My artifact is a picture of my mom giving me a hot stone massage. For studying purposes, my mom gave me a few massages to teach me more in depth about the muscles I was learning about in class. My mom would also quiz me to see if I knew each muscle she was massaging and what movements they were important for as well as flexion and extension of each counter muscle. This was the most efficient study tactic I had ever used for class before, and my mom's anatomy knowledge helped me gain more knowledge in this class then I expected.
Dance 493: Anatomy for Dance
The most beneficial part of the anatomy for dancers class was the hands on class once a week. After learning a particular muscle group for the week on Monday's and Wednesday's, we would have a class with hands on massage and finding muscles in class on Friday's. With a partner, we would find the muscles we were learning about in class on one another, massage them, and learn about their counter muscles and range of motion with the ligaments and joints they connected to. We also moved our bodies and discussed anatomical definitions for movements in dance class such as the anatomical definition for turn out, which is the greater trochanter rotating under the icialtuberosity.

We also had a page of anatomy questions to take home and complete once a week. Some of these questions were a hard, but it would help me learn the muscles along with the lectures and hands on muscle work in class!
Anatomy Questions
1. What are the two parts of the Gastrocnemius? Where is the soleus found in relation to the Gastrocnemius?
2. What distal ends of the tibia and fibula increase the stability of the ankle joint? What third bone do these two bones attach and articulate with? How many muscles insert on the third bone mentioned?
3. Why would T11 and T12 have greater rotation in the thoracic and lumbar spinal region?
4. What muscle is known as the standing and walking muscle that assists in abduction of the hip? What other muscles are found in the lateral compartment of the hip joint?
5. What are the three parts of the thoracic cage and their locations?
6. How do you stretch the rectus fermoris? (Position of the hip and knee) The rectus femoris is monoarticular/polyarticular?(circle one)
7. What ligament runs posteriorly from the ishium to the back of the femoral neck?
8. Hamstrings restrict the ROM of hip flexion when the knee is ___________?
9. ___________ causes compression of the abdomen and assists in flexion of the trunk.
10. The fibers in the transversus are essentially ___________. They terminate anteriorly in a broad ___________.
11. The posterior part of the patella has thickest layer of cartilage in the body and protects the patella from the incredible pressure applied by the _____________ when the knee is flexed.
12. What are the three muscles in the Erector Spinae Group? Name a characteristic of each muscle.
13. What are the clavicles two joints? What kind of joints are they?
14. The _________________ has two heads, the sternal head and the clavicular head. This muscle assists in what?
15. _____________ is where the radius and ulna are parallel to each other, while _____________ is where the radius crosses over the ulna.
16. What is the superficial extensor of the forearm and what actions does it assist in?
17. When the cervical (and upper thoracic) spine are fixed, contraction of the __________ elevates ribs 1 and 2 and assists in inspiration.
18. The _______ is unique because it does not articulate with any other bone and is located between the mandible and larynx, beneath the base of the tongue.
Answers
1. Gastocnemius lateral and medial heads
The soleus is located
2. The medial malleolus and the lateral malleolus increase the stability of the ankle joint. The tibia and fibula “clasp” to the talus bone.
No muscles insert on the talus.
3. T11 and T12 are both attached to floating ribs
Because of the shape of the spinous process and inferior articular processes on T11, it allows for a good range of motion in the T11/T12 joint. These motions include flexion, extension, sidebending, and rotation.
4. Gluteus Medius
Other lateral compartment muscles Gluteus Minimus and Tensor Fascia Lata
5. Vertebrae- posteriorly
Sternum- anteriorly
Ribs- laterally
6. The hip must be in flexion and the knee in extension
Polyarticular because it acts on two joints
7. Ishiofemoral ligament
8. Extended (e.g. toe touches)
9. Bilateral contraction
10. Horizontal
Aponeurosis
11. Quadriceps
12. Spinalis- smallest and lies closest to the spine in the lamina groove
Iliocostalis-It forms a visible mound alongside the lumbar and thoracic spine with the thick Longissimus.
13. Sternoclavicular- synovial; saddle joint
Acromioclavicular- synovial; gliding joint
14. Sternocleidomastoid- assists in inhalation and flexion of the neck (also laterally flexes the head to the same side, and rotates the head to the opposite side)
15. Supination
Pronation
16. Extensor Digitorum- assists in extension and aBduction of the fingers.
17. Scalenes
18. Hyoid
