Occipitofrontalis (muscles in the head)
- Occipital belly
- Frontal belly
- Origin (frontal bone)
- Insertion (Epicranial aponeurosis (galea aponeurotica)
-Action (retract scalp, wrinkles forehead, raise eyebrows
-Innervation (facial N. (CN VII)
Levator Palpebrae
Superioris, Orbicularis Oculi, Buccinator,
Orbicularis Oris (Other muscles in the head)
- Origin (lesser wing of sphenoid)
- Insertion (Tarsal plate of superior eyelid)
-Oculomotor n. (CN III)
-Ptosis
Orbicularis Oculi (muscles in the head)
- Around eye/eyelid
-Origin (medial wall of orbit)
-Insertion (skin surrounding eyelids)
-Action (clint eastwood muscle)
-Facial n. (CN VII)
Buccinator
-Trumpeter muscle
-Origin : alveolar process of mandible & maxilla
- Insertion: orbicularis oris
- Action: compresses cheek (important in sucking)
- CN VII
Temporalis (Muscle in the head)
- Lateral side of the skull
-Origin: temporal lines
-Insertion: coronoid process of mandible
-Action: Elevates & retracts mandible
Masseter (Muscle in the head)
- Origin: Zygomatic arch
-Insertion: coronoid process, lateral surface & angle of the mandible
-Action: elevates & protracts mandible (prime mover of jaw elevation)
Sternocleidomastoid (Muscles of the Neck & Back)
-Anterior/lateral neck
- Origin: manubrium & sternal end of clavicle
- Insertion: Mastoid process
-Action: Neck flexion, rotation
-CN XI (Accessory nerve)
Pharyngeal muscles (Muscles of the Neck & Back)
-Used for swallowing
- Pharyngeal constrictors
- Levator veli palatini
-Tensor veli palatini (both lift soft palate)
Suprahyoid muscles (Muscles of the Neck & Back)
- Form floor of mouth
- Elevate hyoid during swallowing
-Includes the Geniohyoid
-Includes the Mylohyoid - Includes the Digastric (opens mouth too)
Infrahyoid muscles (Muscles of the Neck & Back)
- Includes the sternothyroid
-The sternothyroid
-The thyrohyoid
-Move hyoid/larynx (late stage swallowing)
Erector Spinae (Muscles of the Neck & Back)
-Includes Iliocostalis, Longissimus,
Spinalis
- Origin: Posterior part of iliac crest, posterior sacrum, lumbar spinous processes
-Insertion: Angles of ribs, transverse & spinous processes of cervical & thoracic vertebrae
- Extends neck & vertebral column
What are the actions of the muscles of the Abdominal Wall
-Holds abdominal organs in place
-Compress abdomen
-Flex/stabilize vertebral column
What are the different types of Muscles of the Abdominal Wall
- Rectus Abdominus
- Rectus Sheath
- Linea Alba
- External Abdominal
Oblique - Internal Abdominal
Oblique - Transversus
Abdominus
Rectus Abdominus
- Parallel fibered
-Tendinous intersections
-Origin: Pubic tubercle - Insertion: Xiphiod process of sternum, Ribs 5-7
Rectus Sheath
-Aponeurosis
-Insertions of abdominal obliques/transversus abdominus
- Linea alba
(midline, bloodless plane)
