chapter 9- skeletal muscles Flashcards
(33 cards)
this type of muscles have origins on parts of the axial skeleton and support the head and spinal column
- used in facial expression, chewing and swallowing
- aid in breathing, support and protection of the abdominal and pelvic organs
axial muscles
a large muscle of facial expression that covers the cranium
occipitofrontalis
this circular muscle of facial expression is around the eye
orbicularis oculi
this circular facial muscle is around the mouth
orbicularis oris
these two structures originate on zygomatic bone and attach to ________
zygomaticus major and zygomaticus minor
- attach to upper corner of the lip
this is the large muscular sheet over neck and attached to bottom of lips
platsyma
what are the 2 muscles that elevate the mandible?
masseter and termporalis
what are the 2 muscles that move the mandible back and forth and side to side
medial pterygoid and lateral pterygoid
this muscle compresses the cheek
buccinator
muscle that allows us to frown
depressor anguli oris
muscle that allows us to blink and close eyes
orbicularis oculi
muscle that allows us to smile
zygomaticus major
muscle that allows us to close our mouth and kiss
orbicularis oris
muscle that allows us to wrinkle forehead and raise the eyebrows
frontal bell of occupitofrontalis
muscle that allows us to tense the skin of the neck
platysma
smiling involves the muscles of both the ____ and the ______
mouth and eyes
these 6 muscles move the eye
superior oblique superior rectus lateral rectus inferior oblique inferior rectus medial rectus
where do the 6 muscles of the eye originate from?
a common tendinous ring in the posterior orbit and attach onto the outer surface of the eye
one of the major groups of muscles that moves the vertebral column by maintaining posture, bilateral contraction extends spinal column and unilateral contraction flexes the column laterally
erector spinae
one of the major groups of muscles that moves the vertebral column by connecting and stabilizing the vertebrae
transversospinalis
what are the 3 long muscles on both sides of the vertebral column that make up the erector spinae
- spinlais = above transverse processes
- longissimus = above and lateral to transverse processes
- iliocostalis = thin sheet arises on ilium and inserts on ribs
these 2 muscle groups are important flexors and extensors of the neck
scalenes and splenius
these muscles are between the transverse and spinous processes of vertebrae and are important in stabilizing vertebrae
transversospinalis muscles
where do the testes develop?
- abdominal cavity and pass thru the inguinal canal
