4
Q
Occipitalis
A
- Connected by Frontalis by wide, thin tendinous membrane
- Aids the Frontalis

6
Q
Buccinator
A
- Origin = Mandible, maxilla
- Insertion = Angle of mouth
- Action = Aids in chewing, blowing air out

7
Q
Platysma
A
- Origin = Connective Tissue in Upper Chest
- Insertion = Inferior edge of Mandible
- Action = pulls the angles of mouth down

8
Q
Masseter
A

9
Q
Sternocleidomastoid
A
- Origin = Sternum, clavicle
- Insertion = Mastoid process of Temporal Bone
- Action = Turns face laterally, pulls the head down

10
Q
Zygomaticus Major
A
- Origin = Zygomatic Bone
- Insertion = Angles of the mouth
- Action = Pulls the corners of the mouth upward

11
Q
The pectoral girdle moves what bones…?
A
They move the scapula & clavicle
- So the insertion of these muscles is on one of these 2 bones
12
Q
Why is it necessary to move the Scapula & Clavicle?
A
- As the Upper Limb moves (with its great ROM)
- The Pectoral Girdle must move with it;
- Glenoid fossa of the Scapula must stay aligned with the head of the humerus to keep the shoulder joint intact
13
Q
The Pectoral Girdle
Origins (anchoring point)
A
-are medial/proximal to the muscles
- Muscles:
- Trapezius
- Rhomboid
- Levator Scapulae
- Serratus Anterior
14
Q
Trapezius
A
- Origin = Occipital Bone, Cervical & Thoracic Vertebrae
- Insertion = Clavicle, Scapulae
- Action = Rotates, raises or lowers Scapula

15
Q
Rhomboid
A
- Origin = Upper Thoracic Vertebrae
- Insertion = Medial Edge of Scapula
- Action = Retracts, elevates, & rotates Scapula

16
Q
Levator Scapulae
A
- Origin = Cervical Vertebrae
- Insertion = Medial edge of Scapula
- Action = Elevates Scapula

17
Q
Serratus Anterior
A
- Origin = Outer surface of ribs
- Insertion = Anterior surface of scapula
- Action = Pulls scapula anteriorly & downward
