Muscles of the tongue Intrinsic: Superior longitudinal, inferior longitudinal, transverse and vertical muscles Extrinsic: Genioglossus, hyoglossus, styloglossus and palatoglossus muscles Innervation of the tongue Motor: All muscles are innervated by hypoglossal nerve (CN XII), except for palatoglossus...
Except for the brain, the trunk houses all the vital organs of the human body. The torso muscles attach to the skeletal core of the trunk, and depending on their location are divided into two large groups: anterolateral muscles of the trunk posterior muscles of the trunk Trunk muscles have ...
The right eye exhibits greater proptosis and eyelid swelling, although no lid lag was observed Full size image Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) unveiled fusiform enlargement of nearly all muscles in the right eye except the lateral rectus muscle and lateral and medial ...

The quadriceps and hamstring muscles potentially provide dynamic stability of the knee in the frontal plane due to their abductor/adductor torque. However, because of the mutual junctions of the quadriceps muscles and the patellar tendon, they cannot preferentially control abduction (vastus medialis) ...
Three pairs ofsalivary glandsprovide secretions to the mouth. Eachparotid glandis ventral (anterior and inferior) to the external auditory meatus. The caudal portion of the gland lies superficial to theinternal carotid artery, the internaljugular vein, and numerous nerves. It is traversed by the ...
Examples of some of the body's capabilities. To give some an idea of what the body is capable, consider the number of moving joints of the body(I'm not happy to provide a figure but various suggestions appearhere on Quora.)and therange of motionof those joints(not an exhaustive list...
Muscles use energy in the form of ATP. The energy from ATP is used to reset the myosin crossbridge head and release the actin filament. To make ATP, the muscle does the following: Breaks down creatine phosphate, adding the phosphate to ADP to create ATP Carries out anaerobic respiration, ...
In addition, proper palmar digital nerves provide palmar cutaneous innervation for the thumb, index, middle and lateral half of ring fingers as distal third of the dorsal aspect of the same digits. The ulnar nerve enters the hand under the superficial part of the flexor retinaculum (in Guyon’...
Each cell is enveloped by a basement membrane and other connective fibers which bridge the spaces between adjacent cells; condensations of these extracellular structures, known as dense plaques, provide a region of attachment for the smooth muscle cells. Two adjacent dense plaques allow for cell–...
