Study Notes
- The lateral pterygoid muscle is responsible for protraction of the mandible.
- The sternocleidomastoid originates at the top of the manubrium and the medial one-third of the clavicle.
- The anterior triangle is formed by the trachea, the base of the mandible, and the sternocleidomastoid muscle.
- The brachial plexus is located within the posterior triangle.
- The skull is formed by 22 bones.
- Fibrous joints connect the cranial bones.
- The occipital bone is located at the posterior and inferior aspects of the cranium.
- The external occipital protuberance, located at the center of the occiput, is the attachment site for the ligamentum nuchae.
- The superior nuchal line of the occiput serves as an attachment site for several neck muscles.
- The parietal bones merge at the body's midline to form the sagittal suture.
- The mastoid process and zygomatic arch are landmarks on the temporal bone.
- The mastoid process is located directly behind the earlobe and serves as an attachment site for the sternocleidomastoid.
- The temporalis muscle fills the space between the zygomatic arch and cranium.
- The styloid process is a bony landmark of the temporal bone that should be explored with caution.
- The frontal bone forms the forehead and upper rim of the eye sockets.
- The lateral portions of the sphenoid bone are called the greater wings.
- The zygomatic bone forms the anterior aspect of the cheekbone and serves as an attachment site for the masseter.
- The levator scapula acts as an antagonist to the anterior scalene during flexion of the cervical spine.
- The left anterior scalene acts as a synergist with the left sternocleidomastoid during rotation of the cervical spine to the right.
- The temporalis acts as an antagonist to the geniohyoid during depression of the mandible.
- The mastoid process of the temporal bone is part of the insertion of the sternocleidomastoid.
- The sternocleidomastoid rotates the head and neck to the opposite side.
- One head of the sternocleidomastoid attaches at the sternum, the second attaches at the clavicle.
- To make the sternocleidomastoid contraction more visible, position the head slightly rotated away from the side being palpated.
- The scalenes are located between the sternocleidomastoid and the anterior, lateral flap of the trapezius.
- The posterior scalene is the least accessible for palpation.
- The brachial plexus and subclavian artery pass through the gap between the anterior and middle scalenes.
- Rotating the head and neck to the same side will lengthen the fibers of the anterior scalene.
- The anterior scalene originates at the transverse processes of the 3rd-6th cervical vertebrae.
- The anterior scalene inserts at the first rib.
- The anterior scalene flexes the head and neck.
- The middle scalene originates at the transverse processes of the 2nd-7th cervical vertebrae.
- The middle scalene inserts at the first rib.
- The middle scalene rotates the head and neck to the opposite side.
- The posterior scalene originates at the transverse processes of the sixth and seventh cervical vertebrae.
- The posterior scalene inserts at the second rib.
- The posterior scalene laterally flexes the head and neck to the same side.
- The scalenes can be palpated while passively flexing the neck and having the partner breathe deeply into their upper chest.
- The anterior scalene lies partially deep to the lateral edge of the sternocleidomastoid.
- To discern the posterior scalene from the levator scapula, ask the partner to elevate the scapula.
- The masseter originates at the zygomatic arch.
- The masseter inserts at the angle and ramus of the mandible.
- The masseter elevates the mandible.
- The masseter is the strongest muscle in the body relative to its size.
- Mandible elevation would shorten the fibers of the masseter.
- The temporalis has a broad origin attaching to the frontal, temporal, and parietal bones.
- Protraction of the mandible will lengthen the temporalis.
- The temporalis originates at the temporal fossa and fascia.
- The temporalis inserts at the coronoid process and anterior edge of the ramus of the mandible.
- The temporalis retracts the mandible.
- To locate the insertion of the temporalis, the partner must fully open their mouth.
- The suprahyoid muscles form a wall of muscle along the underside of the jaw.
- Retraction of the mandible will lengthen the fibers of the medial pterygoid.
- The longus colli laterally flexes the head and neck to the same side.

- If the eyes are plucked out of socket, the sphenoid bone would be visible to see
- If the clavicle is shifted inferiorly suddenly, the platysma muscle's tendon would become strained.
- The depressor anguli oris works along with mentalis to create a pouting facial expression.
- An engaged procerus upon a client may indicate they are angry.
- Having the head jostled violently while on a roller coaster will likely cause the most strain upon the scalene muscle group.
