what are the muscles of mastication
four pairs, all innervated by cranial nerve 10
- jaw closure: temporalis and masseter
- grinding: pterygoids
- chewing: buccinator
muscles promoting tongue movements
three extrinsic muscles anchor and move the tongue (all innervated by CN VII/hypoglossal)
- genioglossus
- hyoglossus
- styloglossus
what muscle divides the neck into two triangles (ant and post)
SCM
what are the anterior neck muscles
suprahyoid muscles
infrahyoid muscles
process of swallowing
tongue and buccinator muscles push food back toward pharynx, where muscles in post mouth and pharynx complete swallowing
epiglottis closes over larynx while muscles in walls of pharynx propel food foward to stomach
suprahyoid muscle group actions
four muscles involved in swallowing
- form floor of oral cavity
- anchor tongue
- elevate hyoid bone
- move larynx during swallowing
infrahyoid muscle group actions
four straplike muscles that depress the hyroid bone and larynx during swallowing and speaking
- sternohyoid
- sternothyroid
- omohyroid
- thyrohyoid
what muscles move the head
anterolateral neck muscles
what muscles extend the trunk/maintain posture
intrinsic muscles of the back
muscles of inspiration
diaphragm and external intercostals
- contraction = enlarges rib cage
- diaphragm divides thoracic and abdominal cavities
muscles of expiration
expiration brought on by relaxation of inspiratory muscles (dec rib cage size), as well as contraction of internal intercostals
action of anterior abdominal muscles
- lateral flexion and rotation of trunk
- compression of abdominal viscera
- promote urination, defacation, childbirth, vomiting, coughing, screaming
anterior abdominal wall muscles
four paired muscles; their fasciae and aponeuroses form lateral and anterior abdominal wall
- rectus abdominis
- external obliques
- internal obliques
- transversus abdominis
all innervated by intercostal nerves
muscles of pelvic diaphragm
two paired muscles, both innervated by sacral nerves
- levator ani
- coccygeus
muscles of the urogenital diaphragm
- anterior half of perineum, inf to pelvic floor
- deep transverse perineal muscle
- contains external urethral sphincter (voluntary)
muscles of superficial perineal space
- ischiocavernosus + bulbospongiosus help maintain erection of penis/clitoris
- superficial transverse perineal muscles

dorsal and ventral horns location
exit vertebral column and unite to form SPINAL NERVE
spinal nerve splits into…
RAMI
remi innervation
- dorsal ramus innervates deep back muscles and overlying skin

most nerves we encounter are…
ventral rami
at what joint does the upper extremity articulate with the axial skeleton?
sternoclavicular

C5 - shoulder
C6 - elbow
C7 - wrist
C8 - hand
T1 - hand
brachial plexus trunks
C5 + C6 > 1st trunk
C7 > 2nd
C8 + T1 > 3rd
from which nerve roots on the brachial plexus does the long thoracic nerve run from?
C5-C7
from which nerve roots on the brachial plexus does the dorsal scapular nerve run from?
C5
what are the end branches of the brachial plexus? where do they stem from?
- musculocutaneous (C5-C7)
- axillary
- radial (C5-C8, T1)
- median (C5-C8, T1)
- ulnar (C8, T1)
where does the axillary nerve stem from?
off the radial nerve
what are the three trunks of the brachial plexus?
superior
middle
inferior
what is the order of splitting of the brachial plexus?
“Rugby Teams Don’t Cover Bruises”
- 5 roots (C5-T1)
- 3 trunks (sup, mid, inf)
- 2 divisions (each trunk > ant + post)
- 3 cords (lateral, medial, post)
- 5 branches (musculocut, axil, median, radial, ulnar)
branches of the lateral cord of the brachial plexus
Rugby players are:
Long Legged Movers
- lat pectoral n
- lat root of medial n
- musculocutaneous n
branches of the medial cord of the brachial plexus
Rugby Players:
Make Many Moves Using Muscles
- medial brachial cutaneous n
- medial antebrachial cutaneous n
- medial pectoral n
- ulnar n
- medial root of median n
branches of the posterior cord of the brachial plexus
Rugby players are:
ULTRA competitive
- upper subscapular n
- lower subscapular n
- thoracodorsal n

- axillary n
what four joints make up the shoulder
- glenohumoral
- sternoclavicular
- acromioclavicular
- scapulothoracic
what is the glenohumoral joint?
ball and socket joint between the head of humerus and the glenoid fossa of the scapula
capsule is thin and loose; lies in folds when arm is adducted, and is taunt when arm is abducted
what part of the glenohumeral capsule is weakest? why?
inf part is weakest bc its not reinforced by rotato cuff mm
what runs through an aperature in the glenohumeral capsule?
long head of biceps
what are the capsular ligaments of the glenohumeral joint? what are their functions?
- glenohumeral: thickening of ant capsule
- coracohumeral: strengthens sup part of capsule
- transverse humeral: holds down tendon
- coracoacromial: limits superior movement

where does most of the strenght of the acromioclavicular joint come from?
coracoclavicular ligament

- conoid ligament (attached to root of coracoid process and conoid tubercle on inf clavicle)
arterial supply of acromioclavicular joint
suprascapular and thoracoacromial arteries
nerve supply of acromioclavicular joint

main superficial vessels of upper limb
cephalic and basilic
- originate in subcutaneous tissue on dorsum of hand from dorsal venous network
- both lead to axillary v

C > MC > A
basilic vein path
basilic vein ascends on medial side, pierces brachial fascia, runs superiorly and parallel to brachial atery and drains into axillary v
cephalic vein path
- ascents to ant elbow to communivate with median cubital vein
- cephalic passes b/w deltoid and pec major muscles in deltopectoral groove and enters delto/clavipectoral triange and pierces the costocoracoid membrane to join the axillary v
