This muscle comprises of three main sections. These sections include theorbital orbicularis,palpebral orbicularisandlacrimal orbicularis.¹ Origin This muscle originates from thenasal portionof thefrontal bone,frontal processof themaxilla,medial palpebral ligament, as well as thelacrimal crestandlacrimal b...
Insertions: Posterior border of thyroid cartilage, blends with contralateral palatopharyngeus muscle Salpingopharyngeus Origins: Inferior/cartilaginous part of auditory (Eustachian) tube Insertions: Blends with palatopharyngeus muscle Stylopharyngeus Origins: Medial base of styloid process of temporal bone ...
The ascending (lower) part, composed of inferior fibres Along with latissimus dorsi, the trapezius is the most superficial of the superficial extrinsic back muscles. It overlies the remaining muscles of this group, namely the rhomboids and levator scapulae. Deep to the trapezius muscle we can al...
A fleshy bulk of muscle fibres arise from each head of gastrocnemius and gradually come together (without blending), inserting into the posterior surface of a broad membranous tendon which fuses with the soleus tendon to form the upper part of the tendocalcaneus, more commonly referred to as ...
There was marked heterogeneity of NMJ morphology both within and between species, with no overall relationship found between NMJ morphology and muscle fibre diameter or body size. Mice had the largest NMJs on the smallest muscle fibres; cats had the smallest NMJs on the largest muscle fibres. ...
Possible traces of original muscle fibres are preserved in the myomeres of one specimen. The tail is present on two specimens, with fin rays representing a caudal fin that may be symmetrical or may be slightly more extensive on the ventral margin. The evidence of the soft-part anatomy, ...
Yet, in spite of these remarkable advances, Bowman arrived at the conclusion that the structure of striated muscle fibres is essentially irrelevant for the mechanism of contraction. Possible reasons behind Bowman's breakthrough accomplishments as a pioneer of modern muscle research, and his failure ...
All fibres converge on a central tendon in the middle of the trunk, which has no bony insertions. The diaphragm is the main muscle of breathing, responsible for inspiration. It also depresses the costal cartilages and receives innervation from thephrenic nerve(C3-C5). ...
Besides the importance of having enough donor nerve fibres, it is calculated that the small amount of motor nerve fibres can be best used if muscle branches of the donor nerves are connected to muscle branches of the acceptor nerves. Because of the separation between normal laboratory animals ...
