Levator

Levator - any muscle that lifts the bone to which it is attached; for example, the levator scapulis muscle lifts the superior angle of the scapula.

Levators are a group of muscles whose main function is to lift the skeletal bones to which they are attached. The name "levator" comes from the Latin word "levare", which means "to raise".

The most famous levators:

  1. Levator of the upper lip - raises the upper lip.

  2. Levator soft palate - raises the soft palate.

  3. Levator of the corner of the mouth - raises the corner of the mouth.

  4. Levator scapula - elevates the scapula.

  5. Rib levators - are involved in raising the ribs during inspiration.

Levators play an important role in the movement of the head, neck, and chest. Violation of their function can lead to limited mobility and other problems.



Levators play an important role in the movement of humans and animals. They help raise and lower the limbs, as well as participate in other body movements.

One example of a levator muscle is the Ievator cubitus muscle, which attaches to the superior angle of the scapula and elevates the shoulder. There are also many other levators that help with various movements.

In addition, levators can be used to treat various diseases and injuries. For example, if the muscles that help lift bones are damaged, the levator muscle can be used to restore function.

Overall, the levators are important muscles for humans and animals, and their functions cannot be replaced by any other muscles.
