Pharynx

(generated)

* *[- inferior pharyngeal constrictor muscle]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial laryngeal nerve, external}; ACTION={swallowing}
* *[- middle pharyngeal constrictor muscle]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial vagus nerve, pharyngeal plexus}; ACTION={swallowing}
* *[- superior pharyngeal constrictor muscle]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial vagus nerve, pharyngeal plexus}; ACTION={swallowing}

Larynx

(generated)

  • *Cricoarytenoid muscle*
* *[- lateral cricoarytenoid muscle]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial inferior laryngeal nerve}; ACTION={adduct and medially rotate the cartilage, pulling the vocal ligaments towards the midline and backwards and so closing off the rima glottidis}
* *[- posterior cricoarytenoid muscle]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial inferior laryngeal nerve}; ACTION={abducts and laterally rotates the cartilage, pulling the vocal ligaments away from the midline and forward and so opening the rima glottidis}

TARGET.TEA.NECK

Suboccipital

(generated)

  • *Obliquus capitis*
* *[- obliquus capitis inferior muscle]*; TYPE={extensor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical suboccipital nerve}; ACTION={rotation of head and neck}
* *[- obliquus capitis superior muscle]*; TYPE={extensor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical suboccipital nerve}; ACTION={extends head and flex head to the ipsilateral side}
  • *Rectus capitis posterior*
* *[- rectus capitis posterior major muscle]*; TYPE={extensor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical suboccipital nerve}; ACTION={ipsilateral rotation of head and extension}
* *[- rectus capitis posterior minor muscle]*; TYPE={extensor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical suboccipital nerve}; ACTION={extends the head at the neck, but is now considered to be more of a sensory organ than a muscle}

Cervical

(generated)

* *[- splenius capitis muscle]*; TYPE={extensor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical nerve to splenius capitis muscle}; ACTION={prime mover for head extension; can also allow lateral flexion and rotation of the cervical spine}
* *[- splenius cervicis muscle]*; TYPE={extensor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical nerve to splenius cervilis muscle}; ACTION={bilaterally: extend the head and neck, unilaterally: lateral flexion to the same side, rotation to the same side}

Suprahyoid

(generated)

  • *Digastric muscle*
* *[- digastric muscle, facial]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial facial nerve, digastric branch}; ACTION={opens the jaw when the masseter and the temporalis are relaxed; elevate hyoid bone to open mouth}
* *[- digastric muscle, trigeminal]*; TYPE={cranial}; NERVES={HumanNervesCranial mylohyoid nerve}; ACTION={opens the jaw when the masseter and the temporalis are relaxed}

Infrahyoid/Strap

(generated)

Vertebrate

(generated)

* *[- scalenus anterior muscle]*; TYPE={flexor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical nerve to scalene and levator scapulae muscles}; ACTION={C5, C6, elevates first rib, rotate the neck to the opposite side}
* *[- scalenus medius muscle]*; TYPE={flexor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical nerve to scalene and levator scapulae muscles}; ACTION={C3, C4, C5, C6, C7, C8, elevate 1st rib, laterally flex (bend) the neck to the same side}
* *[- scalenus posterior muscle]*; TYPE={flexor}; NERVES={HumanNervesSpinalCervical nerve to scalene and levator scapulae muscles}; ACTION={C6, C7, C8, elevate 2nd rib, tilt the neck to the same side}
