| abdominal muscles | A large group of muscles in the front of the abdomen that assists in the regular breathing movement and supports the muscles of the spine while lifting and keeping abdominal organs such as the intestines in place. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antagonistic muscles | Those having an opposite function, the contraction of one having the potential, in theory, to "neutralise" that of the other. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cervical intertransversarii muscles | Origin, anterior tubercle of cervical transverse process; insertion, anterior tubercle of next superior transverse process; action, abducts cervical vertebrae; nerve supply, ventral branch of cervical nerves. Synonym: musculi intertransversarii anteriores cervicis, anterior cervical intertransverse muscles. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anterior cervical intertransverse muscles | Origin, anterior tubercle of cervical transverse process; insertion, anterior tubercle of next superior transverse process; action, abducts cervical vertebrae; nerve supply, ventral branch of cervical nerves.

| arrector pili muscles | Bundles of smooth muscle fibres, attached to the deep part of the hair follicles, passing outward alongside the sebaceous glands to the papillary layer of the corium; they act to pull the hairs erect, causing "goose bumps" or "goose flesh" (cutis anserina). Synonym: musculi arrectores pilorum, arrectores pilorum, erector muscles of hairs. (05 Mar 2000) |

| papillary muscles | Conical muscular projections from the walls of the cardiac ventricles, attached to the cusps of the atrioventricular valves by the chordae tendineae. (12 Dec 1998) |
| masticatory muscles | Muscles arising in the zygomatic arch that close the jaw. Their nerve supply is masseteric from the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve. (12 Dec 1998) |
| Reisseisen's muscles | Microscopic smooth muscle fibres in the smallest bronchial tubes. (05 Mar 2000) |
