Question
Answer
digastric   origin: mastoid region of temporal bone and inferior surface of mandible  
🗑
digastric   insertion: hyoid bone  
🗑
digastric   has two bellies  
🗑
digastric   action: depresses mandible and/or elevates larynx  
🗑
sternohyoid   origin: clavicle and sternum  
🗑
sternohyoid   insertion: hyoid bone  
🗑
sternohyoid   thin muscle attaching sternum to the hyoid  
🗑
sternohyoid   action: depresses hyoid bone and larynx  
🗑
stylohyoid   origin: styloid process of temporal bone  
🗑
stylohyoid   insertion: hyoid bone  
🗑
stylohyoid   forms a muscular connection between the hyoid bone and the styloid process of the skull  
🗑
stylohyoid   action: elevates larynx  
🗑
sternocleidomastoid   origin: superior margins of sternum and clavicle  
🗑
sternocleidomastoid   insertion: mastoid region of skull  
🗑
sternocleidomastoid   extends from the clavicle and the sternum to the mastoid region of the skull  
🗑
sternocleidomastoid   action: both sides together flex the neck; one side alone bends head towards shoulder and turns face to opposite side  
🗑
spinalis group   origin: spinous processes and transverse processes of cervical, thoracic, and upper lumbar vertebrae  
🗑
spinalis group   insertion: base of skull and spinous processes of cervical, thoracic and upper thoracic vertebrae  
🗑

🗑
longissimus group   origin: processes of lower cervical, thoracic, and upper lumbar vertebrae  
🗑
longissimus group   insertion: mastoid process of temporal bone, transverse process of cervical vertebrae, and inferior surfaces of ribs  
🗑
longissimus group   action: the two sides act together to extend vertebral column; either alone rotates and laterally flexes head or vertebral column to that side  
🗑
iliocostalis group   origin: superior borders of ribs and iliac crest  
🗑
iliocostalis group   insertion: transverse processes of cervical vertebrae and inferior surfaces of ribs  
🗑
iliocostalis group   action: extends vertebral column or moves laterally to that side; moves ribs  
🗑
quadratus lumborum   origin: iliac crest  
🗑
quadratus lumborum   insertion: last rib and transverse processes of lumber vertebrae  
🗑
quadratus lumborum   action: together they depress ribs, flex vertebral column; one side acting alone produces lateral flexion  
🗑
