final exam, muscles Flashcards
has 2 bellies, extends from the mandible to the hyoid bone, the other continues from the hyoid bone to the mastoid portion of temporal bone
digastric muscle
function of digastric muscle
open the mouth by depressing mandible, or elevate the larynx by raising hyoid bone
forms a muscular connection between the hyoid bone and the styloid process of the skull
stylohyoid muscle (anterior neck muscle)
extends from the clavicle and the sternum to the mastoid region of the skull
sternocleidomastoid (anterior neck muscle)
attaches to the scapula, the clavicle, and first rib, and the hyoid bone
omohyoid (anterior neck muscle)
anterior, middle, and posterior parts originate from transverse processes of cervical spine and insert at the first rib and second rib
scalenes (anterior neck muscle)
function of scalenes
laterally flex the neck and, if neck is stable, elevate their respective rib
the brachial plexus emerges between what?
the anterior and middle scalenes
function of muscles of mastication
move the mandible at the temporomandibular joint
what is the strongest jaw muscle?
the large masseter
what muscle assists in elevation of the mandible?
temporalis
what muscles can elevate, depress, or protract the mandible or slide it from side to side (lateral excursion)
the pterygoid muscles
why are movements of mastication important?
important in making efficient use of your teeth while you chew foods of various consistencies
what nerve innervates the muscles of mastication?
trigeminal 5
passes medial to the zygomatic arch to insert on the coronoid process of the mandible.
temporalis
inserts on the angle and lateral surface of the mandible
masseter
what muscles form the boundaries of the suboccipital triangle?
rectus capitis posterior major, obliquus capitis superior, obliquus capitus inferior
what artery can be prone to excess pressure when rotating the head?
vertebral artery
become tight and very painful in FHP (forward head posture)
splenius capitis and cervicis
what muscles make up the superficial layer of the back and also produce limb movement?
lats, trapezius, levator scapulae, rhomboids
what muscles make up the intermediate layer of the back?
splenius, erector spinae, iliocostalis, longissimus, spinalis
what muscles make up the deep layers of the back and are responsible for spinal movement and stabilization?
transversospinalis
action of posterior serratus superior
elevates ribs
action of posterior serratus inferior
depresses ribs
action of rotatores brevis and longus
bilateral: extension T-spine
unliateral: rotation to opposite side
action of multifidus
bilateral: extends spine
unitlateral: flexes spine to same side, rotates to opposite side
action of semispinalis
extends spine and head
unliateral: flexes to same said, rotates to opposite side
action of rectus abdominis
flexes trunk, compresses abdomen
action of pyramidalis
tenses linea alba
action of external oblique
unliateral: flexes trunk to same side, rotates trunk to opposite side
bilateral: flexes trunk, compresses abdomen
action of tranversus abdominis
unilateral rotates trunk to same side, bilateral compresses abdomen
O: lower border of upper 11 ribs
I: upper border of last 11 ribs
A: inspiration
external intercostals
O: inner lower surface of upper 11 ribs
I: inner upper border of last 11 ribs
A: inspiration (interchondral portion), forced expiration (interosseous portion)
internal intercostals
action of trapezius descending part
draws scapula obliquely upward, rotates glenoid cavity superiorly, tilits head to same side and rotates it to opposite
action of trapezius transverse part
draws scapula medially
action of trapezius ascending part
draws scapula medially downward
what nerve innervates the trapezius?
spinal accessory
action of levator scapulae
draws scapula medially upward while moving inferior angle medially, inclines neck to same side
what nerve innervates levator scapulae?
dorsal scapular
action of rhomboid minor and major
steadies scapula, draws scapula medially upward
what nerve innervates the rhomboids?
dorsal scapular
