    Activity: Muscle Location Riddle

    TRANSCRIPT

    I am a muscle on the anterior side of the human body. I am superior to the iliopsoas but inferior to the deltoids. I am medial to the brachialis but lateral to the rectus abdominis.

    • Ipsilateral
    • On the same side
    • Proximal
    • Next to or nearest the point of attachment or origin (toward the center of the body)
