Quiz muscles of the body
Muscle Anatomy Quiz
Major muscles anatomy quiz for anatomy and physiology class!
When you are taking anatomy and physiology you will be required to identify major muscles in the human body. This quiz requires labeling, so it will test your knowledge on how to identify these muscles (latissimus dorsi, trapezius, deltoid, biceps brachii, triceps brachii, brachioradialis, pectoralis major, serratus anterior, rectus abdominis, etc.).
Prior to taking this quiz, you might want to watch the muscle song that gives you some rhymes to help you remember locations and action of muscles. In addition, you can review the anatomy muscle song lyrics and notes.

So, you want to learn about human muscle anatomy. But where to start?! The number of muscles of the body is estimated to be around 600, so there’s certainly a lot to cover.
A good way to get started is to learn using a regional approach. For example, starting by learning the muscles of the upper extremity, then the muscles of the lower extremity, and so on. Keep reading to discover our favorite tools for learning this topic.

Human body muscle diagrams
Muscle diagrams are a great way to get an overview of all of the muscles within a body region.
Studying these is an ideal first step before moving onto the more advanced practices of muscle labeling and quizzes.
If you're looking for a speedy way to learn muscle anatomy, look no further than our anatomy crash courses.
Let’s take a look at how you can use muscle diagrams for maximum benefit.
Labeled diagram
View the muscles of the upper and lower extremity in the diagrams below. Use the location, shape and surrounding structures to help you memorize each muscle. Once you’re feeling confident, it’s time to test yourself.
[Muscles of the arm and shoulder]
[Muscles of the hip and thigh (Anterior view)] [Muscles of the hip and thigh (Posterior view)]
Unlabeled diagram
See if you can label the muscles yourself on the worksheet available for download below.
If you’re struggling, don’t be hard on yourself. There really is a lot to remember, so consider taking one of our muscle quizzes covering the different muscles of the body to improve your confidence (more on these below). You can test and retest as your knowledge levels advance.

Take the Test - Upper Limb Anatomy
Test your knowledge. Muscles, ligaments, nerves.
Can we start?
| Start test |
1:2
A 2:1 ratio is used to evaluate scapular and shoulder motion. That is, when raising the upper limb by 90°, 60° falls on the movement of the shoulder joint, and 30° - on the movement of the scapula
5
is incorrect, there are four of them - an appropriate, subdue, small round and subserviped muscles
| Further |
| Result |
Lowering the scapula
Incorrect
Raising the scapula upward
Incorrect
Displacement of the lower angle of the scapula laterally
With the simultaneous reduction of the upper and lower parts of the trapezoid muscle, a pair of forces is formed that contribute to the rotation of the shoulder blades of its lower angle
| Further |
Internal rotation
False
External rotation
, when completely resigned or flexion, by virtue of the anatomical structure, the shoulder rotation of
Flexion in the thoracic region
is incorrect
| Result |
Adduction of the limb to the body
Wrong, this is adduction
Abduction of the limb from the body
Correctly, abduction in anatomy is the limb leading towards
Flexion of the limb in the joint
is incorrect, this is called flexia
| Result |
Biceps brachii and triceps brachii
That's right, that's right
Cracute-breed and two-headed muscle of the shoulder
Nonsense
Crequel-breed and three-headed shoulder muscle
It is incorrect, look at the textbook
| Result |
Suprascapular nerve0003
Trunkofugal
That's right, and the name speaks for itself: truncus - trunk, torso, fugo - I put to flight Their development

| Check |
9000
Radial nerve
False, the most characteristic symptom of damage to this nerve is a "hanging hand" when the outstretched arm is parallel to the floor
Ulnar nerve little finger, poor hand control, difficulty controlling fingers when performing tasks (for example, when typing on the keyboard or playing instruments), sensitivity to cold, pain or weakness in the elbow joint.
Middle Nerve
Accurately, damage to this nerve is turned into a person’s hand into “Blessing Twen”
| Further |
Rotates the arm outward
No, wrong
Is an accessory muscle of respiration
This is exactly the case - with the fixed upper limb, expands the chest, serving the auxiliary respiratory muscle
Raises the hand
Non -
With shoulder retraction
Wrong.
Abduction is abduction, while retraction moves the arm backwards (toward the back of the body)
Correct, contraction is called eccentric, in which a tense muscle lengthens under load
Isometric contraction
Incorrect - with such a contraction, the muscle develops tension, but does not shorten (and does not lengthen), that is, the length of the muscle is constant

Future specialist - physical therapist or trainer
If you decide to take this test, then you are definitely interested in the topic of functional anatomy, right? There is still not enough knowledge, but if you wish, everything will work out, and for this you need to learn. You can read books, for example, A. Kapanji's textbooks. And you can also come to functional anatomy courses at the Rehab Pro school, especially since there is a special course specifically on the topic of the upper limb.
| Again? |
Specialist - good knowledge of physical rehabilitation
Congratulations, you have a good knowledge of the subject at a basic level. But there is still work to be done - deeper knowledge will help in working with patients. Come to the course on physical rehabilitation of the upper limb at the Rehab Pro school, where there will be not only theory, but also practice.
| Again? |
Bravo, you are a true functional anatomy guru!
Excellent result - where did you study? Probably functional anatomy textbooks are your reference books! Your clients are lucky, you know exactly how the human body works and understand well how muscles and ligaments interact with each other. This does not happen very often in our country. So you are a rare bird. Maybe it's time to think about teaching?

Striated muscle tissue is also called skeletal or somatic. It makes up the muscles of the musculoskeletal system.
Is there an error in the question?
-
Question 2 of 10
What are the properties of muscle tissue?
-
Only excitability
-
Conductivity
-
Only contractility
-
Contractility and excitability
Correct answer
Incorrect answer
Explanation for the correct answer
The main properties of muscle tissue are excitability and contractility.

-
Question 5 of 10
Two groups of opposing muscles take part in the performance of any movement by a person: flexors and extensors of the joints. Flexion in the joint is carried out with the contraction of the flexor muscles and the simultaneous relaxation of the extensor muscles.
