The obliquus capitis muscles are a group of muscles of the lower skull and upper neck. Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn about these important muscles, including their origin, insertion, and action. Back and Forth, Back and Forth ...
What are the two muscles that are forearm flexors and have no role in supination? What are the origin, insertion, and action of the Serratus anterior muscle? The latissimus dorsi muscle has what action? What muscle if the upper limb flexes and supinates the forearm?
Origin of pectineus The pectineus originates on the ramus of the pubis. Insertion of pectineus It inserts between the lesser trochanter and the linea aspera. Origin of adductor brevis The adductor brevis muscle originates on the inferior ramus of the pubis. Insertion of adductor brevis It inserts...
The word ''magnus'' means large in Latin, and it is the largest of the adductor muscles. In the field of anatomy, muscles are usually described by their origin (where they start), insertion (where they end), and action (the movement they produce in the body). The following list ...
At one end, we have their origin. This is where the muscle is firmly anchored to the skeleton. At the other end, we have the insertion point. This is where the end of the muscle connects to another bone for the purpose of mobility. The origin...
The arm muscles originate from different locations of the scapula to insert on the humerus and carry out their functions via the glenohumeral joint. The arm muscles are organized into two compartments: Anterior (flexor) compartment: biceps brachii, brach
The tendinous origins and insertions of the extraocular muscles were studied embryologically by macroscopic and microscopic methods. It is concluded from this investigation that these tendons of origin and insertion arise from mesenchymal tissue similar to that of their respective muscles. These tendon-...
A convergent (a.k.a. triangular) muscle has a broad origin with fascicles converging toward a single tendon of insertion. Such a muscle is triangular or fan shaped. One example is the pectoralis major muscle of the anterior thorax. Parallel Thyrohyoid muscle Musculus thyrohyoideus 1/6 ...
Each head of biceps femoris has its own origin and supply, but they share the common insertion. The long head of biceps femoris arises from the ischial tuberosity and sacrotuberous ligament. The short head arises from the lateral lip of the linea aspera and lateral supracondylar line of femur...
Origin: T3-T6 spinous processes Insertion: transverse processes of atlas and axis, posterior tubercle of the C3 vertebra Action: Unilateral: rotation of the upper cervical vertebra Bilateral: extension of the upper cervical spine Relationships: ...
