    Muscular System

    Mrs. Asha Russel


    Asst. Science Tutor ‘A’
    The essential function of muscle is
    contraction or shortening
    Types of Body Movements
    Muscle attachments
    Origin: muscle is
    attached to the
    immovable or less
    movable bone

    Insertion: muscle is
    attached to movable
    bone and when muscle
    contracts, the insertion
    moves toward the origin
    Common types of body movements
    1. Flexion: decreases the angle of the joint and brings
    two bones closer together
    2. Extension: increases the angle or the distance
    between two bones or parts of the body
    3. Rotation: is movement of a bone around its
    longitudinal axis
    4. Abduction: moving a limb from midline or median
    plane of the body
    5. Adduction: it is the movement of a limb toward
    body midline
    6. Circumduction: the proximal end is stationary and
    its distal end moves in a circle
    Special Body Movements
    1. Dorsiflexion: lifting the foot
    2. Plantar flexion: depressing the foot
    3. Inversion: turn sole medially
    4. Eversion: turn sole laterally
    5. Supination: turning backward
    6. Pronation: turning backward
    7. Opposition: the action by which you move
    your thumb to touch the tips of the other
    fingers on the same hand
