Origins, Insertions, Actions and Innervations Explained | Corporis

[@Corporis]

“Big ol squishy sack of meat flesh” is my favorite video quote in a long time and I’m still laughing at myself

[@reshmasharma6766]

Plz make videos on whole anatomy 😋😋😁

[@Omeetrs]

haha mine too

[@djsodrip_8694]

Broo??

[@graysonkelle3994]

It was a struggle to memorize all the actions, origins, and insertions of the different muscles in the body in A&P. I wish I had seen this video before that class because your explanation on how the origin and insertion points of muscles correlate to their actions made it much easier to remember.

[@Omeetrs]

I’ve binged all if not most of your videos. Thanks for this channel. So informative!! I’m a personal trainer and I find all this very very helpful for myself and clients.

[@tars1307]

Thank you sir! This really helped me with my Physical therapy classes. When you said that the insertion moves towards the origin, it changed my life.

[@Huzaifaorakzai-qx5db]

Hello ❤

[@BB-kb5br]

I'm studying to become a personal trainer and you have no idea how much your videos are helping me with human anatomy. Thank you!

[@lisahopoi9029]

Origin and Insertions of muscles have always been really tough for me to memorize, but it's a lot more helpful to think of their actions.

[@noahcuellar6574]

My A&P prof never went over origin and insertions, so this was really informative video for me. Thank you!

[@angelregis6593]

This was the best quick and precise review of Origin, Insertion, Action, Innervation...Thank you immensely! You rock!💗💯

[@caleighgarcia7792]

I love the way these videos are set up, I feel as if we are actually having a conversation. It makes it more fun and less boring and actually keeps me engaged in the video!

[@surenderbeniwal8578]

Second this! It's like having a conversation with Patrick.

[@sofiawallauch1078]

It was really helpful when you said that when the muscle contracts, the insertion moves toward the origin. This will help me find the origin and insertion points for each muscle by performing the action of the muscle!

[@elisemoreno6252]

I was actually surprised at how many of these terms started coming back to my mind when watching this video and getting to go over some of the ones I had forgotten. Thanks for the great video!

[@surenderbeniwal8578]

Wow! I found the same thing😶. Wish u good luck in whatever u're doing😉.

[@ChristianScandrett]

This is the best way I have seen this explained, I struggle a lot with remembering the actions of each muscle. I had no idea that the orgin was the non moving bone and that was the first part of the muscle name, this will help so much with future classes, thank you!

[@brittneykelsey9261]

I absolutely love all your videos and show them to my high school classes! Thank you!

[@Corporis]

You are so welcome! I'm a high school teacher as well.

[@beautifulgift7]

1st Module Massage Therapy Student here for the Summer 2023 graduating class! Thank you for making this video! The nerd in me is overjoyed! ❤

[@iNoRiJoY13]

This cleared up a lot of the confusion for me, great video and great review!

[@terragilman6473]

I have always been confused by the idea of origin and insertion so your tip of actually moving your body and seeing what muscle moves towards it really helped!

[@michaelalcaraz5272]

Seriously, I am going to start recommending your videos to my buddies. I love how straightforward and detailed your content is. Keep up the amazing work Corp!! Also nice scruff dude.

[@Corporis]

Michael Alcaraz Why thank you! I’ve got more traditional learning stuff in the pipe for over the summer. Just gotta finish this trimester out first!

[@mariacyrilbaldovino1373]

I already recommended it to all my friends lolololl

@@Corporis HOPING FOR YOUR SUCCESS 👏

[@kseniagiacomelli5729]

Once when I was in a sports medicine class in high school, the teacher used me as an example to show everyone the sternocleidomastoid because she said I have a very prominent one... I haven't forgotten it since.

[@dianalira6870]

This video was a great review on the importance of a muscle's origin and insertion. This is one of the tougher things for me to memorize.

[@evaozimec]

I found it very helpful how you said to physically touch the area in which a muscle action is taking place to feel the muscle contract under your fingers and create a mental picture of what's happening!

[@hannahkefalas9995]

I really liked the flashcard with the drawing on it! I will definitely be using that to help me study in my classes this semester.

