Head and Anterior Neck Muscles Flashcards
Sternocleidomastoid insertion
Sternal head: anterior surface of manubrium of sternum
Clavicular head: superior surface of medial third of calvicle
Sternocleidomastoid origin
Lateral surface of mastoid process of temporal bone and lateral half of superior nuchal line
Sternocleidomastoid innervation
Spinal accessory nerve XI, C2 and C3
Sternocleidomastoid action
Unilaterally tilts head to same side and rotates face turned superiorly toward opposite side
Bilaterally extends neck, extends superior cervical vertebrae and flexes inferior cervical vertebrae (to thrust chin)
Platysma origin
Inferior border of mandible, skin, and subcutaneous tissues of lower face
Platysma insertion
Fascia covering superior parts of pectoralis major and deltoid muscles
Platysma innevation
Cervical branch of facial nerve VII
Platysma action
Draws corners of mouth inferiorly and widens it as in expressions of sadness and fright; draws skin of neck superior when teeth are clenched, indicating tension
Sternohyoid origin
Manubrium of sternum and medial end of clavicle
Sternohyoid insertion
Body of hyoid
Sternohyoid innervation
C1-C3 by a branch of ansa cervicalis
Sternohyoid action
Depresses hyoid after elevation during swallowing
Sternothyroid origin
Posterior surface of manubrium of sternum
Sternothyroid insertion
Oblique line of thyroid cartilage
Sternothyroid innervation
C2 and C3 by a branch of ansa cervicalis
Sternothyroid action
Depresses hyoid and larynx
Omohyoid origin
Superior border of scapula near suprascapular notch
Omohyoid insertion
Inferior border of hyoid
Omohyoid innervation
C1-C3 by a branch of ansa cervicalis
Omohyoid action
Depresses, retracts, and steadies hyoid
Thyrohyoid origin
Oblique line of thyroid cartilage
Thyrohyoid insertion
Inferior border of body and greater horn of hyoid
Thyrohyoid innervation
C1 via hypoglossal nerve
Thyrohyoid action
Depresses hyoid and elevates larynx
Digastric origin
Anterior belly: digastric fossa of mandible
Posterior belly: mastoid notch of temporal bone
Digastric insertion
Intermediate tendon to body and greater horn of hyoid
Digastric innervation
Anterior belly: nerve to mylohyoid, a branch of inferior alveolar nerve
Posterior belly: digastric branch of fascial nerve VII
Digastric action
Working with infrahyoid muscles, depreses mandible against resistance; elevates and steadies hyoid during swallowing and speaking
Stylohyoid origin
Styloid process of temporal bone
Stylohyoid insertion
Body of hyoid
Stylohyoid innervation
Stylohyoid branch of fascial nerve VII
Stylohyoid action
Elevates and retracts hyoid, thus elongating floor of mouth
Mylohyoid origin
Mylohyoid line of mandible
Mylohyoid insertion
Mylohyoid raphe and body of hyoid
Mylohyoid innervation
Nerve to mylohyoid, a branch of inferior alveolar nerve
Mylohyoid action
Elevates hyoid, floor of moutht, and tongue during swallowing and speaking
Geniohyoid origin
Inferior mental spine of mandible
Geniohyoid insertion
Body of hyoid
