HUMAN ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY MUSCLE PROJECT This project is designed to help you learn the location of some of the human muscles. You will be identifying muscles from both the ANTERIOR and POSTERIOR sides of the body. Some of the muscles will be characterized as SUPERFICIAL while others are described as DEEP. The goal of this exercise is to recognize the muscles in their natural (sometimes exaggerated) condition and position. Make sure you follow the directions carefully! 1) Your DUE DATE is 12/11 and 12. It will be graded as a project. The rubric for determining your grade will be provided to you. 2) Find magazine pictures or actual photographs of humans displaying their muscles. Use humans that are performing a variety of actions. For example, the Orbicularis oris, a muscle around the mouth, is visible only when your lips are "PUCKERED" or "KISSING". This muscle is often referred to as the kissing muscle. a) You may download pictures from the Internet, but make sure they clearly show the muscle. If in doubt don't use it. b) One picture you use in your project must be a picture of you! c) Choose pictures that CLEARLY ILLUSTRATE the muscle. This means the muscle will be its CONTRACTED state. 3) Display the muscles in a booklet form, on a poster board, using construction paper, or whatever format you like best. a) Organize the pictures and any supporting information (like charts or keys) for easy reference. b) Label the muscles clearly and neatly,and make sure they are spelled properly. USE EACH MUSCLE ONLY ONCE. c) You may use as many or as few pictures as you feel necessary. 4) See the following LIST of SUPERFICIAL MUSCLES.There are 40muscles listed. You are REQUIRED TO LABEL 25 of these. Pick the ones you can find the best pictures for. You must identify each muscle by name. You should use the labels to indicate their general location. 5) There is also a LIST of DEEP MUSCLES.There are 15 listed.You are REQUIRED TO LABEL 10 of these. These DEEP MUSCLES will not be visible on your human muscles pictures. You must identify each muscle by name. You should use the labels to indicate their general location. 6) Be sure you use some method to DISTINGUISH your labels for SUPERFICIAL and DEEP muscles. 7) FOR ALL MUSCLES THAT ARE USED: a) Prepare a table that shows ORIGIN, INSERTION, and ACTION. You may simplify the origins and insertions to just the bones involved. HAVE FUN!
