The muscle which can 'cancel' or to some degree reverse the action of the muscle. Muscle synergies are noted in parentheses when relevant. O (Occurrences) Number of times that the named muscle row occurs in a standard human body. Here it may also be denoted when a given muscles only occurs in a male or a female body.
An internationalised vector image was then created by User:Silversmith and uploaded to Commons as Image:Schematic diagram of the human eye.svg (see right). On request, this version with English annotations was created and uploaded here. Later, the text labels were made into hyperlinks pointing at relevant articles in the English Wikipedia.
The extraocular muscles, or extrinsic ocular muscles, are the seven extrinsic muscles of the eye in humans and other animals. [1] Six of the extraocular muscles, the four recti muscles, and the superior and inferior oblique muscles, control movement of the eye. The other muscle, the levator palpebrae superioris, controls eyelid elevation.
Muscles Origin Insertion Flexion (150°–170°) Anterior fibers of deltoid: Clavicle: Middle of lateral surface of shaft of humerus: Clavicular part of pectoralis major: Clavicle Lateral lip of bicipital groove of humerus Long head of biceps brachii: Supraglenoid tubercle of scapula: Tuberosity of radius, Deep fascia of forearm: Short head of ...
Intrinsic ocular muscles [1] or intraocular muscles [2] are muscles of the inside of the eye structure. The intraocular muscles are responsible for the protraction and retraction of the eyelids and reaction to light and pupil accommodation. [2] They're different to the extraocular muscles that are outside of the eye and control the external ...
The scapula (pl.: scapulae or scapulas [1]), also known as the shoulder blade, is the bone that connects the humerus (upper arm bone) with the clavicle (collar bone). Like their connected bones, the scapulae are paired, with each scapula on either side of the body being roughly a mirror image of the other.
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to human anatomy: Human anatomy is the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human. It is subdivided into gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy, regional anatomy, or anthropotomy) is the study of anatomical ...
The left clavicle is usually longer and weaker than the right clavicle. [8] [10] The collarbones are sometimes partly or completely absent in cleidocranial dysostosis. The levator claviculae muscle, present in 2–3% of people, originates on the transverse processes of the upper cervical vertebrae and is inserted in the lateral half of the ...
