Muscle Identification Lecture Notes:
A. Skeletal muscles produce movement by pulling on insertion bones across joints.
B. Bones serve as levers and joints as fulcrums of these levers.
C. Muscles that move a body part usually do not lie over that part, but proximal to it.
E. Hints on how to deduce actions:
a. insertion--the bone that is moved by the muscle
b. origin-- the bone that remains relatively stationary is its origin.
g. depressors --lower a part
h. sphincters-- reduce the size of an opening
i. tensors-- tense a part, that is, make it more rigid
j. supinators-- turn the hand palm upward
k. pronators -- turn the hand palm downward
