chapter 9 Flashcards
prime movers
provide most of the force for a specific movement
4 functional groups of skeletal muscles
prime movers
antagonists
synergists
fixators
antagonists
oppose or reverse a particular movement
synergists
add force to a movement or reduce undesirable or unnecessary movement
fixators
synergists that immobilize a bone or muscles origin
function of the frontalis
wrinkles/ elevates forehead and eyebrows
function of orbicularis oculi
closes eyelids
function of orbicularis oris
closes and purses lips
which muscle flares the nostrils?
nasalis
which muscle depresses corner of mouth
depressor anguli oris
muscle that elevates upper lip
levator labii superioris
function of the masseter
elevates mandible
muscles that wrinkles chin
mentalis
muscle that depresses the lip
depressor labii inferioiris
muscle that compresses cheek to keep food between the teeth
buccinator
muscle that elevates lateral corner of mouth
zygomaticus major
muscle that elevates and retractes mandible
temporalis
muscle that draws corner of lip laterally
risorius
function of medial pterygoid
elevates, protracts, and laterally moves mandible
muscle that protracts and laterally moves the mandible
lateral pterygoid
muscle that tense skin of neck and depresses mandible
