Lab 5 Flashcards
Parts of muscle
Tendon, muscle belly, blood vessels, nerves
Part of the muscle that is visible through gross observation
fasicles
Outermost layer of connective tissue of muscle
epimysium
Groupings surrounded by epimysium
fascicles
Subunits of fascicles
skeletal muscle fiber
types of fascicle arangement
parallel, convergent, pennate, circular
Parallel fascicle
simplest arrangement, contraction shortens the muscle, bringing attachments closer together
Convergent fascicle
narrow attachment on one side and broad attachment on the other side, parts of muscle may be activated independently
Pennate fascicles
attachment at an angle to the tandon, have mant more cells but much shorter muscle cells/fascicles
Compared to pennate muscles, parallel muscles have a _____ numbers of cells, but with a _____ range of motion.
smaller; longer
Muscle origin
the more stable attachment that is often more proximally or more medially located on the body
Muscle insertion
the more mobile and often more distally located attachment
Facial muscle innervation
cranial nerves
Muscles of facial expression
Frontalis, Orbicularis oris, Zygomaticus major, Buccinator, Depressor anguli oris, Occipitalis, Platysma, Orbicularis oculi
Muscles of facial expression innervation
CN VII, facial nerve
Frontalis action
raises eyebrows
Orbicularis oris action
purses lips
Zygomaticus major action
raises corners of lips (smiling)
Buccinator action
compresses cheeks
Depressor anguli oris action
lowers corners of lips
Occipitalis action
tenses scalp
Platysma action
tenses neck and depresses the mandible
Orbicularis oculi
closes eyelids
muscles of mastication
Masseter, Temporalis, Medial pterygoid, Lateral pterygoid
muscles of mastication innervation
CN V, trigeminal nerve
masseter action
elevated mandible (closing)
temporalis action
elevates mandible (closing)
medial pterygoid action
elevates jaw, moves jaw medially
lateral pterygoid action
protudes the lower jaw (opening)
Extraocular muscles
Medial rectus, Lateral rectus, Superior rectus, Inferior rectus, Superior oblique, Inferior oblique
Extraocular muscles function
positioning the eyeball
extraocular muscle innervation
CN III (oculomotor), CN IV (trochlear), CN VI (abducens)
medial rectus action
turns eye medially
lateral rectus action
turns eye laterally
superior rectus action
turns eye superiorly
inferior rectus action
turns eye inferiorly
superior oblique
turns eye inferiorly and laterally, attaches obliquely on eyeball and at the back of the orbit, passes through trochlea
inferior oblique
turns eye superiorly and laterally, attaches obliquely to eyeball
Superficial (cranial) neck muscles
trapezius, sternocleidmastoid
Superficial (cranial) neck muscles innervation
CN XI, spinal accessory
trapezius action
Retract, elevate, and depress the scapula; extends neck if used bilaterally
Sternocleidomastoid action
Turns head, or flexes neck if used bilaterally
