Anatomy 1

Create a sphincter; control material passage through an opening (orbicularis oris)

Circular muscles

Run parallel to muscles long axis. Higher endurance. Recuts abdomonis

Parallel muscles

Fascicles merge toward a common attachment site. Can pull in vertical directions but not as hard as parallel. Pectoralis major

Convergent muscles

Fascicles organized as if part of a larger thing.

Pennate muscle

Example of unipennate

Extensor digitorum

Example of bipennate

Recuts femoris

Example of multipennate

Deltoid

Circular muscle fibers surround orbit. Closes eye

Orbicularis oculi

Orbicularis oris

Pulls lower lip inferiorly

Depressor labii inferioris

Pulls corners of mouth inferiorly to frown

Depressor anguli oris

Pulls upper lip superiorly

Lavator labii superioris

Works with zygomaticus major and minor smiling. Pulls corner of mouth superiorly and laterally

Lavator anguli oris

Risorius

Protrudes lower lip

Mentalis

Tenses skin of neck and pulls lower lip inferiorly

Platysma

Compresses cheek against teeth when chewing

Buccinator

Pulls eye medially

Medial rectus

Pulls eye laterally

Lateral rectus

Pulls eye inferiorly and medially

Inferior rectus

Pulls eye superiorly and medially

Superior rectus

Elevates and turns eye laterally

Inferior oblique

Depresses and turns eye laterally

Superior oblique

Elevates ribs during inspiration, expanding cavity.

External intercostals

Deep to external intercostals, fibers at right angles to external intercostals. Depresses ribs forced expiration

Internal intercostals

Depresses ribs during forced expiration

Transersus thoracic

Fibers directed inferomedially

External oblique

Fibers project superomedially

Internal oblique

Fibers project transversely

Traverse abdomonis

Fibers project vertically (enclosed within fibrous sleeve/ rectus sheath)

Rectus abdomonis

Deep to pectoralis major. Helps depress and protract scapula ; hunches shoulders

Pectoralis minor

Fan shaped muscle between ribs and scapula. Protracts stabilizes scapula

Serrates anterior

Extends from clavicle to first rib. Stabilizes and depresses scapula

Subcalvius
