Closes jaw; elevates an retracts mandible Temporalis
Acts with the lateral pterygoid muscle to protract (pull anteriorly) the mandible and promote side to side grinding Medial pterygoid
Provides sliding and side to side grinding movements of the lower teeth Lateral pterygoid
compresses the cheeks buccinator
Protracts tongue Genioglossus (geni = chin) (glossus =tongue)
Depresses tongue Hyoglossus (hyo=pertaining to hyoid bone)
Retracts and elevates tongue Styloglossus (stylo= pertaining to styloid)

elevates and retracts hyoid Stylohyoid
Constricts pharynx during swallowing Superior, middle, and inferior paryngeal constrictor muscles
Flexes and laterally rotates the head . O- manubrium of sternum and medial portion of clavicle. I- mastoid process of temporal bone and superior nucal line of occipital bone. Sternocleidomastoid (sterno= breastbone; cleido= clavicle; mastoid =mastoid process)
Extend or hyperextend head Splenius (splenion= bandage, caput = head; cervi= neck)
Extend and laterally flex the vertebral column Iliocostalis (ilio= illium; cost= rib; thorac= thorax)
Thoracis and cervics act together to extend and laterally flex vertebral column; capitis extends head and turns the face towards same side Longissimus (longissimus = longest)
Extends verebral column Spinalis (spin= vertebral column, spine)
Pull ribs toward one another to elevate rib cage External intercostals (external= outside, inter= between, cost= rib)
Draw ribs together and depress rib cage Interal intercostals
Prime mover of inspiration Diaphragm (dia= across, phragm= partition)
Flex and rotate lumbar region of vertebral column Rectus abdominis (rectus= straight; abdom = abdomen)
Flex vertebral column and compress abdominal wall External oblique (oblique= running at an angle)
As for external oblique Internal oblique
Compresses abdominal contents transversus abdominis (transverse = running straight across)
Supports and maintains postion of pelvic organs Levator ani (levator= raises, ani= anus)
Supports pelvic organs; supports coccyx and pulls it forward Coccygeus (coccy= coccyx)
supports pelvic organs; steadies central tendon Deep transverse perineal muscle (perine= near anus)
Constricts urethra; allows voluntary inhibition of urination External urethral sphincter (sphin= squeeze)
Retards venous drinage and maintains erection of penis or clitoris Ishiocavernosus (ischi= hip; caverna= hollow chamber)
Empties male urethra; assists in erections Bulbospongiosus (bulbon= bulb, spongio= sponge)
Stabilizes and strengthes central tendon of perineum Superficial transverse perineal muscles (superficial= close to surface)
With ribs fixed, draws scapular forward and downward Pectoralis minor (pectu= chest, minor= lesser)
Rotates scapula so its inferior angle moves laterally and upward Serratus anterior (serratus= saw)
Stabilizes, elevates, retracts, and rotates scapula Trapezius (trapezion= irregular four sided figure)
Elevates/adducts scapular Levator scapulae (levator= raises)
Stabilize scapula Rhomboids (rhomboid= diamond shaped)
Adducts and medially rotates arm. O- sternal end of clavicle, sternum, cartilage of ribs and aponeurosis of external oblique muscle. I- fibers converge to insert by a short tendon into intertubercular sulcus and greater tubercle of humerus. Pectoralis major (pectus= breast, major= larger)
Prime mover of arm abduction when all its fibers contract simultaneously. O- embraces insertion of the trapeziu; lateral third of clavicle; acromion of spine and scapular. I- deltoid tuberosity of humerus Deltoid (delta= triangular)
Prime mover of arm extension; powerful arm adductor medially rotates arm at shoulder. O- indirect attachment via lumbodorsal fascia into spines of lower six thoracic vertebrae, lower 3 to 4 ribs and iliac crest. I- floor of interuberular sulcus of humerus Latissimus dorsi (latissimus= widest; dorsi = back)
Cheif medial rotator of arm Subscapularis (sub under; scapular= scapula)
Intiates abduction of arm. O-supraspinous fossa of scapula. I- superior part of greater tubercle of humerus Supraspinatus (supra= abov, spin= spine)
Rotates arm laterally . O- infraspinous fossa of scapula. I- greater tubuercle of humerus posterior to insertion of supraspinnatus. Infraspinatus (infra= below)
Same actions as infraspinatus muscle. O-lateral border of dorsal scapular surface. I-greater tubercle of humerus inferior to infraspinatus insertion Teres minor (teres= round; minor= lesser)
Extends medially rotates and adducts arm. O- posterior surface of scapula at inferior angle. I- crest of lesser tubercle on anterior humerus; insertion tendon fused with that of latissimus dorsi Teres major
Flex and adducts arm Coracobrachialis (coraco= coracoid; brachi= arm)
Powerful forearm extensor. O-long head infraglenoid tubercle of scapula; lateral head posterios shaft of humerous. I- by common tendon into olecranon of ulna Triceps brachii (triceps = three heads, brachi= arm)
May control ulnar abduction during forearm pronation Anconeus (ancon= elbow)
Flexes and supinates forearm. O- short head: coracoid process. Long head: supraglenoid tubercle and lip of glenoid cavity. I- by common tendon into radial tuberosity Biceps brachii (biceps= two heads)
A major forearm flexor. O- front of distal humerus; embraces insertion of deltoid muscle. I-coronoid process of ulna and capsule of elbow joint. Brachialis
