Question 21

sternocleidomastoideus

Answer 21

The sternocleidomastoid muscle has several important functions:

• Head Rotation: When one sternocleidomastoid muscle contracts, it rotates the head to the opposite side. For example, if the right sternocleidomastoid contracts, it turns the head to the left.
• Head Flexion: When both sternocleidomastoid muscles contract together, they flex the neck, bringing the chin towards the chest.
• Head Lateral Flexion: Contraction of one sternocleidomastoid muscle can also flex the neck laterally (to the same side).
• Respiration: Although not its primary function, the sternocleidomastoid can assist in respiration by elevating the sternum and clavicle during forceful inhalation.

In summary: The sternocleidomastoid muscle plays a crucial role in head and neck movement, as well as assisting in breathing.

Question 22

mylohyoid, geniohyoid, stylohyoid

Answer 22

depression of the mandible, elevation of the hyoid

Question 23

thyrohyoid, sternohyoid, sternothyroid, omohyoid

Answer 23

depression of the hyoid & larynx (speaking and swallowing)

Question 24

anterior scalene, middle scalene and posterior scalene

Answer 24

neck flexion and rotation

Question 25

longus colli

Answer 25

Primarily responsible for flexion of the cervical spine. Also contributes to lateral flexion and rotation of the neck.

Question 26

longus capitis

Answer 26

Primarily responsible for flexion of the neck, bringing the head forward. Also contributes to bilateral flexion (bending the head forward)

Question 27

trapezius

Answer 27

extension of head, lateral bending of head, rotates head toward shoulder

Question 28

splenius capitis

Answer 28

extension off head, lateral bending of head, rotates head toward shoulder

Question 29

semispinalis capitis, semispinalis cervicis

Answer 29

extension, lateral flexion, rotation

Question 30

thalamus

Answer 30

Often called the "relay center" of the brain. It receives sensory information (except for smell) from various parts of the body and transmits it to the appropriate areas of the cerebral cortex for processing. It also plays a role in regulating consciousness, sleep, and alertness

Question 31

cerebellum

Answer 31

Primarily responsible for coordinating voluntary movements, maintaining balance, and posture. It fine-tunes movements, ensuring they are smooth and accurate

Question 32

medulla oblongata

Answer 32

Controls several vital autonomic functions, including: Respiration: Regulates breathing rate and depth.   Heart Rate: Controls the speed and force of the heartbeat. Blood Pressure: Regulates blood vessel constriction and dilation.   Swallowing, coughing, and vomiting: Controls these reflexes
