- When a person is performing a bicep curl as shown in the picture, what muscles are the agonists? What muscles are the antagonists? What type of contraction is occurring during the lifting phase? What type of contraction is occurring in the lowering phase?
- Describe in your own words what a force couple is when referring to muscles in the human body.
- Describe the Central Nervous System and the Peripheral Nervous System including the differences between the two and how they work together.
- Two important components of the nervous system are dermatomes and myotomes. Describe the differences between the two and how they are used by healthcare providers (doctors, occupational therapists, physical therapists, athletic trainers, nurses, etc) to determine where an injury occurred in the spinal column and if sensory, motor, or both functions are impaired.
- Describe the differences between kinesthesis and proprioception. Then go on to explain the importance of having both working optimally and how to train them to improve.
- Drinking a glass of water is a normal daily activity in which the mind and body are involved in the controlled task. Explain how the movements happen once you decide to drink, in terms of the nerve roots, muscle contractions and angle of pull.
- Understanding how muscles and other anatomy are named can be incredibly beneficial to understand. Oftentimes, the name of the muscle can provide you with a lot of detail regarding the location, action, size, and direction of fibers. Complete the table below with an appropriate muscle that uses the root word. You may repeat muscles when providing examples.
| Root Word | Translation | Muscle Example |
| ad | to; toward | Adductor magnus |
| ab | away from | Abductor digiti minimi |
| sub | under | Subscapularis |
| ductor | something that moves | |
| anti | against | |
| epi | on top of | |
| apo | to the side of | |
| longissimus | longest | |
| longus | long | |
| brevis | short | |
| maximus | large | |
| medius | medium | |
| minimus | tiny; little | |
| rectus | straight | |
| multi | many | |
| uni | one | |
| bi/di | two | |
| tri | three | |
| quad | four | |
| externus | outside | |
| internus | inside | |
| Carpi | wrist | |
| digiti | digit | |
| hallicus | Big toe | |
| indicis | Index finger | |
| pollicis | Thumb |
- Complete the following chart by simplifying the name of the muscle based on its nomenclature:
| Muscle | Root Words | Meaning | Context |
| Abductor Digiti Minimi | AbductDigitiMinimi | Move awayDigit (finger or toe)Small | The muscle that moves the little finger away from the middle |
| Flexor Pollicis Longus | |||
| Extensor digit brevis | |||
| Supraspinatus | |||
| Biceps Brachii | |||
| Palmaris Longus | |||
| Gluteus Maximus | |||
| Vastus Lateralis | VastusLateralis | Great, Vast,largeOutside | The large muscle on the outside |
| Sternocleidomastoid | |||
| Transverse abdominus |
- In addition to understanding musculature nomenclature as a way to provide information regarding muscles, understanding the concept line of pull is also helpful. Describe pull and how you can use anatomical information (origin, insertion, joint type, etc) with critical thinking skills to determine a muscle and its action.
