• connects skeletal muscle to bone.
tendon
• are broad, sheetlike tendons.
aponeuroses
• is a band of connective tissue that holds down the tendons at each wrist and ankle.
retinaculum
the most stationary, fixed, end of a muscle.
origin
is the end of the muscle attached to the bone undergoing the greatest movement.
insertion
the part of the muscle between the origin and the insertion
belly
a single or group of muscles working together.
agonist
a muscle or group of muscles that oppose muscle actions.
antagonist
• members of a group of muscles working together to produced movement
• Brachii and brachialis
• Deltoid, biceps brachii, and pectoralis major
synerist
• one muscle plays the major role to accomplish the desired movement.
• Ex: Brachialis is the prime mover in flexing the elbow
prime movers
• Are muscles that hold one bone in place
• stabilize origin of prime mover
• Scapular muscles acts as a fixator to hold the scapula in place.
fixators
• Wall of the cheeks
• flattens the cheek (as in whistling or blowing a trumpet)
• “Kissing Muscle or Trumpeter’s muscle
• Compresses cheek to hold food teeth
buccinator
• Lower corners of mouth/depresses the corner of mouth
depressor anguli oris
Elevates one side of the upper lip
levator labii superioris
Moves scalp, raises eyebrows, and to wrinkle your forehead
occipitalfrontalis
• closes the mouth and protrudes the lips,
• the “kissing” muscle
orbicularis oris
• close the eyes, squint, blink, and wink.
orbicularis oris
• the “smiling” muscle
• elevate the upper lip and corner of the mouth.
zygomaticus
• closes the jaw by elevating and pushing the mandible anteriorly
masseter
elevates and draws mandible posteriorly.
temporalis
pushes the mandible anteriorly and depresses mandible, close the jaw
lateral
pushes the mandible anteriorly and elevates mandible; closes the jaw
medial
involved in changing the shape of the tongue
intrinsic
help change the shape and move the tongue
extrinsic
(digastric, geniohyoid, stylohyoid, hyoglossus)
elevates or stabilized hyoid
suprahyoid
depresses or stabilizes hyoid
infrahyoid
originate on the anterior side of the vertebra which flex the head and neck
neck flexors
originate on the posterior side of the vertebra that extend the head and neck
neck extensor
Individually rotate the head; together it flex the neck
sternocleidomastoid
Pull the corners of the mouth inferiorly
platysma
Extends and laterally flexes the neck
trapezius
Extends vertebral column & maintain posture.
Divides in 3 column; Iliocostalis, longissimus, Spinalis.
