| muscle tension headache | A benign form of headache that results from the painful spasm (muscle tightness) and inflammation of muscles of the head and neck. Tension headache is one of the most common forms of headache. Spasm and contraction of the head and neck muscles may occur in response to fatigue, overuse, eye strain, excessive smoking, stress, anxiety or depression. Sleeping in an abnormal position or prolonged work involving immobilisation of the neck in one position (typing, computers, etc.) are considered common triggers. Exercising and stretching the muscles of the head and neck can reduce the occurrence of muscle tension headaches. (27 Sep 1997) |

| muscle tonus | The state of activity or tension of a muscle beyond that related to its physical properties, that is, its active resistance to stretch. In skeletal muscle, tonus is dependent upon efferent innervation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| muscle-trimming | The shaping of an impression material by the manipulation or action of the tissues adjacent to the borders of an impression. Synonym: muscle-trimming, tissue molding, tissue-trimming. (05 Mar 2000) |
| muscle weakness | A vague complaint of debility, fatigue, or exhaustion attributable to weakness of various muscles. The weakness can be characterised as subacute or chronic, often progressive, and is a manifestation of many muscle and neuromuscular diseases. (12 Dec 1998) |
| muscular fascia of extraocular muscle | Muscular fascia; the part of the orbital fascia that envelops the extraocular muscles; it is thin posteriorly but becomes thicker where it is continuous with the bulbar sheath; the fascial sheaths of the four rectus muscles are connected by an intermuscular membrane. Synonym: fascia muscularis musculorum bulbi, fascia of extraocular muscles, muscular fascia of extraocular muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| coracobrachial muscle | <anatomy> Relating to the coracoid process of the scapula and the arm. <muscle> Origin, coracoid process of scapula; insertion, middle of medial border of humerus; action, adducts and flexes the arm; resists downward dislocation of shoulder joint; nerve supply, musculocutaneous. See: coracobrachial bursa. Synonym: musculus coracobrachialis, Casser's perforated muscle, coracobrachial muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrugator cutis muscle of anus | Smooth muscle fibres radiating from the anal opening superficial to the external sphincter. Synonym: musculus corrugator cutis ani. (05 Mar 2000) |
| corrugator muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, from orbital portion of musculus orbicularis oculi and nasal prominence; insertion, skin of eyebrow; action, draws medial end of eyebrow downward and wrinkles forehead vertically; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus corrugator supercilii, Coiter's muscle, corrugator muscle, wrinkler muscle of eyebrow. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cowl muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, medial third of superior nuchal line, external occipital protuberance, ligamentum nuchae, spinous processes of seventh cervical and the thoracic vertebrae and corresponding supraspinous ligaments; insertion, lateral third of posterior surface of clavicle, anterior side of acromion, and upper and medial border of the spine of the scapula; action, when scapulae are fixed, portions of muscle can act independently: cervical portion elevates scapula, thoracic portion contributes to depression of scapula; upper and lowermost portions act simultaneously to rotate glenoid fossa superiorly; when the entire muscle and especially middle part contracts, the scapulae retract; draws head to one side or backward; nerve supply, motor by accessory, sensory by cervical plexus. Synonym: musculus trapezius, cowl muscle, trapezius. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Crampton's muscle | <anatomy> The part of the ciliary muscle formed by the meridional fibres. Synonym: Crampton's muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| popliteal muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, lateral condyle of femur; insertion, posterior surface of tibia above oblique line; action, from the fully extended and "locked" position, rotates the femur medially, on the fixed (planted) tibial plateau about 5 |
| cricopharyngeus muscle | <anatomy, muscle> This is the horizontal muscle located at the top of the oesophagus. (13 Nov 1997) |
| posterior auricular muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, mastoid process; insertion, posterior portion of root of auricle; action, draws back the pinna; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus auricularis posterior, musculus retrahens aurem, musculus retrahens auriculam. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior belly of digastric muscle | <anatomy> Portion of digastric muscle posterior to the intermediate tendon, attaching to the digastric groove of the temporal bone. Synonym: venter posterior musculi digastrici. (05 Mar 2000) |
| posterior cricoarytenoid muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, depression on posterior surface of lamina of cricoid; insertion, muscular process of arytenoid; action, abducts vocal folds, widening rima glottidis as for taking a breath; nerve supply, recurrent laryngeal. Synonym: musculus cricoarytenoideus posterior. (05 Mar 2000) |
