What is the rectus capitis muscle action?
aids in flexion of the head and the neck
What are the differences between the short and long head of the biceps muscle?
The short head of the biceps muscle is located on the inner side of the arm, while the long head is on the outer side. The short head is more involved in elbow flexion, while the long head is more involved in shoulder flexion and stability.
What are action in using the sternocleidmastoid muscle?
Individually rotation of the head to the opposite side. Together , flexion of the neck.
What are antagonist muscle in head flexion?
semispinalis capitis splenius capitis longismuss capitis spinalis capitis trapezius
Which muscle is the antagonist muscle to the biceps brachii during sholder flexion?
any muscle that assist in shoulder extention posterior fibor of deltoid Triceps long head
When this muscle contracts the head rotates so that the face turns downward and to the opposite side?
sternocleidomstoid
When this muscle contracts the head rotates so that the face turns downward and to the opposite side.?
sternocleidomstoid
Prime mover of flexion of head?
The prime mover of flexion of the head is the sternocleidomastoid muscle. It acts to tilt and rotate the head to the opposite side when contracted unilaterally and both muscles together flex the neck and bring the head towards the chest.
What are the agonists muscles for shoulder extension?
The Pectoralis major (clavicular head), coracobrachialis, and biceps brachia are the synergists for shoulder flexion. For horizontal flexion, the Anterior deltoid is the synergist muscle.
What is the function of the stemocleidomastoid?
The muscle that is responsible for the movement of the head from left to right.
What is antagonist muscle to scalene?
Sternocleidomastoid and the Scalenes are Synergists, which mean that they work together to provide the same movements (flexion, rotation and lateral flexion of the head and neck)An Antagonist is a muscle that does the opposite movements. In this case, Antagonists of the Scalenes would be your posterior neck muscles, such as:Upper TrapeziusSplenius CapitusSplenius CervicisSemispinalis Capitis, etc