[@evieolson1460]

You're very good at teaching and presenting in a helpful, interesting, and concise way. Thanks for the video! We'll definitely bee checking out more 👍🏽

[@avajgallo]

I like the thought of muscle actions when finding a muscles origin and insertions. It makes a lot of sense !!

[@alejandravaro1082]

this really helped, thank you ! trying to memorize what my anatomy book says word for word about O, I, and A was driving me crazy. I think the flashcards w/ the drawings would be something that'll work best for me.

[@amandauehara4920]

Alejandra varo i’m here from the same book 😂

[@ahsaancooke8385]

It is very helpful knowing that the insertion point moves toward the origin, knowing this will make things a lot easier

[@alexgourdikian1741]

Another great explanation about muscles. It was really helpful to learn your tips about how to know where the origin and insertion points of the muscle are.

[@audreyoates3242]

All of these tips are so useful. I will definitely be using these videos as a study tool!

[@zoiezantua7002]

first time learning this, the origins and insertions made a lot more sense to me!

[@hannahchacon9621]

The breakdown of these terms was so clarifying thank you so much!

[@SamPatten-cb3fo]

Before I would just memorize the definition of the muscles origin and insertions but your video helped simplify it for me.

[@AylethLizarraga]

This made it easier to understand origin vs insertion, I never understood this topic so this level so it's promising that I feel confident on explaining it by myself

[@cyb3rb4by43]

New subscriber here; I just wanted to say thank you for all your anatomy videos. They are so informative and entertaining!

[@Corporis]

Karalee Beard thank you! More study-help videos coming in August

[@jademalynn3706]

I’m doing massage therapy and all of these books over complicate explanations. Thanks for simplifying it!

[@Monaz185]

These videos are clear to understand and super helpful!

[@chasebibbey2539]

I liked how he said we should actually do the actions to help us learn them more efficiently.

[@kieranmccarty1039]

To be honest I never fully understood the difference between origins and insertions. This video was helpful on the little things that are important to know within the field. Thank you!

[@morgancarlson641]

very helpful. easy to understand when you used the bicep muscle as the example.

[@adamgates6126]

This video was very informative. I was LOST when he read that sentence on the actions of the SCM! Good thing it doesn't have to be that complicated.

[@emilydonahue8216]

Helpful tool in understanding why it's so important to memorize details of the muscles!

[@oliviashaw3148]

Helpful overview, especially the origin and insertions

[@epicrocks24]

Currently taking gross anatomy, this helped a lot. Thank you!

[@Corporis]

Glad it helped!

[@ERnurse22]

In nursing school rn and this video was a god send

[@alexissoncrant130]

I always had a hard time remembering the different origin and insertion points so having this video as reference will be super helpful in the future.

[@angelynnthan3755]

This video is a little bit tricky for me to understand. But it is very important the difference origin and insertion action movement . I have spent three time to replay and get better understand. Instant of memorization and thank you the performing of the action.

[@lisadunn3130]

"Or not, do you" HAHAHAHA! Great explanation!

[@Corporis]

😁

[@ChristieTE]

I am studying message therapist, your video help so much. My exams of muscles ( action , origine , insertion ) is in 2 days. Thank you ❤️

[@Corporis]

I got you! Any topics you want to see covered in the future?

[@laurenomalley9063]

I liked the tip to do the motion to feel what it is doing to help memorize.

[@blindinglight1716]

My favorite anatomical function is petting puppies

[@camswu]

this helps big time, thank you so much for the video!!!!

[@jaretwoodall2431]

This video is helping very much through PT school.. Thank you

[@Corporis]

You are most welcome, best of luck!

[@clairemasterson6031]

Honestly the tip to perform the actions hands down makes all this less overwhelming!

[@kaliblood]

i really liked the intro and the music 🔥🔥

[@JamesAdams-fu2lp]

It was helpful to know that the origins and insertions do not necessarily have to be specific points. As with pec major, the origin of the muscle is almost fan-shaped and extends beyond a single point.

