List the muscles that act on the mandible to open the mouth and those that act on the mandible to close the mouth. Which set of muscles is more forceful? Why?
Masseter, temporalis, and medial pterygoid close the mouth. Lateral pterygoid, digastric, mylohyoid, and geniohyoid open the mouth. Closing the mouth is more forceful. Masseter and temporalis are large, powerful muscles whose main action is to elevate the mandible. All muscles that act to depress the mandible have other primary actions.

Explain why an astronaut "must work hard to open their mouths" while in space but an elderly person asleep in a chair, for example, has their mouth open.
The force of gravity is at work on the sleeping elderly person to open the mouth as the masseter, temporalis and medial pteygoid muscles (which close the mouth) are relaxed. The astronaut, however, is in a zero gravity environment and without the assistance of gravity needs to make an additional effort to open the mouth.

Using the terms prime mover, antagonist, synergist, and fixator, describe the various roles muscles may play in a group.
Within opposing muscle pairs, one muscle, called the prime mover, contracts to cause an action while the other muscle, the antagonist, stretches and yields to the effects of the prime mover. For example, flexing the forearm at the elbow involves the biceps brachii as the prime mover and the triceps brachii as the antagonist. Synergists prevent unwanted movements at intermediate joints or otherwise aid the movement of the prime mover. For example, contraction of the wrist extensor muscles stabilizes the wrist joint and prevents unwanted movement, while the flexor muscles of the fingers contract to flex the fingers. Fixators stabilize the origin of the prime mover so the prime mover can act more efficiently. For example, in abduction of the arm, the deltoid muscle serves as the prime mover, and fixators include pectoralis minor, trapezius, subclavius, serratus anterior muscles, and others which hold the scapula in place.
