doctor my orbitals

note to self:
Don't forget to study for Kinesiology test today on Jackson Browne muscles anterior/posterior. It's the test that I've had a hard time getting to due to all the family stuff I've been having to deal with these past four days. Sunday I made time to make flash cards of muscle types, characteristics, functions, etc. Yesterday I had SOME time to actually use the flash cards. Today I will read over the PowerPoint presentation and see if I've left anything out of the flash cards. Oh - I also need to learn all the freak'n muscles in the body (and where they are) before tonight!

Muscles include:
Anterior- Frontalis, Platysma, Deltoid, Pectoralis major, Pectoralis minor, Sternocleidomastoid, Biceps brachii, Coracobrachialis, Brachialis, Brachioradialis, Flexor Digitorum, Pronator teres, Flexors of the forearm, External oblique, Rectus abdominis, Transverse abdominis, Adductors, Sartorius, Rectus femoris, Vastus medialis, Vastus intermedus, Vastus lateralis, Peroneus longus, and Tibialis anterior

Posterior - Temporalis, Splenius capitis, Levator scapula, Supraspinatus, Rhomboid major and minor, Infraspinatus, Teres minor, Teres major, Erector spinae group, Serratus posterior inferior, Long muscles of the thumb, Gluteus medius, Gluteus minimus, Glueteus maximus (played by Russell Crowe), Piriformis, Semimembranosus, Plantarsis, Popliteus, Soleus, Trapezius, Deltoid, Triceps brachi (it'such the antagonist) Latissimus dorsi, Extensors of the forearm, Illiotibial tract, Bicepts femoris, Semitendinosus, Gastrocnemius.

There you go - that's a list of the muscles that I need to acquaint myself with more before tonight. Sorry to have pulled you in on my study. I made a 94 on the A&P test. I got the big questions but missed a few of the little guys. Oh well - not perfect. The teacher was most merciful and let us get half credit if we went back and filled in the correct answer. That should bump the grade up to a higher A. I am not sure about this test tonight. I've got much of the day to study - and am doing just that. Hopefully the Kinesiology teacher will give us a "name bank" for the muscles. I can't count on it. He didn't for our skeletal test a few weeks ago. Got to pour over it all today and hope for enough recall tonight to pass this thing.

I've got to close for now. For those who read this blog - offer up a prayer. I've got to saturate before using my brain tonight.
