthen
- After contracting or lengthening, tissue always wants to return to its resting state

The characteristics of muscle tissue enable it to perform some important functions, including:
I. Movement – both voluntary & involuntary
II. Maintaining posture
III. Supporting soft tissues within body cavities
IV. Guarding entrances & exits of the body

Anatomy of the Muscular System
• Origin Muscle attachment that remains fixed
• Insertion Muscle attachment that moves
• Action What joint movement a muscle producesi.e. flexion, extension, abduction, etc.
04/08/2023 5
• Muscles in the body rarely work alone, & are usually
arranged in groups surrounding a joint.
• group of muscle that contracts to create an action in
same direction called agonist or prime mover
eg( flexor muscles )
• A muscle that helps the agonist is a synergist
• A muscle that act opposite to each other called
antagonist eg (flexor and extensor muscles)
Types of muscle
Skeletal Cardiac Smooth

Skeletal muscle
• Look striped or striated
• Maintain posture
• Facilitate movement.
• Found in antagonistic pairs
• Joined to bones by tendons
Cardiac Muscle
• Cardiac muscle-found only in the heart
• Involuntary rhythmic contraction
• Striations, branched
• Contracts about 70 times a minute every day of your life.
04/08/2023 9
Smooth muscle
• Found in the viscera.
• Elongated, spindle shaped fiber with
single nucleus
• Involuntary movement of internal organs
• Found in longitudinal or circular
arrangement
• Muscles contract in circular and
longitudinal manner (peristalsis)

Examples of Skeletal muscles
04/08/2023 11
Muscles of the facial expression
The platysma muscle lies in the superficial fascia.
• Its attach inferiorly to the fascia covering deltoid and pectoralis muscle
• Superiorly, the platysma muscle is attached to the mandible, skin of the cheek, angle of the mouth, and orbicularis oris muscle.
• It acts as depressor to the mandible.
Occipitofrontalis muscle lies in the scalp it consist of two parts frontal part lies in the fore head occipital part lies in the occipital region of the scalp it is action is to elevate eye brows and wrinkle the fore head

Orbicularis oculi muscle is circular muscle that surround (encircle) the eye it close the eye
orbicularis oris it surround the mouth it lies in the lips It is the sphincter of the mouth ( it close the lips)

04/08/2023 15
Buccinator muscle it lies in the cheek It compresses the cheek against the teeth, keeping food close during chewing.( it return the food back to the oral cavity)

Clinical CorrelationFacial Nerve
Bell's palsy is a sudden loss of control of the muscles of facial expression on one side of the face. The patient presents with drooping of the mouth and inability to close the eyelid on the affected side.

MUSCLES OF MASTICATIONThere are four paired muscles of mastication:
1. Masseter
2. Temporalis
3. Medial pterygoid
4. Lateralpterygoid
they act together to open and close the mouth by elevating and depressing the mandible during mastication or chewing
04/08/2023 19
Masseter: Origin: Zygomatic Arch.
Insertion: Lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible.
Action: The masseter has two actions.:
elevation of the mandible combined with retrusion.
04/08/2023 20
Temporalis:Origin: fan-shaped on the side of the skull. It covers the majority of the temporal bone and lesser portions of the frontal and parietal bones.
Insertion: The temporal muscle inserts on the coronoid process of the mandible.
Action: The temporal muscle acts in unison with the masseter and medial pterygoid muscles to close the jaws. Very importantly, it also helps to retrude or pull back the mandible.
04/08/2023 21
Medial and lateral Pterygoid:Origin: from sphenoid bone.
Insertion: in to the mandible.
Action:
Fibers of medial pterygoid run upward downward so it pull the mandible up ward(elevation)
Fibers of lateral pterygoid run horizontal( transversely) so it pull the mandible forward.

Sternocleidomastoid Muscle The Sternal head arises from the sternum.
The Clavicular head arises from the clavicle.
The muscle inserted into the mastoid process.
The function of this muscle is to rotate the head to the opposite side
When acting together it flexes the neck and extends the head..
Sternocleidomastoid
trapezius
04/08/2023 24
The Trapezius Muscle • Trapezius muscle is triangular it lies on the back.
• It has three parts, each of which has a distinctly different action:
1. Superior part of the trapezius muscle elevates the scapula.
2. Middle part of the trapezius muscle retracts the scapula.
3. Inferior part of the trapezius muscle depresses the scapula.

The Deltoid Muscle• has large bulk and lies on
the lateral aspect of the shoulder
• it cover the shoulder• The deltoid muscle abducts
the arm• it is common site of
intramuscular injection
injection should be in the lower part of deltoid to avoid damage of axillary nerve that lies deep to the upper 3rd of the muscle
04/08/2023 27
Iliopsoas has two parts Psoas majorIliacus The two parts unit to form iliopsoas tendonThe iliopsoas muscle flexes the thigh at the hip joint
when the trunk is stabilized at erect position
flexes the trunk against gravity when the body is supine.
04/08/2023 28
• The quadratus lumborum muscles fill the space between 12th ribs and the iliac crest on both sides of the vertebral column.
• The muscles depress 12th rib and contribute to lateral flexion of the trunk.
04/08/2023 29
Intercostal Muscles• The interval between adjacent ribs is called the intercostal
space. • Three layers of muscle fill the intercostal space.• From superficial to deep, the three layers of muscle are • First layer: external intercostal muscle• 2nd layer internal intercostal muscle• 3rd layer innermost intercostal muscle ,tranversus and
subcostalis .• they produce the respiratory movement • external intercostal ( inspiration)• internal intercostal and inner most ,tranversus and subcostalis
(expiration)

Subcostalis muscles
Transverse thoracic

DIAPHRAGM • The diaphragm is a thin musculotendinous
structure that separates the thoracic cavity from the abdominal cavity
It is attached peripherally to:
1. the sternum;
2. the costal margin of the thoracic wall
3. vertebrae of the lumbar region.
04/08/2023 33
From these peripheral attachments, muscle fibers insert centrally into the central tendon
04/08/2023 34
action (function) of diaphragm
it is the main respiratory muscle 70%
it mainly inspiratory
it also compress the abdomen to increase intra-abdominal pressure for abdominal straining(defecation, urination, vomiting, sneezing, cough, labor and lifting heavy weights)

Muscles Of Anterior Abdominal Wall
• Three flat muscles external oblique, internal oblique, and transversus abdominis form most of the anterolateral abdominal wall.
• The rectus abdominis muscle anteriorly. • their action is to compress the abdomen to
increase intra-abdominal pressure for abdominal straining and moving the trunk.
External Oblique Abdominis
(EOA)
Internal oblique abdominis
Transversus Abdominis
rectus abdominis
