Anatomy On The Go

One strategy you could use to help you remember and understand human anatomy systems is to determine how systems connect with one another. You might find this fascinating and interesting anyway, which makes it doubly effective. It’s good for remembering and understanding and it draws your attention and interest In the second part of the episode, I provide a bit of a framework for how to structure...

There are hundreds and hundreds of muscles right? So, since there are hundreds of muscles and each muscle has two attachments, origin and insertion, that’s a lot to keep track of. Let’s break it down just to the attachments for some of the muscles of the upper limb so you can get a win and really nail those down.

In this episode, we will chat about how muscles move and what they attach to, and we’ll take a deeper look into the deltoid muscle. We’ll talk about synergists and antagonists and get started with some terms.

I wonder if you can relate to any of these: I am never going to learn this. This is so much information. I am so overwhelmed. I don’t even know where to start. If you can, listen in.

On a daily basis, you are likely using your pushing muscles in various ways. Maybe you push boxes on a shelf or push something you bought at the store into the back of a van. Perhaps you push a kid on a swing or push an opponent away from you on the court or field of play. What are the main muscles you are using when you push? Let’s check ‘em out To learn more about Amino Co and get 30% off with t...

Deep inside the muscles, invisible to the naked eye, we have a structure called the sarcomere, which contains these tiny proteins called myosin and actin. They interact with each other and the way they do creates muscle contraction in a muscle. There’s a bit more to this process and to learn all about that, keep on listening and we’ll dive right into it. To learn more about Amino Co and get 30% of...

Climbing the stairs involves a bunch of different muscles, including hip, thigh, and leg, not to mention core stabilizers. Plus, when they contract they need to be activated by the nervous system, and they need some extra blood flow. In this episode you’ll learn, practice, and review the muscles that are needed to climb the stairs.

Let’s say you’re going to the pub later with a friend, having some fish and chips and a cold beverage to wash it down. And let’s say you know your friend well enough to watch their throat as they swallow and speak. You’ll see the contraction of multiple muscles that enable the movement of the voice box, the larynx, and the change of various dimensions. Check it out, but try to not be overly weird...

Today, we are going to the other side. The other side of the forearm, that is. Let’s say you went to the gym today and threw some weight around or swung a kettlebell. Or you worked in the yard over the weekend and you were using tools of various types, as you gripped those tools and dug and carved your way to a new landscape. Well, you gotta let go of those objects, whether it be weights or tools....

Right now, if you look down at your forearm and hand, you can perform all kinds of movements: rotate your radius around your ulna, move your hand toward your forearm by bending your wrist, flex your fingers, straighten them right back out. Many, many muscles beneath your skin are helping you do this. Let’s chat about these muscles. Keep on listening to learn more.

By the time you’re done with this episode, my hope is that you’ll be able to head back to your lab group, study group, or your own study cube and be able to confidently identify the bones and most important landmarks and their purpose. You can use the tips you learn today and maybe these tips will inspire you to come up with your own unique system. Let’s do it. To support the podcast, go to https:...

The human body has an unbelievable capacity to move. The muscles move your limbs forward, backward, to the side, you can rotate your radius around your ulna, you can move your body parts back toward the body, etc. There are precise terms to describe these movements. And using these terms can help you get all the muscles organized and learn the muscles effectively. Why? Keep on listening to find ou...
