Your deltoid muscles are 

in your shoulder, which is the ball-and-socket joint that connects


your arm to the trunk of your body. Deltoid muscles help you move your arms in different
directions. They also protect and stabilize your shoulder joint.
The pectoralis major is the superior most and largest muscle of the anterior chest wall. It is
a thick, fan-shaped muscle that lies underneath the breast tissue and forms the anterior wall of
the axilla.
Additionally, rotator cuff muscles help in the mobility of the shoulder joint by facilitating
abduction, medial rotation, and lateral rotation.
The biceps brachii (BB), commonly know as the biceps, is a large, thick muscle on the ventral
portion of the upper arm. The muscle is composed of a short head and a long head. The long
head is located on the lateral side of the biceps brachii while the short head is located on the
medial side.
Rectus abdominis – slung between the ribs and the pubic bone at the front of the pelvis.
When contracting, this muscle has the characteristic bumps or bulges that are commonly called
'the six pack'. The main function of the rectus abdominis is to move the body between the
ribcage and the pelvis.
The brachialis is one of the largest elbow flexors and provides pure flexion of the forearm at the
elbow. It does not provide any supination or pronation of the forearm.
They are the largest of the flat muscles and at the bottom of the stack. They run from the sides
of your body toward the middle. The external obliques allow the trunk to twist side to side.
The pronator teres is a fusiform forearm muscle found in the superficial layer of the
anterior compartment of the forearm. Its primary function is to pronate the forearm and assist
in forearm flexion.
The brachioradialis primarily flexes the forearm at the elbow but also functions to supinate or
pronate depending on the rotation of the forearm.
 iliopsoas muscle, It is essential for correct standing or sitting lumbar posture, and during
walking and running.
 quadriceps femoris, they contain more mass than any other muscle group in your body. You
use your quads to perform a variety of movements, including kicking, running, jumping and
walking.
adductors are responsible for moving the leg back towards your body's midline.
peroneus longus muscle, It acts to tilt the sole of the foot away from the midline of the body
(eversion) and to extend the foot downward away from the body (plantar flexion) at the ankle.
tibialis anterior, It acts to dorsiflex and invert the foot. 
The function of the peroneus brevis muscle is to evert the foot and plantarflex the ankle
