    Uploaded by

    Sofia Gandia
    The document summarizes the muscles of the head and neck, trunk, and upper extremities in tables. In the head and neck, muscles such as the frontalis raise the eyebrows and wrinkle the forehead. The masseter and temporalis elevate and close the jaw. In the trunk, muscles like the internal and external obliques compress the abdomen. The pectoralis major controls arm movement and adducts the arm. For the upper extremities, the deltoid abducts the arm and flexes and extends the shoulders, while the extensor digitorum extends the fingers.
