  1. Axial Muscles Salt lake community college Human anatomy laboratory

  2. Have both their origins and insertions on parts of the axial skeleton. • Move the head and spinal column. • nonverbal communication • chewing • swallowing • Aid breathing. • Support and protect the abdominal and pelvic organs. • Not responsible for stabilizing or moving the pectoral or pelvic girdles or their attached limbs. Axial Muscles

  3. Originate in the superficial fascia or on the skull bones. • Insert into the superficial fascia of the skin. • Contort the skincausing it to move. Muscles of Facial Expression

  4. Refers to the process of chewing. • Move the mandible at the temporomandibular joint. • Paired muscles of mastication • temporalis • masseter Muscles of Mastication

  5. Flex the head and neck downward. • “neck flexion” and “head flexion” refer to the same movement • The main muscles are the sternocleidomastoid and the three scalenes. Anterior and Lateral Neck Muscles

  6. Extend the head/neck. • The trapezius attaches to the skull and helps extend the head/neck. • Primary function is to help move the pectoral girdle. Posterior Neck Muscles

  7. Respiration involves inhalation and exhalation. • Diaphragm • Internal intercostals • External intercostals Muscles of Respiration

  8. Is an internally placed, dome-shaped muscle. • Forms a partition between the thoracic and abdominal cavities. • The most important muscle associated with breathing. The Diaphragm

  9. Four pairs of muscles collectively compress and hold the abdominal organs in place. • the external oblique • internal oblique • transversus abdominis • rectus abdominis • Work together to flex and stabilize the vertebral column. • When they unilaterally contract they laterally flex the vertebral column. Muscles of the Abdominal Wall
