Face Flashcards
Muscles chracteristics
- Many
- Small
- Bony origin from skull
- Inserting into skin of face
- Supplied by facial nerves
- Called muscles of facial expression
Types of muscles
- Circumorbital and palpebral
- Nasal
- Buccolabial
- Oral sphincter
Circumorbital and palpebral muscles
Orbicularis oculi
Nasal muscles
Procerus
Buccolabial muscles
- Buccinator
- Levator labbii superioris
- Zygomaticus major
- Depressor anguli oris
Oral sphincter muscle
Orbicularis oris
Orbicularis oculi parts
- Orbital part: around orbital margin
- Palpebral part: eyelids
- Lacrimal part
Orbital part origin
Upper part medial palpebral ligament with bone above and below it
Orbital part insertion
- Lower border medial palpebral ligament
- Many fibers inserted into eyebrows skin
Orbital part curve
Curves around orbital margin
Palpebral part origin
Medial palpebral ligament
Passes in upper and lower eyelids
Palpebral part insertion
Fibers of both lids insert lateral in lateral palpebral raphe (ligament)
Lacrimal part origin
- Posterior lacrimal crest
- Fascia covering lacrimal sac
Lacrimal part insertion
Blends with palpebral part in eyelids
Orbicularis oculi nerve supply
- Temporal branch of facial nerve
- Zygomatic branch of facial nerve
Orbicularis oculi action
- Orbital part: closes eye firmly and suddenly in danger
- Palpebral part: closes eyes gently in sleep
- Lacrimal part: stretches and dilates lacrimal sac to help in tears drainage
Orbicularis oris parts
- Intrinsic part
- External part
Intrinsic part
Surrounds:
1. Mouth
2. Upper lips
3. Lower lips
Extrinsic part
Extension from surrounding muscles such as buccinator
Orbicularis oris nerve supply
- Buccal branch facial nerve
- Mandibular branch facial nerve
Orbicularis oris action
- Movement of lips and sphincter for closure of mouth
Buccinator
Cheek muscle
Buccinator origin upper fibers
Alveolar process of maxilla, opposite upper 3 molars
Buccinator origin lower fibers
Oblique line of mandible, opposite lower 3 molars
Buccinator origin middle fibers
Ptergoidmandibular ligament
From:
A. Pterygoid hamulus
To
B. Mylohyoid line posterior end
Buccinator insertion
- Upper fibers: upper lip
- Lower fibers: lower lip
- Middle fibers: decussate at mouth angle acting as a sphincter
