(301 cards)
the neck is divided into triangles: the two most prominent are formed as the sternocleidomastoid crosses the neck to form the _ and _ triangles
anterior and posterior
which muscle assists in opening the pharyngeal orifice of the auditory tube during swallowing
a. sylopharyngues
b. palatopharyngues
c. salpingopharyngeus
salpingopharyngeus
the musculature of the pharynx is composed of entirely voluntary or involuntary muscles
voluntary
where is the ONLY PLACE in alimentary tract that a layer of longitudinal muscles is contained within a layer of circular muscles
pharynx
the _ layer of the pharynx includes the superior, middle, and inferior pharyngeal constrictors.
external circular
the _ layer of the pharynx includes the palatopharyngeus, stylopharyngeus, and the salpingopharyngeus
internal longitudinal
all of the longitudinal muscles of the pharynx are innervated by the _ nerve except the stylopharyngues which is innervated by the _ nerve
vagus
glossopharyngeal (IX)
the __ is a muscle in the head that stretches between the temporal styloid process and the pharynx.
stylopharyngeus
the origin of the stylopharyngeus is the _ and the insertion is the _
O: styloid process of temporal bone
I: lateral and posterior pharyngeal walls
The palatopharyngeus muscle is a small muscle located
in the roof of the mouth.
Origin and Insertion of palatopharyngeus muscle
O: posterior border of hard palate and from the palatine aponeurosis
I: laryngopharynx and thyroid cartilage
action of stylopharyngeus
muscle elevates the larynx and pharynx during swallowing
action of palatopharyngeus muscle
pulls pharynx wall up. acting together they pull the palatopharyngeal arches towards the midline
Salpingopharyngeus muscle Origin and Insertion
O: cartilage auditory (Eustachian) tube
I: palatopharyngues muscle
Action Salpingopharyngeus muscle
elevate pharynx and open pharyngeal orifice of auditory tube during swallowing
which contains thick myosin only:
H zone/I band/A band/all of them
H zone has only thick filaments
the striated appearance of muscle has dark and light bands. which band represents each
I band is light band = only actin
A band is dark = both myosin and actin
in the center of the I band is the
z line = dark line
Only the _ change lengths in muscle contraction
H zone and I band
the most superficially located and strongest muscle of mastication is the
masseter
Origin and insertion of masseter
originates from the lower border and medial surface of the zygomatic arch. run down and back to attach to the lateral aspect of the ramus of the mandible.
the strongest muscle of mastication
masseter
in people with sever clenching, the masseter will be
enlarged
the masseter forms a sling (masseteric sling) with what muscle
medial pterygoid
