The fifth leading cause of death, and probably the first leading cause of disabilities, is a neurological condition commonly referred to as a stroke. Do you know what causes a stroke? How would you explain this to your friend or family member? Can you explain what is going on during a stroke to someone who has no knowledge of medical terminology? This discussion will push you to consider how you might explain muscle function to someone without a medical background.
Instructions
Consider that a friend or family member has come to you and asked how a stroke affects the body’s muscles. Describe the normal function of a muscle and how a stroke affects the muscle. In your response, of at least 300 words, specifically address the following:
Choose the muscle in which you are most interested, and describe its origin, insertion, and main function.
Choose a specific movement of the body such as flexion of the arm. Which muscle is the prime mover? Which muscle is the antagonist, and which is the synergist for that particular movement?
Mention the lobes of the cerebrum and their primary functions.
Mention the meninges and their function and location.
Describe how a stroke affects the function of the muscle about which you just explained. Remember, you are talking to a friend or family member who has NO medical knowledge. You must write in layman’s terms.

The Pectinium muscle is located in the front section of the upper as well as medial parts of a thigh. This muscle is part of the many muscles that play a role in bringing together the thighs in a process referred to as the abduction. As such the muscle is referred to as the abductor muscle. In addition to the abduction function this muscle plays the major function of medially rotating the entire thigh. The pectinium muscle further plays the role of flexing the hip (Rutz, Gaston, Tirosh & brunner, R. 2012). As such, the muscle plays a critical role in movement and locomotion.
Flexion refers to the Process of pulling together. The contraction of flexor muscles pull together two borns that are connected via a joint. This typically cases a bent at the joint in question. Hip flexion involves the moving closer of the leg borns and the spine borns that are connected via the hip joint. In this movement, the muscle that is the prime mover is the Psoas. The synergist muscles include Pectinium muscle, iliacus, rectus femoris tensor and tensor fascia latae. The antagonist muscles in this movement include gluteus maximus, biceps femoris, posterior gluteus medius and deep hip rotators. The neutralizer muscles include gluteus maximus, gluteus minimus and gluteus medius (Rutz, Gaston, Tirosh & brunner, R. 2012).
