The eminentia conchae is crossed by a vertical ridge, the ponticulus, which gives attachment to the Auricularis posterior muscle.

There are two groups, the anterior axioappendicular muscles and the posterior axioappendicular muscles.

The posterior axioappendicular muscles are described as two sub-groups:

Of the posterior muscles three are in the superficial layer.

The contractions recorded in posterior muscles were almost five times stronger than those in the anterior region behind the head.

As men age, he said, they lose posterior muscle, which makes them prone to soreness.

The posterior labral muscles which run from the tormal sclerites of the labrum to the wall of the head.

The bent-over row, performed with a barbell or dumbbells, is a multi-joint movement that's great for stimulating the posterior muscles of the back.

The anterior and posterior papillary muscles of the left ventricle attach via chordae tendineae to the mitral valve.

Muscles that arise from the arch are those involved with facial expression and the posterior digastric muscle.
