 tensor faciae latae

   muscles of anterior torso

 trapezius

 sternocleidomastoid

 pectoralis minor

 soleus

muscles on the anterior surface of the body are usually involved in FLEXION

muscles on the posterior surface of the body are usually involved in EXTENSION

muscles on the medial surface of the body are usually involved in ADDUCTION

muscles on the lateral surface of the body are usually involved in ABDUCTION

 gluteus maximus

rhomboideous minor

 tibialis anterior

 extensor carpi ulnaris

                                             muscle to bone...
 origin:
 the origin of a muscle is the point where it attaches to a bone that remains   stable/immobile during the muscle's action. usually a proximal attachment. 

 insertion:
 the insertion is the point where the muscle attaches to a bone that moves  during the muscle's action. usually the distal attachment.  

 movement:
 when a muscle contracts, the insertion pulls the bone it's attached to,   bringing it closer to the origin. 

 serratus anterior

 pectoralis major

 example:
 biceps brachii:
 the origin is on  the scapula
the insertion 
is on the radius
                             when the biceps contracts, it pulls the radius closer to the scapula, causing flexion of the elbow

   muscles of the arm

in the purple boxes will be on the practical lab quiz.
