Document Summary

We name muscles on shape/ attachment/ number of origins (there are different ways we name them) Rectus: means straight rectus femoris is found in the femoral region of the leg. Pectoralis major: this is a region of the body we have a small and a major muscle here: pectoralis major and pectoralis minor. Once we know the function, it is pretty easy to identify the attachments. Groups of muscles often perform similar functions: extensor digitorum longus extends the digits (there are a few muscles that do this) Longus tells us it is the longer of the two. Brevas tells us it is the shorter of the two. Over time we see a transition in muscle name to be related to function. Sartorius: the muscle that crosses the thigh it is very superficial: greek for the word tailor (cid:862)dee(cid:373)ed to (cid:272)ross the thigh/leg(cid:863) Within the muscles we are going to do a more regional approach.
