1.      (a) Biceps brachii

         action: flexes forearm at elbow joint, supinates forearm at radioulnar joints, and flexes arm at shoulder joint

         innervation: musculocutaneous nerve

        (b) Deltoid

        action: lateral fibers abduct arm at shoulder joint; anterior fibers flex and medially rotate arm at shoulder joint; posterior fibers extend and laterally rotate arm at shoulder joint

        innervation: axillary nerve

2.     (a) Tibialis anterior

        action: dorsiflexes and inverts foot

        innervation: deep fibular (peroneal) nerve

       (b) Gastrocnemius

        action: plantar flexes foot, flexes leg at knee joint

        innervation: tibial nerve

3.     (a) Rectus abdominis

        action: flexes lumbar region of vertebral column, produce forward bending of waist

        innervation: thoracic spinal nerves (T7-T12)

       (b) Iliopsoas

       action: hip flexor, psoas major and iliacus muscles acting together flex thigh at hip joint, rotate thigh laterally, and flex trunk on hip as in sitting up from supine position

       innervation: lumbar spinal nerves (L2-L3)

4.    (a) Internal Intercostals

       action: contraction draws adjacent ribs together to further decrease anteroposterior and lateral dimensions of thoracic cavity during forced exhalation

       innervation: thoracic spinal nerves (T2-T12)

      (b) Diaphragm

      action: increases and decreases vertical dimension of thoracic cavity by contracting and relaxing (inhaling and exhaling, respectively)

       innervation: phrenic nerves containing axons from cervical spinal nerves (C3-C5)
