Lecture Exam 2 (Axial) Flashcards
functions of axial musculature
moves head, vertebral column, and moves rib cage for breathing
facial muscles innervation
seventh cranial nerve (facial nerve)
4 rectus muscles that move eyes
superior rectus, inferior rectus, medial rectus, and lateral rectus. inferior oblique and superior oblique.
extra-ocular muscles innervation
third (oculomotor) fourth (trochlear) sixth (abducens) cranial nerves
glossus means
tongue
articulation between the condyle of the mandible and squamous portion of the temporal bone
temporomandibular joint
two motions when opening jaw
rotation and translation (sliding)
pain/dysfunction of muscles of mastication and the temporo-mandibular
TMJ syndrome
repetitive unconscious clenching or grinding os teeth
bruxism
important for initiation of swallowing
pharyngeal muscles
pharyngeal muscles innervation
ninth (glossopharyngeal) and tenth (vagus) cranial nerves
control position of larynx, depress the mandible, tense the floor of the mouth, and provide a stable foundation for muscles of the tongue and pharynx
anterior muscles of neck
layers of the back
superficial, intermediate, and deep
trapezius and latissimus dorsi muscles
superficial muscles of back
erector spinae
intermediate layer
three names of erector spinae
iliocostalis, longissimus and spinalis
short muscles that work in various combinations to produce slight extension or rotation of vertebral column. important in making delicate adjustments in position of individual vertebrae and stabilizing adjacent vertebrae
deep layer
compress underlying structures or rotate the vertebral column, depending on whether one or both sides are contracting
oblique muscles (diagonals)
important flexors of the vertebral column, acting in opposition to erector spinae
rectus muscles (straight)
superficial and aid in inhalation by pulling the ribs up and anteriorly to increase the volume of the chest cavity
external intercostal muscles
deep and aid in forced expiration by forcing the ribs toward one another and decreasing the intercostal space thus decreasing the volume of the chest cavity
internal intercostal muscles
begins at xiphoid process and ends near the pubic symphysis. muscle is divided longitudinally by median collagenous partition (linea alba)
rectus abdominis muscle
bands of fibrous tissue that divide this muscle into four repeated segments
transverse tendinous inscriptions
aids in forced expiration and offers horizontal band like support to the abdominal and posterolateral region below rib cage
transversus abdominis muscles
any muscular sheet that forms a wall.
diaphragm
top of stomach protrudes through the diaphragm. mimics a heart attack at times
hiatal hernia
extend from sacrum and coccyx to the ischium and pubis
muscles of pelvic floor
3 functions of pelvic floor muscles
support organs of pelvic cavity, flex joints of sacrum and coccyx and control movement of materials through the urethra and anus
