Muscles (head, pectoral girdle, and arm+shoulder) also Lab Quiz Questions Flashcards
What muscles move the Head and Anterior Neck
Masseter, Sternocleidomastoid, and Splenius
Masseter
A: elevates mandible to close jaw
O: zygomatic arch
I: lateral surface of mandibular jaw
Sternocleidomastoid
A: flexion (bilateral) and lateral flexion of neck and rotates head
O: manubrium sternal end of clavicle
I: mastoid process of temporal bone
Splenius
A: extension of head and neck, lateral flexion and rotation of head and neck
O: spinous process of inferior cervicle and superior thoracic vertebrae
I: mastoid process, occipital bone, and transverse processes of superior cervicle vertebrae
What two muscles that move the head and neck have the mastoid process as an insertion point?
Sternocleidomastoid and Splenius
What muscles move the pectoral girdle?
Trapezius, Rhomboids (major+minor), Pectoralis minor, and Serratus anterior
Trapezius (P)
A: elevate, retract, and rotate, and depresses scapula and extends neck
O: posterior surface of occipital bone, spinous processes of thoracic vertebrae
I: lateral third of clavicle, acromion and spine of scapula
Rhomboid Major
A: adducts scapula and performs downward rotations
O: ligamentum nuchae; and spinous processes of vertebrae C7 and T1
I: medial border of scapula
Rhomboid Minor
A: adducts scapula and performs downward rotations
O: spinous processes of vertebra T2-T5
I: medial border of scapula
What is the main action of the rhomboids?
adducting scapula and performing downward rotations
What insertions do the rhomboids both share what insertion?
The medial border of the scapula
Pectoralis minor (A)
A: depresses and protracts shoulder; rotates scapula down and forward, plus elevates ribs
O: external surfaces of ribs 3-5
I: coracoid process of scapula
Serratus Anterior (A)
A: protracts shoulder; rotates superiorly (upward)
O: external surfaces of ribs 1-8
I: medial border of scapula
what muscles of the pectoral girdle have the share the medial border as an insertion sight?
rhomboids and serratus anterior
what muscles of the pectoral girdle both protract the shoulder?
Pectoralis minor and Serratus Anterior
