Face Muscles Flashcards
O: Occipitofrontalis
occipital belly - lateral 2/3 of superior nuchal line on occipital bone and mastoid part of temporal bone; frontal belly - fibers continuous with those of procerus medially and orbicularis oculi laterally
I: Occipitofrontalis
galea aponeurotica
A: Occipitofrontalis
draws scalp back, raises eye brows and wrinkles forehead in expression of surprise
N: Occipitofrontalis
occipital belly - posterior auricular branch of the facial nerve (VII); frontal belly - temporal branch of the facial nerve (VII)
B: Occipitofrontalis
occipital artery
O: Depressor Anguli Oris
from oblique line of the mandible, lateral and below depressor labii inferioris
I: Depressor Anguli Oris
into the angle of the mouth blending with orbicularis oris and risorius
A: Depressor Anguli Oris
draws angle of mouth down and laterally as in expression of sadness
N: Depressor Anguli Oris
mandibular branch of facial nerve (VII)
B: Depressor Anguli Oris
facial artery
O: Levator Labii Superioris
along lower part of orbit from maxilla and zygomatic bones
I: Levator Labii Superioris
upper lip between levators anguli oris and labii superioris alaeque nasi
A: Levator Labii Superioris
raises the upper lip and carries it forward
N: Levator Labii Superioris
buccal branch of facial nerve (VII)
B: Levator Labii Superioris
facial artery
O: Zygomaticus Major
from the zygomatic bone in front of the zygomaticotemporal suture
I: Zygomaticus Major
into angle of mouth with levator and depressor anguli oris and orbicularis oris muscles
A: Zygomaticus Major
draws the angle of the mouth upward and backward as in laughing
N: Zygomaticus Major
buccal branch of facial nerve (VII)
B: Zygomaticus Major
facial artery
O: Zygomaticus Minor
lateral surface of the zygomatic bone
I: Zygomaticus Minor
upper lip between levator labii superioris and zygomaticus major
A: Zygomaticus Minor
elevates the upper lip and helps form the nasolabial furrow
N: Zygomaticus Minor
buccal branch of the facial nerve (VII)
B: Zygomaticus Minor
facial artery
O: Orbicularis Oris
fibers derived from other facial muscles (buccinator, levators, and depressors of lips and angles, zygomatic muscles) pass into lips; also some intrinsic muscle fibers make up orbicularis oris
I: Orbicularis Oris
several strata of muscle fibers form a sphincter-like muscle with fibers that decussate at the angles of the mouth
A: Orbicularis Oris
closes the lips; and its deep fibers can press the lips against the teeth, also it protrudes the lips and is important in speech
N: Orbicularis Oris
buccal branch of the facial nerve (VII)
B: Orbicularis Oris
facial artery
