| greater psoas muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, bodies of vertebrae and intervertebral disks from the twelfth thoracic to the fifth lumbar, and transverse processes of the lumbar vertebrae; insertion, forms a common insertion with iliacus muscle into lesser trochanter of femur; action, flexes hip joint; nerve supply, lumbar plexus (ventral rami of first, second and usually third lumbar spinal nerves). Synonym: musculus psoas major, greater psoas muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater rhomboid muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, spinous processes and corresponding supraspinous ligaments of first four thoracic vertebrae; insertion, medial border of scapula below spine; action, draws scapula toward vertebral column; nerve supply, dorsal of scapula nerve. Synonym: musculus rhomboideus major, greater rhomboid muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| greater zygomatic muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, zygomatic bone anterior to temporozygomatic suture; insertion, muscles at angle of mouth; action, draws upper lip upward and laterally; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus zygomaticus major, greater zygomatic muscle, musculus zygomaticus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| groove for tendon of peroneus longus muscle | <anatomy> The groove below the peroneal trochlea of the calcaneus, the groove distal to the tuberosity of the cuboid bone. Synonym: sulcus tendinis musculi peronei longi, sulcus tendinis musculi fibularis longi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Riolan's muscle | <anatomy> Marginal fibres of the palpebral part of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Synonym: cremaster muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chondroglossus muscle | <anatomy> Muscular fibres from lesser horn of hyoid bone occasionally separated from the hyoglossus, but usually forming part of it. Synonym: musculus chondroglossus, ceratoglossus, keratoglossus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Guthrie's muscle | Origin, ramus of pubis; insertion, with fellow in median raphe behind and in front of urethra; action, constricts membranous urethra; nerve supply, pudendal. Synonym: musculus sphincter urethrae, external urethral sphincter, Guthrie's muscle, musculus compressor urethrae, musculus constrictor urethrae, musculus sphincter urethrae membranaceae, sphincter muscle of urethra, Wilson's muscle.

| round pronator muscle | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, superficial (humeral) head (ulnar) from the common flexor origin on the medial epicondyle of the humerus, deep (ulnar) head from the medial side of the coronoid process of the ulna; insertion, middle of the lateral surface of the radius; action, pronates forearm; nerve supply, median. Synonym: musculus pronator teres, musculus pronator radii teres, round pronator muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ciliary muscle | <anatomy> The smooth muscle of the ciliary body; it consists of circular fibres (Muller's muscle) and radiating fibres (meridional fibres, or Brucke's muscle); action, in contracting, its diameter is reduced (like a sphincter), reducing tensile (stretching) forces on lens, allowing it to thicken for near vision (accommodation).
