Hi everyone. Let's take a look at this practice problem together which of the following muscles has a name based on location. Only the answer options are a temporalis. B gluteus, maximus, C biceps, Pho Morse D, both options A and C and E. Both options B and C. So recall that muscles can be named after many characteristics such as their shape, size, function and location. So which of our answer options is named based on location only. Start off with option C biceps for Morris. The by tells us that the muscle has two origins and femoris tells us that the muscle is located along the femur bone. So this name is based off of both origin and location. Option B the gluteus maximus. Well, gluteus means buttox. So that's a location and maximus means greatest. So this muscle is named based off of its size and location. The last muscle is option A temporalis. This muscle is located in the temporal region of the skull. What we commonly know as the temples, the temporalis is named after location only. So that means that the correct answer is option A temporalis. All right, everyone. I hope you found this helpful and I'll see you soon for the next practice problem.
