Posterior Skeletal Muscles
Across
- 6. muscle of the rotator cuff that sits just inferior to the infraspinatus
- 7. a large hamstring muscle that is more lateral and runs the length of the femur
- 8. the large tendon that connects the calcaneus to the gastrocnemius
- 12. a posterior exstensor of the fingers located in the lower forearm
- 13. the dual headed large muscle in the posterior calf area which connects the achilles tendon to the calcaneous
- 14. this muscle sits inferior to the teres minor and is NOT part of the rotator cuff
- 16. the hamstring muscle medial to the biceps femoris
- 17. a posterior extensor that extends the wrist
- 18. a large bilateral muscle of the rump
- 19. muscle that works opposite the biceps brachii
- 20. the large bilateral circular muscles that sit in the occipital region of the skull
Down
- 1. the largest and most medial adductor muscle located on the posterior of the body
- 2. large star shaped muscle that connects the neck, shoulders, and spine
- 3. this is a large sheath of connective tissue that connects the tensor fasciae latae to the lateral head of the tibia
- 4. a muscle of the calf that sits deep to the gastrocnemius
- 5. large muscle of the rotator cuff that sits in the posterior scapula
- 9. the most medial hamstring muscle
- 10. the gluteal muscle smaller that the gluteus maximus but larger than the gluteus minimus
- 11. large muscle inferior to the trapezius with bilateral wings
- 15. muscle located on the distal end of the shoulder
