splenius capitis
" head " extends head
T or F A synergist is a muscle whose action is opposite that of an agonist.
False - A synergist aids an agonist in its function; it does not oppose the agonist.
T or F The biceps brachii is a bipennate muscle.
False. Biceps brachii is considered a fusiform muscle.
T or F Each skeletal muscle is innervated by at least one spinal nerve.
False. Many skeletal muscles are innervated by cranial nerves.
T or F One must contract the internal intercostal muscles in order to exhale.
False. Normally, no muscular effort is needed to exhale.
T or F The following intrinsic hand muscles are listed in order from strongest to weakest: abductor digiti minimi, adductor pollicis, dorsal interosseous.
False. The adductor pollicis is by far the strongest of the 3 listed muslces ( important in the strength of the hand grip,) but is not listed first.
T or F Each skeletal muscle fiber is enclosed in a perimysium that separates it from adjacent fibers.
False. The connective tissue that encloses individual muscle fibers is endomysium.
T or F Severing the large trigeminal nerve would paralyze more facial muscles than severing the facial nerve.
False. The facial nerve innervates 16 of the facial muscles tabulated in the chapter. The trigeminal innervates 6 tabulated muscles, but they are muscles of chewing and swallowing, not facial expression.
T or F In climbing stairs, the hamstrings provide much of the thrust that lifts the body to each higher step.
False. The hamstrings flex the knee and therefore would not aid in lifting the body to the next step.
T or F The orbicularis oculi is a sphincter.
False. The orbicularis was once thought to be a sphincter but is no longer interpreted as such.
T or F The tibial anterior and tibialis posterior are synergists.
False. They are on opposite sides of the tibia and act as antagonists.
