Chapter 6 after page 205 Flashcards
Facial muscles are unique because they are inserted into
soft tissues such as other muscles or skin
Types of facial muscles
Frontalis Orbicularis Oculi Orbicularis Oris Buccinator Zygomaticus
Frontalis
Raises eyebrows
wrinkly forehead
covers the posterior aspect of the skull
Orbicularis Oculi
Fibers that run circles around the eyes
Allows you to close your eyes, squint and blink
Orbicularis Oris
Circular muscle of the mouth
“Kissing” muscle
Buccinator
Also listed as the chewing muscle
Holds the food between the teeth during chewing
Zygomaticus
“Smiling” muscle
Raises the corners of the mouth upward
Types of chewing muscles
Masseter
Tempolaris
Masseter
Covers the angle of the lower jaw
Closes the jaw by elevating the mandible
Tempolaris
fan shaped muscle
Synergist of the masseter in closing the jaw
Types of neck muscles
Platysma
Sternocleidomastoid
Plastysma
single sheetlike muscle
pulls the mouth inferiorly
Sternocleidomastoid
Paired muscles
Sternum and clavicle
When both of them contract together, they flex your neck
“Prayer” muscles
Trunk muscles include
- Those that move the vertebral column
- Anterior thorax muscles, which move the ribs, head and arms
- Muscles of the abdominal wall, which help to move the vertebral column and most important, form the muscular “natural girdle” of the abdominal body wall.
Types of Anterior Muscles
Pectoralis Major
Intercostal Muscles
Pectoralis Major
Large fan shaped muscle covering the upper part of the chest.
Forms the anterior wall of the axilla
Acts to adduct and flex the arm
Intercostal Muscles
Deep muscles found between the ribs
External intercostals, raise the rib cage while inhaling
Internal intercostals, depress the rib cage while exhaling
Muscles of the Abdominal Girdle
Rectus Abdominis
External Oblique
Internal Oblique
Transverse Abdominis
Muscles of the Abdominal Girdle form what?
A natural girdle that reinforces the body trunk
Rectus abdominis
Paired straplike muscles
Most superficial muscles of the abdomen
Main function is to flex the vertebral column
Compress the adbominal contents during defecation and childbirth and are involved in forced breathing
External oblique
Mlakeup the lateral walls of the abdomen
Form the last 8 ribs
Flex the vertebral column
Rotate the trunk and bend it laterally
Internal oblique
Run at right angles
Arise from the illiac crest and insert into the last 3 ribs
Same functions as the external obliques
Transverse Abdominis
Deepest muscle of the abdominal wall
Compresses the abdominal contents
Types of posterior Muscles
Trapezious Latissimus Dorsi Erector Spinae Quadratus Lumborum Deltoid
Trapezius
Most superficial muscles of the posterior neck and upper trunk
Diamond or kite shaped
Latissimus Dorsi
Large flat muscles that cover the lower back
Extends and adducts the humerus
Important muscles when the arm must be brought down in a power stroke
Erector Spinar
Primary mover of the back extension
Powerful back extensor
Erector Spinar consists of
Longissimus
Iliocostalis
Spinalis
Quadratus Lumborum
Form part of the posterior abdominal wall
Acting separately each muscle of Quadratus Lumborum
flexes the spine laterally
Acting together each muscle of Quadratus Lumborum
extend the lumbar spine
Deltoid
Triangle shaped muscles
Forms the rounded shape of your shoulders
A favorite injection site?
Deltoid because they are so bulky
Muscles that move the arm?
Pectoralis major
Latissimus dorsi
Deltoid
What causes elbow flexion
All anterior arm muscles
Muscles of the Humerus
Biceps Branchii
Branchialis
Brancgioradialis
Triceps Branchii
Most familiar muscle of the arm and why?
Biceps Branchii because it bulges when the elbow is flexed
Powerful prime mover of flexion of the forearm and acts to supinate the forearm
Biceps Branchii
Lies deep to the biceps muscle and is as important as the biceps in elbow flexion
Branchiallis
Brachialis lists the
ulna as the biceps lifts the radius
Fairly weak muscle that arises on the humerus and inserts into the distal forearm
Brachioradialis
Where does Brachioradialis reside?
Mainly in the forearm
The muscles fleshinh out of the posterior humerus
Triceps Brachii
Powerful prime mover of elbow extension
Triceps Branchii
Antagonist of the biceps brachii
Triceps Brachii
Triceps Brachii is called the
“Boxer’s” muscle because it can deliver a straight arm knockout punch
Muscles that act on the lower limb cause movement at the
hip, knee and foot joints
Largest, strongest muscles in the body and are specialized for walking and balancing the body
Lower limb
Girdle that allows little movement
Pelvis girdle
Muscles originated on the leg cause assorted movements of the
ankle and foor
Muscles causing movement at the hip joint
GLuteus Maximus
Gluteus Medius
Iliopsoas
Adductor Muscles
Superficial muscle of the hip that forms most of the flesh of the buttock
Gluteus Maximus
Most important muscle for extending the hip when power is needed
Gluteus Maximus
Hip abductor and is important in steadying the pelvis during walking
Gluteus Medius
Gluteus Medius is an important site for giving
intramuscular injections
