Textbook chapters (only one of the following books is necessary, the information covered in the concept questions is found in each of the books).

1. Compare and contrast the terms origin, insertion, and action as they pertain to skeletal muscles and as they relate to the functions of agonists, antagonists, and synergists.
3. Know the location, action, origin, and insertion – both in words and pictures – for each of the muscles. Note: questions on actions will NOT be verbatim from the book – you must UNDERSTAND the actions, not just have a reference list. The best way to learn actions is to locate the muscle on your own body and see what happens when you contract it.
