Q

is a thin sheet-like muscle that has its origin in the fascia covering the pectoral muscles, and its insertion on the skin and muscle at the corner of the mouth. I think of it as an accessory pouting muscle because it pulls the lower lip back and down causing the mouth to sag. It also tenses the skin covering the neck. All the muscles of facial expression are innervated by cranial nerve VII, aptly called the facial nerve, EXCEPT for the levator palpebrae superioris which is innervated by cranial nerve III, the occulomotor.

Q
  • Deep to the sternocleidomastoid are the ___ which are muscles of the posterior triangle, and have their origins on the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae.
  • have their origins on the transverse processes of the cervical vertebrae and their insertion of the first and second ribs. The anterior ____ muscles are superficial to the middle and posterior ___ when the body is viewed from the anterior. The middle ___ muscles are the longest of the three, and the posterior___ are the smallest. Working together these muscles flex, laterally flex and rotate the head. They also can function in forced or deep breathing. By pulling the ribs toward the head, the volume of the thoracic cavity is increased thus assisting with forced inspiration. Forced breathing occurs when exercising or under pathological conditions involving diseases of the lungs.
