Why acting alone each muscle of this pear turns the head toward the opposite shoulder?
Each muscle of the neck, such as the sternocleidomastoid, works by contracting and pulling the head in a specific direction. When one side of the muscle contracts, it creates a torque that turns the head toward the opposite shoulder due to the muscle's attachment points. This unilateral contraction results in rotation and lateral flexion of the neck, effectively directing the head away from the contracting muscle. Thus, acting alone, each muscle facilitates the rotation of the head toward the opposite side.
