Explanation
The rhomboideus muscle is positioned superior to the external abdominal oblique. This means that it is located above or higher than the external abdominal oblique muscle in the body.
13.
Which muscle protects the scapula?
Correct Answer
A. Serratus anterior
Explanation
The serratus anterior muscle is responsible for protecting the scapula. This muscle is located on the side of the chest and attaches to the scapula, helping to stabilize and protect it during movement. It is involved in protraction and upward rotation of the scapula, which helps to prevent injuries to the shoulder joint.
14.
Which of the following muscles has the action "compresses abdomen"? (hint: this is a multiple answer question.)
Correct Answer(s)
A. External Abdominal Oblique
B. Internal Abdominal Oblique
C. Transversus abdominus
F. Internal Intercostals
Explanation
The muscles that have the action "compresses abdomen" are the External Abdominal Oblique, Internal Abdominal Oblique, Transversus abdominis, and Internal Intercostals. These muscles work together to contract and compress the abdomen, providing support and stability to the core. The External Abdominal Oblique and Internal Abdominal Oblique muscles are located on the sides of the abdomen, while the Transversus abdominis muscle is deep within the abdomen. The Internal Intercostals are located between the ribs and assist in breathing and stabilizing the trunk.
15.
The action of the serratus anterior muscles is to protract the scapula.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The serratus anterior muscles are responsible for protracting the scapula, which means they pull the scapula forward and away from the spine. This action is important for movements like reaching forward or pushing objects away from the body. Therefore, the statement "The action of the serratus anterior muscles is to protract the scapula" is true.

Explanation
The external intercostal muscles originate from the lower border of the rib.
17.
Which muscle of the abdominal wall has it origin (pubis) and insertion (inferior thoracic cage)?
Correct Answer
D. Rectus abdominis
Explanation
The rectus abdominis muscle is the correct answer because it originates from the pubis and inserts into the inferior thoracic cage. This muscle is located in the front of the abdomen and is responsible for flexing the trunk and compressing the abdominal contents. It is commonly referred to as the "six-pack" muscle due to its appearance in individuals with low body fat.
18.

Correct Answer(s)
D. Multifidus group
G. Rotatores group
Explanation
The multifidus group and rotatores group are the muscle groups that function to extend and rotate the vertebral column. The multifidus muscles are deep muscles that span multiple vertebrae and help to stabilize and extend the spine. The rotatores muscles are small muscles that connect each individual vertebra and assist in rotating the spine. Together, these muscle groups work to provide stability and movement to the vertebral column.
29.
Identify the muscle group(s) that are functions to rotate, extends neck and flexes neck laterally.
Correct Answer
E. Splenius group
Explanation
The splenius group of muscles is responsible for rotating, extending, and laterally flexing the neck. These muscles are located in the back of the neck and upper back. They work together to allow movements such as turning the head, looking up or down, and tilting the head to the side.
30.
Identify the muscle group(s) in which the origin is the lower cervical or lower thoracic/upper lumbar vertebrae.
Correct Answer

31.
Which muscle has an origin (ribs) and function (expands thorax)?
Correct Answer
A. External Intercostals
Explanation
The external intercostals muscle is responsible for expanding the thorax during inhalation. It originates from the ribs and helps in elevating the ribcage, allowing for increased lung capacity and air intake. This muscle is located between the ribs and plays a crucial role in the process of breathing.
32.
What is the origin of the External Abdominal Oblique?
(Please enter your answers in all lower case.)
Correct Answer
inferior thoracic cage
Explanation
The origin of the External Abdominal Oblique is the inferior thoracic cage. This means that this muscle originates from the lower part of the rib cage. It attaches to the lower ribs and extends downwards towards the abdominal region. The External Abdominal Oblique plays a role in flexing and rotating the trunk, as well as providing support to the abdominal wall.
33.
What is the function of the Levator Scapulae?
(Please enter answers in lower case.)
Correct Answer
elevates scapula
Explanation
The Levator Scapulae is a muscle located in the neck and upper back region. Its main function is to elevate the scapula, or shoulder blade. When the Levator Scapulae contracts, it pulls the scapula upward towards the ear, allowing for movements such as shrugging or lifting the shoulder. This muscle also helps in stabilizing the scapula during certain arm movements.
34.
Which muscle depresses scapula?
Correct Answer
A. Pectoralis Minor
Explanation
The pectoralis minor muscle is responsible for depressing the scapula. Located underneath the pectoralis major muscle, it attaches to the scapula and ribs. When contracted, it pulls the scapula downward, allowing for movements such as downward rotation and depression of the shoulder blade.
35.
The origin (scapula) and insertion (humerus) is the trapezius.
Correct Answer
B. False
Explanation
The trapezius muscle is not the origin and insertion of the humerus. The trapezius muscle originates from the occipital bone, the ligamentum nuchae, and the spinous processes of the C7-T12 vertebrae, and it inserts onto the clavicle, the acromion process of the scapula, and the spine of the scapula. The humerus is not directly connected to the trapezius muscle. Therefore, the statement is false.
36.
What is the origin of the Erector spinae and Iliocostalis groups?
Correct Answer
A. Various regions of the pelvis and ribs
Explanation
The Erector spinae and Iliocostalis groups originate from various regions of the pelvis and ribs. This means that these muscles have attachment points in different areas of the pelvis and ribs. They do not originate from the cervical and thoracic vertebrae, ribs, transverse processes of vertebrae, or spinous processes of vertebrae.
37.
Identify the muscle groups with function (extends neck or vertebral column).
(This is a multiple answer question.)
Correct Answer(s)
A. Spinalis Group
B. Transversospinales Group
C. Semispinalis Group
Explanation
The muscle groups that function to extend the neck or vertebral column are the Spinalis Group, Transversospinales Group, and Semispinalis Group. These muscle groups work together to help straighten and lengthen the spine, allowing for movements such as looking upwards or arching the back. The Spinalis Group is located in the middle of the back and helps to extend and rotate the spine. The Transversospinales Group is a deep muscle group that runs along the spine and assists in extension and rotation. The Semispinalis Group is a superficial muscle group that also aids in extension and rotation of the spine.
38.
The rotatores group muscles has the function to extend and rotate vertebral column.
Correct Answer
A. True
Explanation
The rotatores group muscles are indeed responsible for extending and rotating the vertebral column. These muscles, located deep within the back, help to maintain the stability and mobility of the spine. When contracted, they assist in extending the spine, allowing for backward bending, and also aid in rotating the spine, enabling twisting movements. Therefore, the statement is true.
39.
What is the origin of the Internal Oblique muscles?
(Please enter your answer in lower case.)
Correct Answer
pelvis
lumbodorsal fascia
Explanation
The Internal Oblique muscles originate from both the pelvis and the lumbodorsal fascia. The pelvis is a bony structure located at the base of the spine, while the lumbodorsal fascia is a strong connective tissue that runs along the lower back. These two origins provide attachment points for the Internal Oblique muscles, allowing them to function in various movements of the trunk and abdomen.
