The lever systems, and structure and function of the adductor muscles, of the mandibles of large male Carcinus maenas (L.) were investigated. The functional mechanical advantage (FMA) of the external adductor muscles, measured at the middle of the biting edge of the mandible, was 1·53 ±...
Pretend you are standing on your right leg with your left leg raised off to the side of your body. The adductor muscles in your left leg function to move the leg toward your body and back down to the ground. Adductor muscles have the opposite function as abductor muscles. Abductor muscles...
Adductor magnus.One of the largest muscles in the body, this attaches along the linea aspera, a line running vertically along the inside of your thighbone. Adductor brevis and adductor longus.These adductors trace a similar path, reinforcing the action of the broad central portion of the adduct...
1. The anatomy of the upper and lower jaws of the carp, together with the associated maxillaris and mandibularis muscles of the adductor mandibulae complex, is described. 2. From the electromyograms of the adductor mandibulae muscles, re... CM Ballintijn,AVD Burg,BP Egberink - 《Journal ...
Biceps femoris is a long muscle of the posterior aspect of the thigh. Together with the semitendinosus and semimembranosus muscles, it makes the group of muscles commonly known as the hamstrings. The biceps femoris muscle runs from the ischial tuberosity, all the way to the proximal part of ...
They include the abductor pollicis, adductor pollicis, opponens pollicis, and flexor pollicis brevis. Thumb motion is facilitated through the coordination of these intrinsic muscles. The thumb musculature dynamically allows for pr...
Learn about lower leg anatomy and foot muscle anatomy. Explore the muscles, bones, and connective structures of the lower leg and foot in detail...
Intrinsic muscles The intrinsic muscles of the larynx alter both the length and the tension placed upon the vocal cords as well as the rima glottidis. The adductor muscle group is made up of the lateral cricoarytenoid muscles and the transverse arytenoid muscles. The muscles that govern ...
In vivo moment arm lengths for hip extensor muscles at different angles of hip flexion Moment arm lengths of three hip extensor muscles, the gluteus maximus, the hamstrings and the adductor magnus, were determined at hip flexion angles from 0... G Németh,H Ohlsén - 《Journal of Biomechanics...
In foetuses, rhythmical breathing movements occurred in the presence of rapid eye movements and a low voltage electrocorticogram (REM state) and were accompanied by phasic laryngeal abduction; adductor muscles and intercostals were largely inactive. During the foetal non-REM state laryngeal adductor ...
