I want to use this media to talk a little on the muscles. Before now i thought muscles were only located in the arms. No i was wrong.
There are two types of muscles in the body.
1.Skeletal muscles(Which will be our main focus for today)

  1. Smooth muscles: These are the muscles in the internal organs that help in the proper functioning of the organs. For example when food is being eaten, it is the action of the smooth muscles that enables the food to be propelled throughout the whole gastrointestinal system until it is digested and the waste products are excreted.
     Skeletal muscles

The skeletal muscles (meat) in animals are those muscles that are attached to bones and are used for day to day physical activities like walking, running, lifting e.t.c.
If you create a mental picture of a muscular person or in the photos i posed above, you would come to see the results gotten from dedication and hardwork involving series of trainings which could have taken months or years.
What i really want to bring to people's notice today is to mention the names of each of the muscles. Ok lets begin.

  1. The chest has two muscles- pectoralis major and minor.
  2. Coming down from there is a network of muscles which is popularly known as six packs or Abs in which many men are dying for just to look sexy. It varies from six to eight in some people depending on the intensity of training. It is called the RECTUS ABDOMINIS MUSCLES. A line separates the two portion of the muscles known as linea Alba.
  3. From the sides of the rectus abdominis muscles, inferiorly (downwards) is the external oblique muscles.
  4. Superioly ( upwards ) and laterally (by the side) are fibres of the seratus anterior which is otherwise known as the climbers muscle or the boxer's muscles. Which needs to be strong in mountaineers and climbers and for strong punches in boxers.
  5. Coming up to the shoulder, the muscle covering the shoulder is known as the deltoid muscle.
    6.A little medial to the neck is a large muscle called the trapezius muscle that is very prominent in the WWWE superstar-BATISTA.
    7.Coming to the arms, in front are the biceps(bi-2) which has a lateral and medial head and the posterior(back) region has the triceps(tri-3) which has a short head, medial and lateral head.
    8.The forearm has 17 muscles
  6. The muscles in the palms are responsible for grisping , picking, flexion and extension. They are called the lumbricals.
  7. Coming to the lower limb, The buttocks has the largest muscle in the body known as the gluteus maximus which is very prominent and the most desirable muscle in female body builders
  8. The muscles in the laps are four in number and are referred to as the Quadriceps femoris.(Quad meaning four) and femoris (The bone in that region)
    To be continued.........
