The document discusses the muscular system and provides information about specific muscles. It notes that there are three types of muscular tissue - smooth, cardiac, and skeletal muscle. It then focuses on skeletal muscle, stating there are over 600 muscles in the body but the class will learn just a few. The rest of the document lists important muscles like the trapezius, pectoralis major, and deltoid. It provides strengthening exercises for each and describes muscles groups like the quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus, and rotator cuff.

1. Muscular Anatomy

2. Muscular system
• 3 types of muscular tissue
1. Smooth
Involuntary – line internal organs
Move substance through out the body
1. Cardiac
Found only in the heart – involuntary
1. Skeletal
Voluntary
Main source of power and movement

3. • There are over 600 muscles in the body,
but for this class were are going to learn
just a few.
• We will learn the highlighted muscles on
the following slides

6. Muscle name Strengthening exercises
Trapezius Upright Rows . shoulder shrugs
Pectoralis major Push-ups, Pull ups, bench press
Deltoid Lateral shoulder raise
Latissimus dorsi Chin-ups, rope climb, rowing, Lat pull-
down
Biceps Arm curls, chin-ups
Triceps Push-ups, dips, bench press
Rotator Cuff Internal and external rotation
Rectus abdominis Bent knee sit-ups
Obliques Core exercises
Quadriceps Leg press, squats, jump rope
The four muscles of the
quadriceps are the rectus femoris,
vastus lateralis, vastus intermedius
and the vastus medialis.
Hamstrings Hamstring curls, lunges
The hamstrings consist of three
muscles -- the semitendinosus, the
semimembranosus and the biceps
femorus.
Gluteus Squats, stair climbing
Gastrocnemius Calf Raises, jump rope
Soleus Bent-knee calf raises

7. The Rotator Cuff
• Four of the muscles that act at the shoulder are commonly called
the rotator cuff.
• The rotator cuff’s primary stabilizing function is to hold the humeral
head in the glenoidfossa to prevent subluxation (dislocation).
• The muscles of the rotator cuff can be remembered using the
acronym SITS:
– Supraspinatus
– Infraspinatus
– Teres minor
– Subscapularis
