6 - Axial Muscles (complete) Flashcards
what are the three parts of the epicranius
- the frontal belly of the occipitalfrontalis
- the galea aponeurotica
- the occipital belly of the occipitalfrontalis
What are the muscles that surround the ear
auricularis anteriorior Auricularis superior Auricularis posterior temporoparietalis occipital belly of occipitofrontalis
Which Muscles of facial expression aren’t innervated by CN VII, and which nerve innervates them
levator palpabrae superioris (Occulomotor nerve CN III)
is the buccinator a muscle of mastication
no, but it does help in chewing by keeping the bolus of food against the teeth during mastication (compresses the cheeks)
what nerve innervates the buccinator
CN vII
What is the origin/insertion of the buccinator
O: Alveolar processes of Maxilla and Mandible and pterygomandibular raphe
I: Blends into fibers of orbicularis oris
What is the pterygomandibular raphe
a linear-cord like connective tissue ligament that runs from the pterygoid hamulus to the mandible, immediately posterior to third molar
What attaches to the pterygomandibular raphe
the buccinator and superior pharyngeal constrictor
What are the muscles of mastication
Masseter
temporalis
medial pterygoid
lateral pterygoid
What are the origins and insertions of the two different heads of the lateral pterygoid
Superior head
O: lateral portion of the greater wing of sphednoid
I: Articular disk and capsule of TMJ
Inferior head
O: Lateral surface of pterygoid plate
I: superiomedial surface of the ramus of the mandible and the condylar process
What are the actions of the lateral pterygoids
bilateral
- protrudes mandible, pulls disk forward, depresses mandible
Unilateral
- Excusion (lateral movements), moves away from active side
What is the only muscle of mastication that doesn’t elevate the mandible
lateral pterygoid
What innervates the lateral pterygoid
the lateral pterygoid nerve, from the mandibular nerve (which is CN V3)
What passes between the heads of the lateral pterygoid
the buccal branch of CNV
What are the two heads of the medial pterygoid called
superficial (external) and deep (internal)
What are the Origins and insertions of the two heads of the medial pterygoid
Superficial
O: Maxillary tuberosity
I: Medial surface of ramus and angle of the mandible
Deep
O: medial surface of lateral pterygoid plate, lateral surface of medial pterygoid plate, and the pterygoid fossa
I: Medial surface of ramus and angle of the mandible
What are the actions of the medial pterygoid
Bilateral
Elevates and protrudes the mandible
Unilateral
lateral excursive movements (away from working side)
What innervates the medial pterygoid
Medial pterygoid nerve a branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V3)
What is the deepest muscle of mastication
the medial pterygoid
What are the portions of the temporalis muscle
anterior (vertical fibers)
middle ( oblique fibers)
posterior portion (horizontal fibers)
What is the origin/insertion of the temporalis
O: inferior temporal line of the temporal fossa and the temporal fascia
I: coronoid process of mandible and the anterior border of the ramus
how does the temporalis pass in relation to the zygomatic arch
it travels under the zygomatic arch
What are the actions of the temporalis
Bilateral Anterior portion - elevate mandible middle portion - retrude mandible posterior portion - retrude mandible Unilateral lateral excursive movements
What nerve innervates the temporalis
Deep temporal nerve, a branch of the mandibular nerve (CN V3)
What is the main postural muscle of the muscles of mastication
temporalis
