1 answer
The antagonist of the masseter muscle is the digastric muscle. It helps to open the jaw by working against the masseter muscle during swallowing and speaking.

Is located under the jaw,it lies below the body of mandible, and extend in a curve form, from the Mastoid Process to the Symphysis Menti.Belongs to the Suprahyiod muscle group and helps activate the jaw for mastication and swallowing.

When you yawn, the muscle responsible for opening your mouth (digastric muscle) can also activate some of the muscles in your hand as they are all controlled by the same cranial nerve, the trigeminal nerve. This phenomenon is known as referred motor activity.

Gravity plays a large part in opening the jaw, but there are muscles that help forcefully open your jaw. The most important of these is the digastric muscle, which connects from the mastoid process of the temporal bone to the hyoid bone, and then from the hyoid bone to the digastric fossa of the mandible.

A muscle can be named based on a variaty of things: * Its origins and insertions, eg. the sternomastoid muscle has attachments at the sternum and the mastoid process of the skull. It may also be referred to as "sternocleidomastoid" in reference to its articulation with the clavicle. * Its action, eg. the levator scapulae muscle acts to raise ("levator") the shoulder blade ("scapulae") * Qualities of the muscle itself, eg. the digastric muscle is named for its two muscle masses/bellies. "Di-" referring to "two" and "-gastric" referring to "belly" * Historical/social reasons for naming, eg. the sartorius muscle's name literally means "tailor" and was so named because this muscle was particularly defined in these workers. This was because they often sat with one leg crossed over the other as they worked.

1 answer
One type of muscle is called smooth muscle. A smooth muscle works involuntarily. The other type of muscle is called skeletal muscle. Skeletal muscle only works with a command.
1 answer
tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect muscle to muscle
1 answer
Cardiac muscle.
1 answer
There is none. The only type of non-striated muscle is smooth muscle and smooth muscle is involuntary muscle.

After you work out, you rip muscle tissue and your body builds the muscle back. Thus, forming muscle on top of muscle.

There is nothing really called 'cardiac smooth muscle'. Cardiac muscle is striated like skeletal muscle but it is not under your control like skeletal muscle is. It acts more like smooth muscle because of this reason. But we only use the terms smooth muscle, striated (skeletal) muscle or cardiac muscle.
