Brachialis (Insertion) - Ans-Tuberosity of ulna
Name the three types of muscle tissue found in the body: - Ans-Cardiac, skeletal and smooth
What does it mean that skeletal muscles are under conscious control? - Ans-A person can consciously
decide to use these muscles to complete an action.
What is included in the central nervous system? - Ans-Brain and spinal cord
Describe a motor action vs. sensory input in terms of the nervous system. - Ans-Messages from the
central nervous system to a muscle are called a motor actions. Nerves also carry information from the
external environment to the central nervous system, called sensation or sensory input.
True or false: The brachial plexus supplies nerves to the lower extremities. - Ans-False
Describe the difference between tendons and ligaments. - Ans-Tendons are connective tissues that
connect skeletal muscle to bone at each end. Ligaments are connective tissue that connects bone to
bone, helping to stabilize joints where bones meet.
Describe the origin and insertion of attachment to bones. - Ans-The origin is the bony site of attachment
which is stationary during the movement. The insertion of a muscle is the bony site of attachment that is
moved by the muscle contraction.
Describe muscle action and innervation. - Ans-The action of the muscle is what effect is produced by the
muscle's contraction. The innervation is the peripheral nerve that supplies a muscle with the message
from the brain.Orbicularis oculi (Action) - Ans-eye closure
Orbicularis oculi (Innervation) - Ans-facial nerve (CN VII)
Buccinator (Action) - Ans-compresses cheek
Buccinator (innervation) - Ans-facial nerve (CN VII)
Temporalis (Action) - Ans-Elevates mandible, closes jaw
Temporalis (Innervation) - Ans-Trigeminal nerve (CN V, mandibular branch)
Sternocleidomastoid (Origin) - Ans-Sternal end of clavicle and manubrium
Sternocleidomastoid (Insertion) - Ans-Mastoid region of skull
Sternocleidomastoid (Action) - Ans-Bilateral: Neck flexion
Unilateral: Turns face to opposite side
Sternocleidomastoid (Innervation) - Ans-Accessory nerve (CN XI)
Longissimus thoracis (Origin) - Ans-Transverse process of inferior thoracic, superior lumbar vertebrae
Longissimus thoracis (Insertion) - Ans-Transverse process of middle and superior cervical vertebrae
Longissimus thoracis (Action) - Ans-Bilateral extend head
