1. Frontal View:
- Head and Neck:
- 1. Temporalis (side of head)
- 2. Masseter (jaw muscle)
- 3. Sternocleidomastoid (neck muscle)
- 4. Trapezius (upper back and neck)
- Chest and Arms:
- 5. Pectoralis Major (chest muscle)
- 6. Deltoid (shoulder muscle)
- 7. Biceps Brachii (front of upper arm)
- 8. Triceps Brachii (back of upper arm)
- 9. Brachialis (under biceps, front of upper arm)
- Torso:
- 10. Rectus Abdominis (abdominal muscle, "six-pack")
- 11. External Oblique (side abdominal muscle)
- 12. Latissimus Dorsi (large back muscle)
- Legs:
- 13. Gluteus Maximus (buttock muscle)
- 14. Hamstrings (back of thigh)
- 15. Quadriceps (front of thigh)
- 16. Gastrocnemius (calf muscle)
---
1. Temporalis: A fan-shaped muscle located on the side of the head, involved in jaw movement.
2. Masseter: A strong muscle of mastication (chewing) located on the side of the face.
3. Sternocleidomastoid: A long, strap-like muscle in the neck that helps move the head.
4. Trapezius: A large, triangular muscle covering the upper and middle back, involved in shoulder and neck movements.
5. Pectoralis Major: The large chest muscle responsible for moving the arms.
6. Deltoid: The rounded muscle forming the contour of the shoulder.
7. Biceps Brachii: The muscle on the front of the upper arm, responsible for bending the elbow.
8. Triceps Brachii: The muscle on the back of the upper arm, responsible for straightening the elbow.
9. Brachialis: A muscle located under the biceps, assisting in elbow flexion.
10. Rectus Abdominis: The muscle commonly known as the "six-pack," responsible for trunk flexion.
11. External Oblique: A broad, flat muscle on the side of the abdomen, aiding in trunk rotation and compression.
12. Latissimus Dorsi: A large, flat muscle in the lower back, involved in arm movement.
13. Gluteus Maximus: The largest muscle in the buttocks, responsible for hip extension.
14. Hamstrings: A group of muscles at the back of the thigh, responsible for knee flexion.
15. Quadriceps: A group of four muscles at the front of the thigh, responsible for knee extension.
16. Gastrocnemius: The large calf muscle, responsible for plantar flexion of the foot.
