insertion: coronoid process of mandible
temporalis
major function: closes jaw; elevates and retracts mandible
temporalis
above hyoid bone
geniohyoid
medial surface of mandible; floor of mouth

posterior border of diagastric; below angle of jaws
stylohyoid
lower margin of mandible (anterior belly) and mastoid process (posterior belly)
diagastric
deep to platysma (broad sheet of muscle fibers extending from collarbone to angle of jaws) on anterolateral surface of the neck
sternocleidomastoid
inferior border of ribs above

right angle to those of external oblique; inside
internal oblique
deeper muscle; belly button up to the rib cage (on the side)
transverse abdominus
extends from 3-5 of ribcage to coracoid process

extends longitudinally from the occipital bone to the lower thoracic vertebrae and laterally to the spine of the scapula
trapezius
located at the back and side of the neck, deep to trapezius
levator scapulae
beneath trapezius and inferior to levator scapulae
rhomboids
origin: clavicle, sternum, cartilage of ribs 1-6 (or 7), and aponeurosis of external oblique muscle
