Muscle Function Quiz (30+ Q&A) – BIO 2026 – Anatomy of Major Muscles, Movements, & Injury Insights

This document is a complete question-and-answer guide focused on the structure and function of major human muscles, designed for students in the 6th hour BIO 2026 course. It includes over 30 questions with verified correct answers related to muscle names, their anatomical functions, and practical examples of body movements. Key muscle groups covered include the pectoralis major, biceps brachii, gluteus maximus/minimus/medius, sartorius, quadriceps, hamstrings, trapezius, gastrocnemius, splenius, triceps, and more. The quiz also addresses real-world implications such as muscle imbalances (e.g., quad dominance), injury risks (e.g., IT band stress from weak gluteus medius), and posture-related conditions like "text neck." Students will gain a detailed understanding of movement mechanics including flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, and rotation as they relate to common activities such as walking, sitting, breathing, and lifting. Perfect for: High school and college students in anatomy or biology courses Pre-health or kinesiology students reviewing muscle functions PE or sports science learners studying body mechanics and injury prevention Tutors and instructors needing a functional muscle review handout Keywords: muscle quiz, human anatomy, gluteus maximus, quadriceps, hamstrings, sartorius, biceps, triceps, serratus anterior, muscle movement, muscle function, BIO 2026, knee flexion, hip rotation, IT band, muscle injury, body mechanics
