epicranius
occipitofrontalis: main muscle of epicranium (scalp), covers forehead
raises eyebrows, wrinkles forehead

Insertion: epicranial aponeurosis
orbicularis oculi
sphincter muscle; closes eye - as in blinking, winking
orbicularis oris
sphincter muscle; compresses lips over teeth/protrudes lips -as in kissing

most powerful of muscles that move jaw
movement: elevates mandible as in chewing, speaking

insertion: ramus of mandible
temporalis

platysma
movement: depresses mandible as in talking, with sternocleidomastoid flexes neck

erector spinae
maintain posture so can stand erect -long and skinny
massive superficial muscle group (iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis groups)
sacrum to skull
transversospinalis group
deep to erector spinae; connect and stabilize vertebrae
short-attach to spinous processes
lateral stability
diaphragm
muscle fibers converge on central tendon (aponeurosis)
compresses abominopelvic cavity and expands thoracic cavity vertically
3 openings
used during quiet breathing
diaphragm openings
caval (inferior vena cava), esophageal, aortic
