Lecture 15: Muscles ( in Head and Neck) Flashcards
What are the ways to classify skeletal muscles
- shape
- location
- attachment
- number of heads
- function
- direction of fibers
- size
Name a few muscles classified by shape
deltoid, trapezius, rhomboid
Name a few muscles classified by location
pectoral, intercostal, brachial
Name a few muscles classified by attachment
sternocleidomastoid bone
Name a few muscles classified by number of heads
triceps and biceps
Name a few muscles classified by the function
flexor and extensor muscles
Name a few muscles classified by the direction of the fibers
rectus abdominis and transverse abdominis
Name a few muscles classified by the size
gluteus maximus ,vactus lateralis
How many muscle tissues do we have
three
- skeletal
- smooth
- cardiac
What are the 4 major features of a skeletal muscles
- function
- innervation
- origin
- insertion
Origin of muscle:
attachment of the muscle that typically remains stationary during contraction
Insertion of muscle:
attachment of muscle that typically moves during contraction
Function of the muscle:
movement due to muscle contraction: the distance between the origin and insertion typically become closer during contraction
- muscles may try to bring the insertion and origin to the same plane
Innervation of the muscle:
skeletal muscles are typically governed by the somatic nervous system of the spinal and cranial nerves
What is the main muscle in the scalp
occipitofrontalis muscle
What characterizes superficial muscles
one end is attached to the skin ( so those at the facial region are responsible for the facial expression)
What are the cavities that the muscles surround in the facial region
- nasal cavity
- orbital cavity
- cranial cavity
Name the components of the occipitofrontalis
frontal and occipital bellies that is connected by the galea aponeurotica ( and attached to the skin)
What is responsible for the wrinkles and eyebrow movement
frontal belly
