Facial Expression and Head Flashcards
Occipitofrontalis
Occipitalis:
occiptal and temporal –> galea aponeurotica
Frontalis
galea aponeurotica –> fascia and skin of eyes and nose
A: Occipitalis - draws scalp posteriorly
Frontalis – draws scalp anteriorly; raises eyebrows and skin over nose and eyes
N: Facial Nerve (CN VII)
Art: Occipital, posterior auricular, opthalmic
surprise, shock, horror, fright, recognition
Temporoparietalis
O: galea aponeurotica I: fascia superior to the ear A: elevates ear N: Facial (CN VII) Art: Superficial temporal and posterior auricular
Auricular: Anterior
O: galea aponeurotical and anterior temporal
I: anterior ear
A: draws ear anteriorly
N: Facial (CN VII)
Art: Superficial temporal and posterior auricular
Auricular: Superior
O: galea aponeurotica and superior temporal
I: superior ear
A: draws ear superiorly
N: Facial (CN VII)
Art: Superficial temporal and posterior auricular
Auricular: Posterior:
O: posterior temporal I: posterior ear A: draws ear posteriorly N: Facial (CN VII) Art: Superficial temporal and posterior auricular
Orbicularis oculi
Three parts: Orbital, Palpebral and lacrimal
Form an oval sphincter encircling the eye
Frontal bone, maxilla and lacrimal bones
A: closes and squints the eye
N: Facial (CN VII)
Art: facial and superficial temporal artery (Branches of external carotid)
Corrugator supercilli
O: inferior frontal bone I: fascia of medial eyebrow A: draws eyebrows inferiorly and medially (squints) N: facial (CN VII) Art: opthalmic
Levator Palpebrae Superioris
O: spheniod (anterior surface of lesser wing) I: Tissue of upper eyelid A: Elevates upper eyelid N: Occulomotor (CN III) Art: opthalmic
Procerus
O: fascia and skin of nasal bone
I: fascia and skin of medial eyebrows
A: draws medial eyebrows inferiorly (squints) and wrinkles skin of nose upwards
N: facial (CN VII)
A: Facial artery (branch of external carotid)
Nasalis
Transverse:
maxilla lateral to nose –> opposite side nasals of upper cartilage
==> constricts nostrils
Alar
maxilla at nostrils –> alar cartilage of nose
==> flares nostrils
Nerve: facial (CN VII)
Artery: Facial artery ( branch of external carotid)
Depressor septi nasi
O: incisive fossa of maxilla
I: cartilage and septum of nose
A: constricts nostrils (by pulling septum down)
N: facial nerve (CN VII)
Art: facial artery (branch of external carotid)
Levator labii superioris aleque nasi
O: maxilla (frontal process)
I: lateral part of upper lip, cartilage of nose
A: flares nostrils and elevates upper lip
N: facial (CN VII)
Art: infraorbital artery (branch of maxillary)
anger, smile, smug, contempt, distain
Levator labii superioris
O: Maxilla (inferior orbital margin) I: lateral part of upper lip A: elevates upper lip N: Facial (CN VII) Art: facial artery (branch of external carotid)
smile smug contempt distain
Levator anguli oris
O: Maxilla (canine fossa) I: Angle of the mouth/modiolus A: elevates angle of the mouth N: facial (CN VII) Art: facial artery (branch of external carotid)
smile, sneer, vampire
Zygomaticus minor
O: zygomatic bone (close to zygomatico-maxillary suture)
I: upper lip
A: elevates upper lip
N: facial (CN VII)
Art: facial artery (branch of the external carotid)
smile smug distain contempt
