- Ring around body opening
ex) orbicularis oculi

What are the types of coordinated muscle actions?
- Prime mover or agonist

Coordinated Muscle Actions
Define a prime mover or agonist
Produces most of force
Coordinated Muscle Actions
Define synergistic
- Aids prime mover
- Stabilizes nearby joint
- Modifies direction of movement
Coordinated Muscle Actions
Define antagonist
- Opposes prime mover
- Prevents excessive movement and injury
Coordinated Muscle Actions
Define fixator
- Prevents movement of bone
Ex Muscle Actions During Elbow Flexion
- Prime mover (agonist)=
- Synergist=
- Antagonist=
- Fixator=
Ex Muscle Actions During Elbow Flexion
- Prime mover (agonist)= brachialis
- Synergist= biceps brachii
- Antagonist= triceps brachii
- Fixator= muscle that hold scapula in place - rhomboideus

Define intrinsic and extrinsic muscles
- Intrinsic- contained within region such as hand
- Extrinsic- move fingers but found outside region

Muscles of Mastication
- arise from SKULL, insert on MANDIBLE
- TEMPORALIS & MASSETER elevate mandible

- ________ - depresses ________, opens ________
Muscles of Deglutition
- DIAGASTRIC - depresses MANDIBLE, opens MOUTH

Muscles of Deglutition
What does the mylohyoid and thyrohyoid do?
- Mylohyoid - elevates floor of mouth in initial stages
