Introduction
• Appendicular Musculature
• Appendicular muscles are responsible for:
• Stabilizing the pectoral and pelvic girdles
• Moving the upper and lower limbs
• Absorbing shocks and jolts as you walk, run, or
jump
• Aiding in strengthening the joint area

Introduction
• Two Major Groups of Appendicular Muscles
• The muscles of the pectoral girdle and upper limbs
• The muscles of the pelvic girdle and lower limbs

Intrinsic Muscles of the Hand
These muscles originate on the
axial skeleton, and insert on the
clavicle and scapula.
These muscles originate on the
pectoral girdle and the thoracic
cage, and insert on the humerus.
These muscles primarily originate
on the pectoral girdle and
humerus, and insert on the radius,
ulna, and/or carpals.
These muscles primarily originate
on the humerus, radius, and ulna,
and insert on the metacarpals
and phalanges.
These are the muscles that
perform fine movements. They
originate primarily on the carpal
and metacarpal bones, and insert
on the phalanges.
These muscles originate in the
pelvic region, and typically insert
on the femur.
These muscles originate on the
pelvis and femur, and insert on
the tibia and/or fibula.
These muscles originate on the
tibia and fibula, and insert on the
tarsals, metatarsals, and/or
phalanges.
These muscles originate primarily
on the tarsal and metatarsal
bones, and insert on the phalanges.
Factors Affecting Appendicular Muscle Function
• Action Lines of the Muscle
• Flexion and extension at the shoulder joint
• Adduction and abduction at the shoulder joint
• Medial and lateral rotation at the shoulder joint
• Action lines at the hip joint
• Spurt and Shunt Muscles

The Anatomy of the Shoulder Joint
When an entire muscle or part of a large muscle
contracts, it pulls the insertion in a specific direction.
The direction of applied force is called an action
line. The movement resulting at the associated joint
depends on the relationship between the action line
and the anatomical structure of the joint that
determines its axes of motion. Knowing what
movements the anatomy of a particular joint allows
will help you understand or predict the actions of a
particular muscle at
that joint.
We will begin by
looking at muscles
around the shoulder
joint as seen in a
lateral view. These
muscles insert on the humerus to produce various
movements, but to show the relationship between the
action lines and the joint itself, the humerus has been
removed.

Flexion and Extension
Muscles whose action lines cross the anterior aspect
of the shoulder joint are flexors of that joint, and
muscles whose action lines cross the posterior
aspect are extensors.

Adduction and Abduction
Muscles whose action lines cross the superior
aspect of the shoulder joint are adductors of that
joint, and muscles whose action lines cross the
inferior aspect of the joint are abductors.

Medial and Lateral Rotation
Muscles whose action lines cross the anterior
aspect of the shoulder joint may produce medial
rotation as well as flexion, and muscles whose
action lines cross the posterior aspect of a joint
may produce lateral rotation as well as extension.

Action Lines at the Shoulder Joint
Here is a superficial lateral view showing the action
lines of the deltoid, biceps brachii, and triceps
brachii muscles. As you have seen, analyzing how
those action lines cross the shoulder joint enables
one to determine the actions of these muscles on
the humerus.

Action Lines at the Hip Joint
The hip joint, like the shoulder joint, is a multiaxial synovial joint that permits flexion/extension,
adduction/abduction, and medial/lateral rotation. Determining the action of a muscle on the hip
is identical to the process utilized for the shoulder, in that the action of a muscle on the hip is
determined by the structure of the joint and the location of the insertion of the muscle on the
femur (not shown) relative to the permitted axes of motion at the joint.

Spurt and Shunt Muscles
Determining the location of the insertion of a muscle
relative to the axis of the joint will provide additional
details about the functions of the muscle at that joint.
The primary action of a muscle whose insertion is
close to the joint will be the production of movement
at that joint. Such a muscle is termed a spurt
muscle, and spurt muscles are prime movers.
However, a muscle whose insertion is considerably
farther from the joint will generally help to stabilize
that joint in addition to producing motion at that
joint. This type of muscle, a synergist, is termed
a shunt muscle.

Muscles of the Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limbs
• The muscles of the lower limbs are larger and
more powerful than those of the upper limbs.
• These muscles can be divided into three groups
• Muscles that move the thigh
• Muscles that move the leg
• Muscles that move the foot and toes

Muscles of the Pelvic Girdle and Lower Limbs
• Action Line of Muscles
• When a muscle contracts, it develops tension
• The direction the muscle moves upon developing
tension is known as the action line
• The following figures show the action line of
muscles that move the thigh

Action Lines at the Hip Joint
The hip joint, like the shoulder joint, is a multiaxial synovial joint that permits flexion/extension,
adduction/abduction, and medial/lateral rotation. Determining the action of a muscle on the hip
is identical to the process utilized for the shoulder, in that the action of a muscle on the hip is
determined by the structure of the joint and the location of the insertion of the muscle on the
femur (not shown) relative to the permitted axes of motion at the joint.
