Although the name "bucinator" is not derived from "bucca", this muscle is also called "musculus buccae" or "musculus buccalis" in Latin and muscle of the cheek in English. The most recent official Latin anatomic nomenclature ("Terminologia Anatomica"), and preceding editions ("Nomina Anatomica") Buccinator muscle The buccinator ( ) is a thin
Effect of spaceflight on the human body for the astronauts. These joint torques and muscle forces could be used in conjunction with more fundamental computational simulations of bone remodeling and muscle adaptation in order to more completely model the end effects of such countermeasures, and determine whether a proposed exercise regime would be sufficient to sustain astronaut musculoskeletal health. The second effect of weightlessness takes place in human fluids. The body is made up of 60% water, much of it intra-vascular and inter-cellular. Within a few moments of entering a microgravity environment, fluid is immediately re-distributed to the upper body resulting in bulging neck veins, puffy face
