Levator

Levator is a noun referring to a muscle or structure that raises a part of the body, especially in anatomical contexts. In anatomy, levator muscles include the levator palpebrae superioris (eyelid elevator) and levator ani (pelvic floor elevating muscle). The term can also appear in broader anatomical discussions as a generic “elevator” muscle. The word is used mainly in scientific or medical language rather than everyday speech.
