LESSON OBJECTIVE
Performance: Describe the relationship between bones and muscles such as movement produced by
skeletal muscles is related to muscle attachment sites, lever systems and leverage,
effects of fascicle arrangement, and coordination within muscle groups.
Conditions:
The student will be presented a powerpoint presentation by the instructor and will have
all necessary references made available to him/her.
Standard:
1.
The student will be expected to describe the below information included within the
teaching points to the instructor at the end of the lesson and in a written exam.
TEACHING POINTS
1. Describe how skeletal muscle produce movement.
2. Identify the principal skeletal muscles.
3. Describe the homeostatic imbalances related to the muscular system.

INTRODUCTION
Allocated Time:
Review:
5 Minutes
You have had previous lectures on anatomy and physiology during the Combat
medic course, this lecture will built upon what you have already learned.
Objective:
The relationship between bones and muscles is established. Movement
produced by skeletal muscles is related to muscle attachment sites, lever
systems and leverage, effects of fascicle arrangement, and coordination
within muscle groups. The criteria for naming skeletal muscles are
listed. Principal skeletal muscles of the body are considered by region.
The muscles are described according to origin, insertion, and action
with additional relevant information also included such as group
movement, innervation, and appropriate clinical applications. General
disorders discussed include running injuries and compartment
syndrome.
Importance:
Nursing Assitants work in different health care setting so it is important to gain
an understanding of this subject as it will apply to the clinical setting.
Fit:
This is the eleventh chapter on anatomy and physiology.
Approach:
You will be presented the subject in a lecture format and will be tested using a
written exam at a later date.
Control Statement:
If you have any questions during the lesson please feel free to ask.
BODY
1. Teaching Point: Describe how skeletal muscle produce movement.
Minutes
Allocated Time:
We
will now go over how skeletal muscle produce movement.
Introduction:
Learner Participation:
Knowledge Lesson Please follow along with your handouts and take notes.
Skill Lesson
Powerpoint presentation with associated handouts.
Learning Support:
1. Distinguish the tissues that constitute the skeletal system.
Muscle Attachment Sites: Origin and Insertion
2. Define the terms origin and insertion.
3. Show the relationship between the usual location of the belly of a muscle and the more
mobile bones of its insertion.
4. Describe tenosynovitis and its possible causes.
Lever System and Leverage

Muscular System
5. Define a lever and fulcrum and compare the three classes of levers on the basis of
placement of the fulcrum, effort, and resistance, with respect to examples of muscle
systems on the body.
Effects of Fascicle Arrangement
6. Identify the various arrangements of muscle fibers in a skeletal muscle and relate the
arrangements to the strength of contraction and range of motion.
Coordination Within Muscle Groups
7. Discuss most body movements as activities of groups of muscles by explaining the roles
of the prime mover, antagonist, synergist, and fixator.
8. Examine the effects of stretching for range of motion and mobility of soft tissues.
2. Teaching Point: Identify the principal skeletal muscles.
