Muscles and smiles:)

Muscles- we have A LOT of them (just in case you didn’t know…;))
And I have to memorize them…

Till Monday I have 45 muscles (they are all in the arm!) that I have to know by heart.

And when the muscles have names like sternocleidomastoides and Extensor carpi radialis longus, and ,to give you an example of one of the muscle that I have to memorize, looks like this…:

M. flexor pollicis brevis
Origin:
· Tub. Ossis trapezii
· Retinaculum flexorum (c.superficialis)
· Os trapezoideum
· Os capitatum
· Ligg.metacarpea palmary (c.profundum)

Insertion:
· Radial sesamoid bone of thumb
· Base of proximal phalanx of thumb

Function:
· Flexion in CMC joint of thumb
· Adduction in CMC joint of thumb
· Opposition in CMC joint of thumb
· Flexion in MCP joint of thumb

..and that I actually find a video like this helpful:

…..then you’ll might understand, that it’s a bit hard/demotivating from time to time… But I’ve chosen to study it myself, and I still want to study it- that’s almost amazing, he he!:)

And then, when the motivation starts to decrease it’s great to have some things that makes me smile! Just today:
