Lesson 8 Flashcards
muscles can be classified by their _____
function
muscle classification: agonists
prime moves, primarily responsible for producing a particular movement
muscle classification: antagonists
oppose, restrict, or reverse a movement
muscle classification: synergists
aid the action of agonists
muscle classification: ficators
specialize synergists that immobilize the origin of the agonist muscle so all tension is exerted at the insertion
muscles are named on the basis of these 7 things
- direction of the fibers
- relative size
- location
- number of origins
- location of the origin/insertion
- shape of the muscle
- action of the muscle
head and neck: epicranius frontalis
epicranius frontal belly
- origin: epicranial aponeurosis
- insertions: skin of the eyebrows and root of the nose
head and neck: epicranial aponeurosis
area between the frontal belly and occipital belly of the epicranius
head and neck: epicranius occipitalis
epicranius occipital belly
- origins: occipital and temporal bones
- insertion: epicranial aponeurosis
head and neck: orbicularis oculi
close eyes and pull down the eyebrows
head and neck: orbicularis oris
close or protrude lips
head and neck: masseter
closes the jaw
- origins: zygomatic arch and maxilla
- insertions: the angle and ramus of the mandible
head and neck: temporalis
closes the jaw
- located on the temporal bone
head and neck: platysma
opens the jaw and pulls the lower lip down
- origin: over the pectoral muscles
- insertions: lower margin of the mandible, skin, and muscles at the mouth center
head and neck: sternocleidomastoid
neck flexion and head rotation towards the shoulder
- origins: manubrium of the sternum and the medial portion of the clavicle
- insertions: mastoid process of the temporal bone, and superior nuchal line of the occipital bone
head and neck: digastric anterior belly
opens jaw and elevates the hyoid bone
- origins: lower margin of the mandible and mastoid process
- insertion: connective tissue loop of the hyoid bone
portion of the muscle that is medial
head and neck: digastric posterior belly
opens the jaw and elevates the hyoid bone
- origins: lower margin of the mandible and mastoid process
- insertion: connective tissue loop of the hyoid bone
portion of the muscle that is lateral
head and neck: mylohyoid
elevates the hyoid bone and the base of the tongue
deep to the digastric muscle
head and neck: sternohyoid
depresses the larynx and hyoid bone
inferior to the hyoid bone
anterior thorax and shoulder: deltoid
abducts the arm, flexes/extends/rotates the humerus
anterior thorax and shoulder: pectoralis major
adducts and rotates medially the arm and pulls the chest upward for inhalation
- origins: clavicle, sternum, cartilage of ribs 1-6, and the aponeurosis of the external obliques
- insertions: short tendons into the intertubercular sulcus of the humerus
anterior thorax and shoulder: pectoralis minor
moves the scapular in the anterior/inferior movements and raises the ribs during inhalation
anterior thorax and shoulder: serratus anterior
fixes the scapula for arm abduction, essential for raising the arm, and pulls the scapula anteriorly/inferiorly
