Which muscles originate on the Zygomatic arch?

The zygomatic arch supports the main jaw muscle, the masseter, which is necessary both for biting and chewing food and for speech. Several other facial muscles attach to the zygomatic bone, as well.


What muscle covers your bone?

There are over 650 muscles in your body. You're going to have to be a lot more specific if you want the correct answer. Which bone? On which side of the bone? Where does it insert?


What is the action and position of the frontails?

The position of the frontalis is over the frontal bone or the forehead. This muscle works with the occipitalis which is over the occipital bone in the back of the head. It's action is to elevate the eyebrows.


A bone imbedded in a tendon is called what bone?

A sesamoid bone. This type of bone is found embedded within a tendon or a muscle, typically where it passes over a joint, to protect the tendon from excessive wear and pressure. An example of a sesamoid bone is the patella, embedded within the patellar tendon.


What are the differences between temporal and non-temporal art works?

Non-temporal works stay the same; temporal works take place over a specific time.


What criteria is used in naming muscles?

1. Direction of the muscle fibers - Muscles named for the directional relationship with imaginary midline division of the body. EX: rectus femoris is the straight muscle of the thigh.2. Relative size of the muscle - Large (maximus), small (minimus), and length (longus) terms are used to describe the muscle's size relative to those around it. EX: gluteus maximus.3. Location of the muscle - Muscles can be named for the bone with which they are associated. EX: the temporalis muscle lays over the temporal bone of the skull.4. Number of origins - The number of origins (starting points) a muscle has determines its name. EX: a Bicep has TWO points of origin.5. Location of the muscle's origin and insertion - Named for its starting point(s) [origin] and its ending [insertion] point. EX: The sternocleidomastoid has origins in the sternumand clavicle and is ended, or inserted, on the mastoid process of the temporal bone.6. Shape of the muscle - Named for a distinct shape. EX: The deltoid is a rough triangular shape. [Deltoid = Triangle in Latin]7. Action of the muscle - Terms like, flexor, extensor, and adductor are used to name muscles based on their movement. EX: Extensor muscles of the wrist extend the wrist.


What is the meaning of temporal correlation?

The temporal correlation would measure the similarity of one signal over time.


Why are there more indirect-that is tendinous- muscle attachments that direct muscle attachments?

The deltoid muscle attaches to the anterior and lateral acromion primarily by direct tendinous attachment. The muscle attaches to the dorsal side of the acromion by periosteal fiber attachment.


Where are the deltoid muscles located?

The Deltoid muscle is a large triangular shaped muscle which lies over the glenohumeral joint and which gives the shoulder its rounded countour, its probably located on the uppermost part of the arm and the top of the shoulder


What population groups tend to get temporal arteritis?

Temporal arteritis almost always occurs in people over 50, and it becomes more common as people age. About 20 out of 100,000 people over the age of 50 suffer from temporal arteritis. Women are affected twice as often as men.


Why are tendons important to a muscle's ability to move a bone?

Tendons are merely the end parts of muscles - at either end, generally comprising tough connective tissue that is also continuous throughout the muscle bounding the muscle and holding it together throughout. Effectively, each muscle acts over a joint and possesses 2 ends; these ends are the tendinous parts of the muscle - or tendons. One tendon is attached to one bone of the joint over which the muscle acts, the other tendon attaches to the other bone involved - the bones, in this sense, act as levers - the 'fulcrum' or pivoting point being the joint arrangement itself, which is between the 2 tendons of the muscle arrangement. A ready Example might be the [frontal] 'quadriceps' muscle at the front of the knee: The muscle tendon at the upper end of the body attaches to the large femur (upper leg) bone. The tendon at the lower end attaches to the lower leg bone or tibia, but at its upper end (just below the knee cap). The large quad muscles contract in length such that they bulk out at the front as a result; and this contraction or shortening of length of the muscle at the front of the knee joint causes the leg to be straightened out. Many tendons are found in and around joints and also assist in the stabilization of the joint.
