O ROSTAM AND SOHRAB'S MUSCLES OF UPPER LIMB

The second post of GENRE:MEDICINE is about the muscles of the  upper limb....also can be called as  MUSCLES of the ARM,FOREARM and HANDS in particular.Muscles are very important for the movements that we perform everyday...n especially the muscles of arm,forearm n hands are of great importance...

The main idea behind writing about them was  to create a general awareness amongst the non medical individuals about the muscles of upper limb.....making their anatomical and medical terminologies familiar to the non medical individuals ...or their naming in general....and also while performing certain actions or movements a non medical individual must have an idea that which muscle is used or employed...
I have discussed in a rhyming fashion  some of the very main muscles of the arm, forearm and hands because at this level it would be fruitless.to talk about all of the muscles of upper limb..it won't be understandable for them

I have added the names of rostam and sohrab  to the title.. because both of them were the heroes in the persian  mythology.....if u guys have came across the persian epic shahnameh....it would be very easy to understand why i have added them to the title of the post...all that i can say, they were the strong brave men...the father and the son...n muscles of upper limb's post needed the mentioning of some great,brave n muscular men i must say.....


The actions of some of the  very major n important muscles are written below ....their application in our daily lives....in an easier way n in a rhyming fashion...the muscles i have mentioned would be in the CAPITAL LETTERS....so here's some anatomy mixed with PAKISTANI CULTURE n daily life...hope u guys would appreciate the idea of it n would gain something useful out  of it...



                         'O ROSTAM AND SOHRAB'S MUSCLES OF UPPER LIMB'




O rostam and sohrab's muscles of upper limb
Your major and important muscles would be given a short glimpse



I'm LATISSIMUS DORSI involved in extension,adduction and medial rotation of the arm for which I'm specially assigned
While swimming the movements of swimmer's arms are majorly because of me everytime



In Pakistani 'luddi' folk dance SERRATUS ANTERIOR comes into play
When people raise their arms above their heads in a delightful and happiest way




SERRATUS ANTERIOR is also used in boxer's forward punch when the arm is pushed forward in the horizontal position
Have you ever seen Amir khan's victory providing final forward punch with great interest ,gravity and concentration




When Muslims flex their elbow joints during salat/namaz for 'Allah -hu-akbar' to say
A trio of BICEPS BRACHII, CORACHOBRACHIALIS and BRACHIALIS is perfectly employed this way



TRICEPS extends elbow joint;can observe its action when people stand straight respectfully for the national anthem with their forearm fully extended at both sides
Either our Pakistani cricket/hockey team utter the words 'pak sar zameen shadbad' or children standing in school's morning assembly lines




When a kid falls down from his bicycle and gets his elbow hurt
ANCONEUS muscle has suffered exactly  the site of the injury confirms




Remember the times when Saqlain Mushtaq used to bowl; also known as The Offspin Magician
Just because his Small Muscles of the Hand including 4 LUMBRICALS and 8 INTEROSSEI were in co-ordination so magnificent
