Study Notes
Abduction
- Movement away from the midline of the body or a body part
Adduction
- Movement towards the midline of the body or a body part
Elevation
- Movement in a superior direction
Depression
- Movement in an inferior direction
Origin or Head of Muscles
- This is where the muscle begins and attaches to a bone that is relatively stationary during contraction. It is typically the more proximal attachment point.
Insertion Point of Muscles
- This is where the muscle ends and attaches to a bone that is typically moved during contraction. It’s typically the more distal attachment point.
Extrinsic Ocular Muscles
- These are six muscles that control eye movements, attaching to the sclera of the eye.
Intrinsic Ocular Muscles
- These are muscles that control the size of the pupil and the shape of the lens within the eye.
Muscles Involved in Chewing
- Masseter - Elevates the mandible
- Temporalis - Elevates and retracts the mandible
- Medial Pterygoid - Elevates the mandible and moves it forward
- Lateral Pterygoid - Depresses and protrudes the mandible
Abduction
- Movement away from the midline of the body or body part.
Adduction
- Movement towards the midline of the body or body part.
Elevation Movement
- Movement in a superior direction.
Depression Movement
- Movement in an inferior direction.
Origin or Head of a Muscle
- The fixed attachment point of a muscle, usually the less moveable end.
Insertion Point of a Muscle
- The moveable attachment point of a muscle, usually the end that moves during contraction.
Extrinsic Ocular Muscles
- Six muscles that control eye movement and originate outside of the eye.
Intrinsic Ocular Muscles
- Muscles located entirely within the eye, responsible for pupil size and lens shape.
Muscles for Chewing
- Masseter: A powerful muscle that closes the jaw.
- Temporalis: Located on the side of the head, it also helps close the jaw.
- Medial Pterygoid: Assists in closing and protruding the jaw.
- Lateral Pterygoid: Opens the jaw and helps with lateral movements.
Abduction
- Movement of a body part away from the midline of the body.
- Think: Abduction Away from midline.
Adduction
- Movement of a body part towards the midline of the body.
- Think: Adduction Atowards midline.
Elevation Movement
- Raising a body part.
- Think: Elevation Elevating a body part.
Depression Movement
- Lowering a body part.
- Think: Depression Depressing a body part.
Origin/Head of Muscle
- The fixed attachment point of a muscle, often on a bone.
- The muscle remains stationary while the insertion point moves during contraction.
Insertion Point of Muscle
- The mobile attachment point of a muscle, typically on a bone or other structure that moves during contraction.
- The insertion point moves towards the origin during muscle contraction.
Extrinsic Ocular Muscles
- Six muscles responsible for moving the eyeball in the orbit.
- They originate from the bones surrounding the orbit and insert on the sclera (the white part of the eye).
- Their movements are crucial for coordinating eye movement and focusing on objects.
Intrinsic Ocular Muscles
- Muscles located inside the eyeball.
- Control the shape of the lens and pupil size.
- Examples include the ciliary muscle (focuses the lens) and the iris sphincter (controls pupil size).
Muscles Used for Chewing
- Masseter: Strongest muscle of mastication (chewing) and elevates the mandible.
- Temporalis: Elevates and retracts the mandible.
- Medial Pterygoid: Elevates and protrudes the mandible.
- Lateral Pterygoid: Depresses and protrudes the mandible and aids in side-to-side jaw movement.
