A concise overview of various muscles and their primary functions in the human body. It covers muscles such as the rectus abdominis, external oblique, internal oblique, transversus abdominis, erector spinae, sternocleidomastoid, serratus anterior, pectoralis minor, rhomboid major and minor, levator scapulae, trapezius, subscapularis, supraspinatus, infraspinatus, teres minor and major, pectoralis major, latissimus dorsi, deltoid, biceps brachii, brachialis, triceps brachii, flexor and extensor digitorum, gluteus minimus, medius and maximus, semimembranosus, semitendinosus, biceps femoris, iliopsoas, vastus intermedius, medialis and lateralis, rectus femoris, sartorius, adductor brevis, longus and magnus, gracilis, extensor and flexor digitorum longus, and gastrocnemius. Each muscle is paired with its corresponding action, such as flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation, making it a useful reference for students studying anatomy or physical therapy.
