Can't remember names of important muscles on your body?
Staying up to three in the morning chanting religiously those increasingly hard names under your breath?
Well, guess what? I've found the perfect solution!
Sing ALONG!!
Lyrics are as posted on http://www.songsforteaching.com/scienceinsong/muscularsystem.htm
What everyone (aka ME) learned from this song was that its insanely easy..in melody that is. We have 600 muscles on our body, but the entire song lists eleven. They're the most important ones, the big ones, I guess.
Masseter - Smile! Say Cheese! Yep, they're the muscles that your Dear ole' Aunt Molly pinches at every family gathering.
Sternomastoids - You know that worm like part that seems to be a ringworm inside Arnold Swarzheneggar's neck everytime he rotates his head? Yeah, apparently, its not a worm but a muscle that helps you move your neck.
Trapezius - Its a triangle in the back of your neck. Just wait until your math teacher asks you to compute the length of each angle and its degree.
Deltoids - It may sound like a breath mint, but instead of lifting your bad breath away, it lifts your arm. More useful anyways.
Biceps - When Swarzheneggar flexes his, I think of ham. Seriously, his muscles are humongus!! But, really, this is what every guy tries flexing for the girl he likes when in reality, he doesn't really have much there. (In my opinion, of course)
Triceps - Extension, Extension, Extension
Pectorals - I like to call them male breasts. My friend Ian can move his up and down. It's quite funny...in a really strange way. It attaches your sternum to your humerus
Latissimus dorsi - Latin. Large & Flat and located in your back.
Quadriceps - It's true. It really is strong. Sad thing about being a tennis player; Your quadriceps becomes really large and muscular. But, when you stop exercising for a few months, it becomes all jiggly and fat. Either way, it's hard to look good in certain shoes with those type of quadriceps.
GLUTEUS MAXIMUS - Who does NOT know this? It's the word we use to annoy our teachers. Ex: "Arnold, you're such an a**".
Teacher: That's improper language!!
Student: "Okay. Arnold, you're such a big, fat Gluteus Maximus".
Very proper language. Scathing, yet so intelligent. This has been quite a long post. But its okay, I made it very worthwhile reading
