The stenrocleidomastoid muscle bilaterally does neck extension, while unilaterally, they laterally flex the Neck to the same side of the muscle contracting, and rotates th neck to the contra lateral side. So if you rotate to the left, the right sternocleidomastoid muscle is working. The right stenrocleidomastoid will also cause right lateral flexion( side bending)

Where is the sternomastoid muscle located in cats?
Sternomastoid (cat) corresponds to the medial portion of the sternocleidomastoid (human).origin: manubrium and median raphe.insertion: lateral half of lambdoidal ridge and mastoid portion of temporal bone as far as the mastoid process.The sternomastoid muscle defines the anterior triangle of the neck. In humans it is the thick strap like muscle that turns the head to the left or right.
How does the sternomastoid muscle help with breathing?

What muscle makes our arms legs and head move?
The primary muscle responsible for moving our arms and legs is the skeletal muscle, which is under voluntary control and enables movement by contracting and relaxing. In the head, muscles like the sternocleidomastoid and facial muscles facilitate movement and expression. All these muscles work in coordination with the skeletal system and the nervous system to produce movement throughout the body.
What is the function of the stemocleidomastoid?

What are the several bones that control head movement called?
the spine
How long does it take for a newborn to get full muscle control of his head?

Is the trapezius a smooth muscle?
No, the trapezius is not a smooth muscle; it is a skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscles, like the trapezius, are under voluntary control and are responsible for movements of the head, neck, and shoulders. In contrast, smooth muscles are involuntary and are found in structures like blood vessels and the digestive tract. The trapezius plays a key role in posture and movement, particularly in shrugging the shoulders and tilting the head.
Where is the location of the Skeleta muscle?
The skeletal muscle is located throughout the body, attached to the skeleton via tendons. It is primarily found in the limbs, torso, and head, facilitating voluntary movements such as walking, lifting, and other physical activities. These muscles are striated in appearance and are under conscious control, allowing for coordinated movement.
What muscle originates on the temporal fossa?
