All Muscles
- Torso Muscles
- Back Muscles
- Chest Muscles
- Abdominal Muscles
The abdominal muscles form a key part of the human body’s core structure. They play a crucial role in core stability, posture, and movement, supporting the trunk and protecting internal organs. Here is a list of the human abdominal muscles: Rectus abdominis External oblique Internal oblique Cremaster Transversus abdominis Pyramidalis Quadratus lumborum
- Pelvic Floor Muscles
The pelvic floor muscles are a group of muscles at the base of the pelvis that support your internal organs, help control bladder and bowel movements, contribute to core stability, and play a vital role in sexual health. Here is a list of the human pelvic floor and perineal muscles: Deep Pelvic Floor Muscles (Pelvic Diaphragm) Levator Ani Group Pubococcygeus Puborectalis Iliococcygeus Coccygeus (Ischiococcygeus) Superficial Perineal Muscles Superficial Transverse Perineal Muscle Bulbospongiosus Ischiocavernosus External Anal Sphincter Deep Transverse Perineal Muscle
- Perineal Muscles
Muscles located in the perineum (between the pubic symphysis and the coccyx), involved in urogenital and anal sphincter control are collectively referred to as the perineal muscles. Here is a list of the muscles in the human perineum: Superficial Perineal Pouch Bulbospongiosus Ischiocavernosus Superficial Transverse Perineal Deep Perineal Pouch Deep Transverse Perineal External Urethral Sphincter Sphincter Ani External anal sphincter Internal anal sphincter
- Upper Limb Muscles
- Lower Limb Muscles
Numerous muscles in the lower limb help us move our legs and feet when standing, walking, sitting, playing, or doing anything that involves the lower body. The largest muscles in the human body, the glutes, are located in this region. Here is a list of all the lower limb muscles: Iliac Muscles Iliopsoas Psoas major Psoas minor Iliacus Gluteal Muscles (Glutes) Tensor fasciae latae Gluteal Muscles Gluteus maximus Gluteus medius Gluteus minimus Lateral Rotator Group Piriformis Obturator externus Superior gemellus Obturator internus Inferior gemellus Quadratus femoris Thigh Muscles Anterior compartment Articularis genus Sartorius Quadriceps Femoris Rectus femoris Vastus lateralis Vastus intermedius Vastus medialis Posterior Compartment Hamstring Muscles Biceps femoris Semitendinosus Semimembranosus Medial Compartment Adductor Muscles of the Hip Gracilis Pectineus Adductor brevis Adductor longus Adductor magnus Leg Muscles Anterior compartment Tibialis anterior Extensor hallucis longus Extensor digitorum longus Fibularis tertius Posterior Compartment Superficial Posterior Leg Muscles Triceps surae Gastrocnemius Soleus Plantaris Deep Posterior Leg Muscles Popliteus Muscles of the Tarsal Tunnel Flexor hallucis longus Flexor digitorum longus Tibialis posterior Lateral Compartment Fibularis longus Fibularis brevis Foot Muscles Dorsal Muscles of the Foot Extensor digitorum brevis Extensor hallucis brevis Dorsal interossei of foot Plantar Muscles of the Foot First Layer Abductor hallucis Flexor…
