Synonym: musculus adductor pollicis, adductor muscle of thumb. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Aeby's muscle | <anatomy> The "sucking muscle," a labial muscle formed by sagittal fibres running from the skin to the mucous membrane. Synonym: Aeby's muscle, Bovero's muscle, compressor muscle of lips, Klein's muscle, Krause's muscle, mucocutaneous muscle, musculus cutaneomucosus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| alar part of nasalis muscle | <anatomy> See: nasalis muscle. Synonym: pars alaris musculi nasalis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Albinus' muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, from platysma and fascia of masseter; insertion, orbicularis oris and skin at corner of mouth; action, draws angle of mouth laterally, lenghthening rima oris; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus risorius, Albinus' muscle, Santorini's muscle. Origin: L. Risor, a laughter, fr. Rideo, pp. Risus, to laugh (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior belly of digastric muscle | <anatomy> The portion of the digastric muscle which extends anteriorly from the intermediate tendon, and attaches to the posterior aspect of the mandible. Synonym: venter anterior musculi digastrici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior rectus muscle of head | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, transverse process and lateral mass of atlas; insertion, basilar process of occipital bone; action, turns and inclines head forward; nerve supply, ventral primary ramus of first and second cervical spinal nerve. Synonym: musculus rectus capitis anterior, anterior rectus muscle of head, musculus rectus capitis anticus minor. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior scalene muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, anterior tubercles of transverse processes of third to sixth cervical vertebrae; insertion, scalene tubercle of first rib; action, raises first rib; nerve supply, cervical plexus. Synonym: musculus scalenus anterior, anterior scalene muscle, musculus scalenus anticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior serratus muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, from centre of lateral aspect of first eight to nine ribs; insertion, superior and inferior angles and intervening medial margin of scapula; action, rotates scapula and pulls it forward, elevates ribs; nerve supply, long thoracic from brachial plexus. Synonym: musculus serratus anterior, anterior serratus muscle, costoscapularis, musculus serratus magnus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior tibial muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, upper two-thirds of lateral surface of tibia, interosseous membrane, and intermuscular septum; insertion, medial cuneiform and base of first metatarsal; action, dorsiflexion and inversion of foot; nerve supply, deep peroneal. Synonym: musculus tibialis anterior, anterior tibial muscle, musculus tibialis anticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antitragicus muscle | <anatomy> A band of transverse muscular fibres on the outer surface of the antitragus, arising from the border of the intertragic notch and inserted into the anthelix and cauda helicis. Synonym: musculus antitragicus, muscle of antitragus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis of external abdominal oblique muscle | <anatomy> Broad, flat tendinous portion of the external abdominal oblique muscle. The fleshy fibres of the muscle end in the aponeurosis along a line descending vertically from the costochondral joint of the ninth rib then turning laterally just below the level of the umbilicus toward the anterior superior iliac spine. The fibres of the aponeurosis run medially and inferiorly, contributing to the anterior wall of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle and decussating with those of the contralateral aponeurosis at the median linea alba. Inferomedially, the aponeurosis is attached to the upper border of the pubic symphysis, the pubic crest and pubic tubercle. Between the anterior superior iliac spine and the pubic tubercle, it is thickened and turned under, forming the inguinal ligaments. The portion of the aponeurosis attached to the pubic bone forms the superficial inguinal ring by splitting into medial and lateral crura. See: external spermatic fascia, inguinal ligament, lacunar ligament, pectineal ligament, reflected inguinal ligament, superficial inguinal ring, rectus sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aponeurosis of internal abdominal oblique muscle | <anatomy> Broad, flat tendinous portion of the internal abdominal oblique muscle. The fleshy fibres of the muscle end in the aponeurosis lateral to the semilunar line. The uppermost portion of the aponeurosis is attached to the outer surfaces and lower borders of the seventh to ninth costal cartilages. Of the portion extending between the costoxiphoid margin and the pubis, the upper two-thirds splits into anterior and posterior laminae at the lateral border of the rectus abdominis muscle to contribute to the anterior and posterior walls of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle as they extend to the midline linea alba. The lower third of the aponeurosis does not split but joins the aponeuroses of the external abdominal oblique and transversus abdominis muscles to form the anterior wall of the sheath of the rectus abdominis muscle. The fibres of the portion of the aponeurosis contributing to the rectus sheath decussate with those of the contralateral aponeurosis in the linea alba. The lowermost portion of the aponeurosis blends with the aponeurosis of the transversus abdominis muscle to form the conjoint tendon, attaching to the pubic crest and often the pecten pubis, thus forming the posterior wall of the inguinal canal at the superficial inguinal ring. See: cremasteric fascia, conjoint tendon, rectus sheath. (05 Mar 2000) |
| appendicular muscle | <anatomy> One of the skeletal muscle's of the limbs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articularis cubiti muscle | <anatomy> The name applied to a small slip of the medial head of the triceps that inserts into the capsule of the elbow joint. Synonym: musculus articularis cubiti, articular muscle of elbow, subanconeus muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
