what is the function of the branchiomeric muscles?
243674
The branchiomeric muscle is derived from cranial mesoderm and controls facial expression, pharyngeal and laryngeal function, operating the jaw. The muscle begins its development with the differentiation of the muscle cells and ends with the mature muscle.

The posterior deltoid actually acts more like a back muscle. It has three main functions. It's the primary horizontal abductor (reverse fly motion) of the shoulder, and it also assists in external rotation and extension of the humerus (upper arm bone).

The branched nature of cells and gap junctions allows rapid propagation of action potentials across the entire myocardium; this enables the heart to contract and relax as a single unit (functional syncytium). Unlike the skeletal muscle, the cardiac muscle is controlled by the autonomic nervous system.

The muscular system's main function is to allow movement. When muscles contract, they contribute to gross and fine movement.

The blood supply to the tibialis anterior muscle comes primarily from the anterior tibial artery and its branches. In general, muscles of this compartment help to flex the foot in an upward direction at the ankle and also extend the toes.

The primary function of the ventricular folds is to assist in the regulation of intra-abdominal and intrathoracic pressure. They also influence phonation in the setting of vocal fold paralysis or ventricular dysphonia, or after partial laryngectomy.

Skeletal muscles maintain posture, stabilize bones and joints, control internal movement, and generate heat. Skeletal muscle fibers are long, multinucleated cells. The membrane of the cell is the sarcolemma; the cytoplasm of the cell is the sarcoplasm.

Function. Primary functions of the biceps brachii is flexion of the elbow and supination of the forearm. In fact, it is the prime mover of forearm supination. Since it crosses the gleno-humeral joint, it also serves to assist shoulder elevation.

The core muscles have two main functions 1) to spare the spine from excessive load and 2) to transfer force from the lower body to the upper body and vice versa. Having a strong, stable core helps us to prevent injuries and allows us to perform at our best.

A double-domed (right and left dome) sheet of skeletal muscle, located at the inferior most aspect of the rib cage. what functions does the diaphragm serve? 2. Undergoes contraction and relaxation, altering the volume of the thoracic cavity and the lungs, producing inspiration and expiration.

Function. The primary actions of this muscle include the stabilization, depression, abduction or protraction, internal rotation and downward rotation of the scapula. It elevates the ribs for deep inspiration when the pectoral girdle is fixed or elevated.

The pharyngeal arches (branchial arch, Greek, branchial = gill) are a series of externally visible anterior tissue bands lying under the early brain that give rise to the structures of the head and neck. ... Both the endocrine organs thymus and parathyroid have developmental origins from the pharyngeal pouches.

Skeletal muscles maintain posture, stabilize bones and joints, control internal movement, and generate heat. Skeletal muscle fibers are long, multinucleated cells.

The muscular system is composed of specialized cells called muscle fibers. Their predominant function is contractibility. Muscles, attached to bones or internal organs and blood vessels, are responsible for movement. Nearly all movement in the body is the result of muscle contraction.
