Masseter O: Maxilla I: Mandible A: Closes jaw and elevates mandible
Temporalis O: Temporal fossa I: Superior Temporal Line A: Closes jaw, elevates & retracts mandible
Medial Pterygoid O: Medial Pterygoid plate I: Mandible A: Elevates mandible, grinding movements
Lateral Pterygoid O: Later Pterygoid plate I: Mandible A: moves jaw anteriorly (protects jaw)
Platysma (hypodermis layer of nect) O: Fascia of chest (over pectoral muscles) I: Lower margin mandible A: Depresses mandible, pulls down and back lower lip (downward sag of mouth)
Sternocleidomastoid O: Sternum & clavicle I: Mastoid A: Flexion of neck forward, generally against resistance; rotate head toward shoulder on opposite side
Digastric O: Lower margin of mandible (anterior belly) and mastoid process (posterior belly) I: By a connective tissue loop to hyoid bone A: Opens mouth and depresses mandible
Mylohyoid O: Medial surface of mandible I: Medial raphe A: Elevates hyoid bone and base of tongue during swallowing
Sternohyoid O: Sternum I: Hyoid bone A: Acting with sternothyroid and omohyoid (all inferior to hyoid bone), depresses Larynx and hyoid bone if mandible is fixed, may also flex skull
Sternothyroid O: Sternum I: Thyroid cartilage A: Acting with sternothyroid and omohyoid (all inferior to hyoid bone), depresses Larynx and hyoid bone if mandible is fixed, may also flex skull
Thyrohyoid O: Thyroid Cartilage I: Hyoid bone A: Depress hyoid bone;elevates larynx if hyoid is fixed
Pectoralis Major O: Clavicle, sternum, ribs I: Head of humerus A: Adducts
Serratus Anterior O: Lateral aspect of ribs I: Scapula A: Moves scapula forward
Deltoid O: Clavicle, scapula I: Deltoid Tuberosity (humerus) A: Abduction
External Intercostals O: Inferior border of rib above I: Superior border of rib below A: Pulls ribs towards each other to elevate rib cage, aid in inspiration
