Several criteria were given for the naming of muscles. Match the muscle names (column B) to the criteria (column A). Note that more than one muscle may fit the criterion in some cases. Column A: 1. action of the muscle 2. shape of the muscle 3. location of the origin and/or insertion of the muscle 4. number of origins 5. location of the muscle relative to a bone or body region 6. direction in which the muscle fibers run relative to some imaginary line 7. relative size of the muscle Column B: abdominis transversus biceps brachii deltoid erector spinae external intercostals flexor digitorum superficialis pectoralis major rectus abdominis

Biceps brachii 5. Levator scapulae 6. Flexor carpi radialis 7. Piriformis 8. Gluteus medius 9. Rhomboid major 10. Pectoralis major
