Chapter 10 - The Muscular System: Axial Musculature Flashcards
Posterior belly
- anterior muscle of the neck - digastric - origin: from mastoid region of temporal bone - insertion: hyoid bone - action: depresses mandible, opens mouth, elevates the larynx
Anterior belly
- anterior muscle of the neck - digastric - origin: inferior surface of mandible at the chin - insertion: hyoid bone - action: depresses mandible, opens mouth, elevates the larynx
Geniohyoid
- anterior muscle of the neck - origin: medial surface of mandible at chin - insertion: hyoid bone - action: depresses the mandible, opens the mouth, elevates the larynx, retracts hyoid bone
Mylohyoid
- anterior muscle of her neck - origin: mylohyoid line of the mandible - insertion: median connective tissue band than runs to hyoid bone - action: elevates floor of the mouth, elevates hyoid bone, depresses the mandible
Occipofrontalis - Frontal belly
Region: scalp
Origin: epicranial aponeurosis
Insertion: skin of eyebrow and bridge of nose
Action: raises eyebrows, wrinkles forehead
Innervation: Facial Nerve N VII
Occipitofrontalis - occipital belly
Origin: superior nuchal line and adjacent region of mastoid portion of the temporal bone
Insertion: epicranial aponeurosis
Action: tenses and retracts scalp
Innervation: Facial Nerve N VII
Temporoparietalis
Region: scalp Origin: fascia around external ear Insertion: epicranial aponeurosis Action: tenses scalp, moves auricle of ear Innervation: Facial Nerve N VII
Temporalis
Zz
Orbicularis oris
Region: mouth Origin: maxilla and mandible Insertion: lips Action: compresses, purses lips Innervation: Facial Nerve N VII
Orbicularis oculi
Region: eye Origin: medial margin of orbit Insertion: skin around the eyelids Action: closes eye Innervation: facial nerve N VII
Masseter
Origin: zygomatic arch
Insertion: lateral surface and angle of mandibular ramus
Action: elevates mandible and closes jaws; assists in protracting and retracting the mandible and moving mandible side to side
Innervation: terminal nerve N V, mandibular branch
Buccinator
Region: mouth
Origin: alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible opposite the molar teeth
Insertion: blends into the fibres of orbicularis oris
Action: compresses cheeks
Innervation: facial nerve N VII
Temporalis
Origin: along temporal lines of skull
Insertion: Coronoid processes of mandible and the anterior border of the mandibular ramus
Action: elevates the mandible and closes jaw; assists in retracting and moving mandible from side to side
Innervation: terminal nerve N V, mandibular branch
Medial pterygoid
Origin: lateral pterygoid plate and adjacent portions of palatine bone and maxilla
Insertion: medial surface of mandibular ramus
Action: elevates the mandible and closes the jaw, or moves mandible side to side
Innervation: terminal nerve N V, mandibular branch
Lateral pterygoid
Origin: lateral pterygoid plate and greater wing of the sphenoid
Insertion: anterior part of the neck of the mandibular condyle
Action: opens the jaw, protrudes he mandible, or moves mandible side to side
Innervation: terminal nerve, N V, mandibular branch
Stylohyoid
Region: anterior muscles of the neck Origin: styloid process of temporal bone Insertion: hyoid bone Action: elevates the larynx Innervation: facial nerve N VII
Sternocleidomastoid
Region: anterior muscles of the neck
Origin: clavicular head attaches to the sternal end of the clavicle; sternal head attaches to the manubrium of the sternum
Insertion: mastoid region of skull and lateral portion of the superior nuchal line
Longus capitis
Region: vertebral column
Group: spinal flexors
Origin: transverse processes of cervical vertebrae
Insertion: base of the occipital bone
Action: together the two sides flex the neck - alone each rotates head to that side
Innervation: cervical spinal nerves
