Muscles - Lecture Flashcards
Two classes of facial muscles
Facial expression - suck, smile, frown, pucker…
Mastication - (chew) elevate, depress, protrude, retract, grind
Broad, flat tendon (generic name)
Aponeurosis
Tendon that connects frontalis and occipitalis
Epicranial aponeurosis
Four ways to classify skeletal muscles
Location
Action
Innervation
Direction of fibers/number of heads
Origin
The immovable attachment point of a muscle, usually the more proximal attachment
Insertion
The movable attachment point of a muscle, usually the more distal attachment
Antagonists
Muscles that produce opposite movements (e.g. biceps and triceps do flexion and extension)
Synergists
Muscles that produce similar movements (e.g. biceps and brachialis both do flexion)
Facial muscles origin and insertion
Origin is usually bone while the insertion is usually skin
Pterygoids origin and insertion
Both attach to mandible at condyloid process and down on medial surface of ramus and angle of mandible
Attach to pterygoid processes of sphenoid bone
Tongue muscle (“-glossus”) attachments
hyoid bone
styloid process of temporal bone
mandible
Muscles of the neck
Sternocleidomastoid Scalenes Splenius Capitus ("bandage skull")
Inspiratory muscles
diaphragm, external intercostals, scalenes, sternocleidomastoid, serratus posterior superior
Expiratory muscles
forced expiration - internal intercostals, abdominal wall muscles, serratus posterior inferior
(normal expiration is passive)
7 muscles of the shoulder (pectoral) girdle
posterior: trapezius, rhomboid major, rhomboid minor, levator scapulae
anterior: subclavius, pectoralis minor, serratus anterior
Shoulder girdle muscles go from where to where?
axial skeleton to scapula
Rotator cuff muscles go from where to where?
scapula to humerus
4 rotator cuff muscles
subscapularis muscle, supraspinatus muscle, infraspinatus muscle, teres minor muscle
