Synonym: musculus levator ani, elevator muscle of anus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus levator costae | musculus levator costae, elevator muscle of rib, musculi levatores costarum |
| musculus levator glandulae thyroideae | A fasciculus occasionally passing from the thyrohyoid muscle to the isthmus of the thyroid gland. Synonym: musculus levator glandulae thyroideae, elevator muscle of thyroid gland, Soemmerring's muscle. (05 Mar 2000) |
| musculus levator labii inferioris | <anatomy, muscle> Origin, incisor fossa of mandible; insertion, skin of chin; action, raises and wrinkles skin of chin, thus elevating the lower lip; nerve supply, facial. Synonym: musculus mentalis, chin muscle, musculus levator labii inferioris. (05 Mar 2000) |