[@TeresPesu]

OMG. YES, I DO WANT TO HANG OUT WITH YOU. My exam is tomorrow, I hope I met you in time to make it. :) Wish you would have been my teacher (or my husband, or both. ^_^ ). Thanks, I´ll watch all your videos from now and soon I´ll be a physiotherapist. ^_^

[@delaneyroche227]

For some reason I easily confuse "origin" and "insertion" when trying to identify muscle location in action. This explained it very clearly.

[@willhopkins4197]

I have always palpated the muscles on my body to remember where they are, but for some reason, I have never thought about doing the motions on my own body to remember their actions.

[@xCorvus7x]

What exactly does it mean for muscular tissue to be one muscle with multiple heads instead of multiple muscles? Is it that the heads of a muscle all insert into a single tendon? What determins how many heads a muscle has? Why do some muscles have more heads than others? Is it down to how much force the muscle in question is generally expected to produce? Or do different muscle heads pull the same tendon in different directions allowing for more fine-tuned/articulate movement?

[@healingwithbrittany]

Kinesiology, the one course that's giving me a run around the loony bin. I have less than a month before my State Exam hits (Massage Therapist-in-Training), and I've been having a hard time working out this rather complex topic. I would love to have a series of videos on the different muscles with details about their origins and insertions alongside their actions. Do you have a library of videos for that? I've been hunting for videos on this and yours is the first one that's actually explained it in a way I can understand.

[@Corporis]

Britta Nicole Miller Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it. I don’t have any others right now but I plan on doing more. I have a video coming out next week about the kinesiology of grip strength, but that probably won’t help you. Are there any specific regions you want to see covered? The best resource I used for learning Is and Os was actually a palpation book (by a massage therapist) called “The Field Guide to the Body”. It was a book on palpation but gave me hands on - literally - experience with each bit of soft tissue. Good luck on the exam!

[@maryambadarni]

I looooove your videos

[@Corporis]

That’s super kind of you to say, thank you! Any topics you’d like covered in depth?

[@maryambadarni]

@@Corporis It would be awesome if you make a video of how to learn muscle names just like what you did with your video "The easiest way to learn anatomical regions"

[@jonathanrobyn2450]

This was great thanks! The sternocleidomastoid is my favorite muscle!

[@lambertrodriguez1057]

can you pls explain more on unilateral and bilateral movements on the scm? thanks

[@penguins0392]

love the posters!

[@SamuelZamora]

Finally understand origin and insertion. What happens when both points can act as origin or insertion? My chest going to my neck for example.

[@Corporis]

A muscle will always only one origin and one insertion. Usually, the origin is the more proximal point and the insertion is the more distal point, but it also depends on movement. Wikipedia will have the answer!

[@makaylakurylowicz8410]

Just started an OT program and your videos are saving me! Thank you!!!!

[@Corporis]

[@tianguyen3897]

"The purpose of this big 'ol squishy sack of meat flesh is to move us through the world and let us pet puppies" is my favorite line from this video! Hahah love it.

[@anaisvisser3703]

Any chance you can give some details on the anatomy posters behind you in your intro here?

[@SuccessMindset2180]

Regeneration of origins and insertions can be accelerated by full body (almost full body if it needs to be) muscle hypertrophy

[@kristle_virgo-empathic4683]

Do the music is distracting, and it needs to go.

[@brattygoblin8264]

Hi Corporis, I have a quick question regarding muscle origins/insertions. I understand that generally speaking, the insertion is pulled to the origin. Do you have any sources or information that goes into when the origin of a muscle can be pulled towards its insertion? Such as the pec minor during accessory breathing?

[@mariacyrilbaldovino1373]

Will definitely keep that in mind

[@Corporis]

macy bee you the MVP. Thanks for all the nice comments

[@mariacyrilbaldovino1373]

Aye hehe your vids really really helped me in my anatomy class tho

[@zahrashirmohamadi6007]

thanks corporis is it possible that insertion and origin of the muscle change during different movement like squat vs leg curl, for quadriceps ???

[@Corporis]

Great question! The I and O won't change, but something called the *moment arm* can. Check out my video titled "Why don't we have elbow caps?" for more on that topic.

[@medicoanu7210]

Thankyou Sir👍🙏

[@iamgnice]

The music takes away a bit due to my disorder but video helped a lot thanks
