(semimembranosus), bipennate (rectus femoris), and multipennate (deltoid)
Fusiform muscles Right Ans - fascicles lie parallel to the long axis of the
muscle. The belly of the muscle is larger in diameter than the ends; ex: biceps
brachii (two-headed) triceps brachii (three-headed)

rectus capitis posterior Right Ans - insertion: occipital bone
function: extends and rotates neck; turns head
semispinalis capitis Right Ans - insertion: occipital bone
function: extends, rotates, and laterally flexes neck
trapezius Right Ans - insertion: clavicle, acromion process and scapular

function: extends and laterally flexes neck
splenius capitis Right Ans - insertion: superior nuchal line and mastoid
process
function: extends, rotates, and laterally flexes neck
lateral muscles of the neck Right Ans - sternocleidomastoid, scalene
muscles
sternocleidomastoid Right Ans - insertion: mastoid process and superior
nuchal line
