Lecture 7 - Muscular System Flashcards
What are fascicles and how do they affect muscles
- > they’re skeletal muscle fibres arranged in a muscle in bundles.
- > they give the muscle its shape and therefore its function
Origin vs insertion
Origin: end of the muscle that is attached to an immovable bone
Insertion: end of the muscle which attaches to the movable bone
What are the different muscle groups/ muscle actions, explain.
Prime mover/agonist - > contracts to cause the desired action
Antagonist - > stretches/extend to reverse action of prime mover
Synergists - > assist prime movers
Fixators - > stabilize the origin of the prime mover
Motion executed by occipitofontalis
raise eyebrows and wrinkle forehead
motion executed by corrugator supercilii
draws eyebrows down and medially
motion executed by orbicularis oculi
serves to close the eye
motion executed by levator palpebrae superioris
responsible for elevating upper eyelid; bugeyes
motion executed by nasalis
flares the nostrils
motion executed by levator labii superioris
elevates upper lip
motion executed by orbiculairs oris
pucker lips/ duck lip
motion executed by zygomaticus major and minor
draws angle of mouth up and out, allows smiles
motion executed by platysma
draws lower lip down and out, flex neck
list all muscle involved in mastication
- > masseter
- > temporalis
- > pterygoids (medial and lateral)
motion executed by the masseter
elevates and retracts mandible
motion executed by the temporalis
elevates and retracts mandible
motion executed by the pterygoids
lateral and medial pterygoids allow mandible to lower and move side to side (cow thing)
