"Cleidomastoid" Meaning
The cleidomastoid muscle is a muscle of the neck that connects the collarbone to the skull. It is responsible for rotating the head, flexing the neck, and moving the lower jaw. The name "cleidomastoid" comes from the Greek words "kleis" meaning "key" and "mastos" meaning "breast", referring to its attachments to the collarbone (clavicle) and the mastoid process of the temporal bone in the skull.
