Stylomastoid Foramen
Where does the facial nerve go after leaving the skull ?
enters the parotid gland
What are the 5 branches of the facial nerve and what do they do ?
motor to the muscles of facial expression and some suprahyoid muscles Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Mandibular Cervical
What are common features of the Muscles of facial expression ?
All innervated by the facial nerve
common embryological origin - 2nd Pharyngeal arch
originate from bine and insert into the skin
What do the muscles of facial expression act as ?
sphinctors and dliators
round the facial orifices
What are the 3 parts of Obicularis Oculi ?
orbital part
Palperabal Part
Lacrimal Part
What is the origin and insertion of the Orbital part ?
originates from the medial orbital margin
Inserts into the skin around the orbit
What is the origin and insertion of the Palperabal part >
Originates from the Medial palperabal ligament and inserts into the eyelids
What is the origin and insertion of the lacrimal part ?
originates from the lacrimal bone
inserts into the medial aspect of the eye lids
What is the innervation of Obicularis Oculi ?
Facial nerve - T and Z branches
What is the action of the orbital part ?
forcefully closes the eyelids
What is the action of the palperabal part ?
gently closes the eyelids
What is the role of the lacrimal part ?
tears
What is the role of obicularis oculi ?
it is a sphincter that controls the opening and closing of the orbital orifice
What is the origin and insertion of Procerus ?
originates from the fascia over the dorsum of the nose
inserts into the skin over the Glabella
What is the innervation of Procerus ?
facial nerve - T andZ branches
What is the action of procerus ?
contraction produces wrinkling over the bridge of the nose
What is the origin and insertion of Frontalis ?
