Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Where is the teres minor located?

Answer: Upper back

The teres minor rotates the arm and brings the arm towards the body.
2. The semitendinosus is one of the hamstring muscles.

Answer: True

This muscle works in conjunction with the biceps femoris and semimembranosus to "curl" the lower leg up, and gets its name from the fact that it becomes tendinous in the middle of its length all the way to its end.
3. The extensor carpi radialis longus extends the wrist and abducts the hand.

Answer: True

It connects the humerus (upper arm bone) to the hand.
4. The serratus anterior raises the scapula (shoulder blade) up and pulls the shoulder back.

Answer: False

Located on the lower chest/ upper abdomen, the serratus anterior pulls the shoulder blade down and to the front.
5. Which muscle, locate in the thigh, is the longest in the human body?

Answer: sartorius

The sartorius slants across the front of the leg and then down towards the knee.
6. This muscle blinks the eye.

Answer: orbicularis oculi

Over time, this muscle can cause "crow's feet".
7. This muscle flexes the ankle.

Answer: tibialis anterior

This muscle runs alongside the shin (tibia).
8. These are the three main types of muscle.

Answer: cardiac, smooth, skeletal

Cardiac muscles are found in the heart; smooth muscles surround or are in the other internal organs. Skeletal muscles are the voluntarily-controlled muscles and account for approximately 23% of a woman's weight and around 40% of a man's.
9. This muscle raises the eyebrows.

Answer: epicranius

This muscle has two parts: frontalis, which lies over the front of the skull, and occipitalis, which lies over the rear. This muscle also causes the forehead to wrinkle.
10. The pectineus muscle's primary function is to bring the arm across the body.

Answer: False

The pectineus is on the upper middle of the thigh and moves the leg towards the body.
