A

ventral; lateral

106
Q

Name the two cranial parts of the sternocephalicus muscle.

A

(from the sternum to the nuchal crest of the occipital bone)

107
Q

Sternocephalicus

A

Origin: First sternebra or manubrium

Insertion: The mastoid part of the temporal bone and the nuchal crest of the occipital bone

Action: To draw the head and neck to the side

108
Q

Origin: The first costal cartilage

Insertion: The caudolateral surface of the thyroid cartilage

Action: Same as the sternohyoideus - to draw the larynx and tounge caudally
