1. External oblique

Explanation

The external oblique muscle is responsible for compressing the abdomen. This muscle is located on the sides and front of the abdomen, and when it contracts, it helps to compress the contents of the abdomen, providing support and stability to the core. This compression action is important for various activities such as coughing, sneezing, and lifting heavy objects, as it helps to increase intra-abdominal pressure and protect the internal organs.

2. Flexors of the foot

Explanation

The correct answer is "flexes foot" because the flexor muscles of the foot are responsible for bending the foot downward, bringing the toes closer to the shin. This movement is known as plantar flexion and is important for activities such as walking, running, and jumping. Flexing the foot also helps to maintain balance and stability during these movements.

Submit
3. Deltoid

Explanation

The deltoid muscle is responsible for abducting the arms, which means it moves the arms away from the body. This muscle is located in the shoulder and is involved in various movements of the upper arm, including lifting the arm out to the side. It is not involved in the abduction of the abdomen or foot.

Submit
4. Extensors of the foot

Explanation

The extensors of the foot are a group of muscles that are responsible for extending the foot. This means that they help to lift the foot upwards, away from the ground. These muscles work in conjunction with other muscles in the lower leg to allow for movements such as walking, running, and jumping. By extending the foot, these muscles provide stability and support during weight-bearing activities.

Submit
5. Flexors of the hand

Explanation

The correct answer is "flex hand" because the question is asking for the flexors of the hand, which refers to the muscles responsible for bending the hand at the wrist joint. Flexing the hand involves the contraction of muscles such as the flexor carpi radialis, flexor carpi ulnaris, and flexor digitorum superficialis, among others. Therefore, "flex hand" is the appropriate response as it accurately identifies the action performed by the flexor muscles of the hand.

Submit
6. Mylohuoid

Explanation

The correct answer is "lets the frog breathe" because the term "mylohuoid" refers to a muscle in the frog's mouth that helps in the process of respiration. This muscle plays a crucial role in opening and closing the frog's mouth, allowing air to enter the lungs and facilitating breathing.

Submit
7. Biceps Brachii

Explanation

The correct answer is "Flex forearm." The biceps brachii is a muscle located in the upper arm that is responsible for flexing the forearm. When this muscle contracts, it pulls on the forearm, causing it to bend at the elbow joint. Therefore, flexing the forearm is the correct action associated with the biceps brachii.

Submit
8. Triceps brachii

Explanation

The triceps brachii is a muscle located on the back of the upper arm. It is responsible for extending the forearm, which means it straightens the arm at the elbow joint. The other options mentioned in the question, such as extending the bicep or brachii, are incorrect as the primary function of the triceps brachii is to extend the forearm.

Submit
9. Manibular

Explanation

Submit
10. Bicepts fermoris

Explanation

The correct answer is "extends thigh and flexes leg." The biceps femoris is a muscle located in the back of the thigh. It has two heads, the long head and the short head. When the biceps femoris contracts, it extends the thigh, which means it moves the thigh backwards. Additionally, it flexes the leg, which means it bends the leg at the knee joint.

Submit
11. Tripe fermoris does all of the following?

Explanation

The correct answer is "extends leg" and "flexes thigh" because the tripe fermoris muscle is responsible for both of these actions. It is located in the posterior part of the hip and helps in extending the leg at the hip joint and flexing the thigh at the hip joint. It does not perform the actions of extending the hand or raising the shoulder.

Submit
12. Extensors of the hand

Explanation

The correct answer is "Extends Hand" because the extensors of the hand are responsible for extending the hand at the wrist joint. These muscles are located on the back of the forearm and when they contract, they cause the hand to move backward, straightening the wrist joint and allowing the fingers to stretch out. This action is important for various activities that require extending the hand, such as reaching, grasping, and pushing objects away.

Submit
13. Raises Mandible

Explanation

The correct answer is "Masster" because it is the closest option to "Mandible" in terms of spelling and pronunciation. "Masster" may be a variation or a misspelling of "Mandible" but still retains the similarity in sound and structure. "Madibleous" and "Massterous" are not valid words, while "Mandibular" refers to something related to the mandible rather than being a synonym.

Submit
14. Sartorious

Explanation

The correct answer is "flexes thigh @ hip flexes leg." This means that the muscle "Sartorious" is responsible for flexing the thigh at the hip joint and also flexing the leg. It contracts to bring the thigh closer to the body and extends the leg.

Submit
15. Pectoralis major

Explanation

The correct answer is "makes shoulder go forward". The pectoralis major is a large muscle located in the chest area. When it contracts, it pulls the arm forward, causing the shoulder to move in a forward direction. This muscle is responsible for movements such as pushing, throwing, and reaching forward.

Submit
16. Flexs Leg & Extends Foot

Explanation

The correct answer is Latissimus Dorsi. The Latissimus Dorsi is a large muscle in the back that extends from the lower spine to the upper arm. It is responsible for several movements, including flexing the leg and extending the foot. The Longissimus dorsi is also a muscle in the back, but it does not have the same function as the Latissimus Dorsi.

Submit
17. Longissimus dorsi does all except

Explanation

The longissimus dorsi is a muscle located in the back. It is responsible for extending and elevating the back, as well as elevating the foot. However, it does not have the function of elevating the head. Therefore, the correct answer is "elevates head".

Submit
18. Rectus abdominis does all the following

Explanation

The rectus abdominis is a long, flat muscle that runs vertically along the front of the abdomen. It is responsible for compressing the abdomen, which helps in activities like coughing, sneezing, and defecation. Additionally, the rectus abdominis is involved in flexing the trunk, which means it helps in bending the torso forward. However, it does not have any role in compressing the heart or flexing the bicep.
