Depressor septi nasi
Muscles in the oral group
Orbicularis oris
Buccinator muscle
Upper group of muscles
Lower group of muscles
Muscles of the UPPER GROUP of ORAL
Risorius Zygomaticus MAJOR & MINOR Levator labii superioris Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi Levator anguli oris
Muscles of LOWER GROUP of ORAL
Mentalis
Depressor labii inferioris
Depressor anguli oris
A large muscle that completely surrounds each orbital orifice and extends into each eyelid
Orbicularis oculi
Major action of orbicularis oculi
Closes the eyelids
2 parts of orbicularis oculi
Outer orbital part
Inner palpebral part
A broad ring that encircles the orbital and extends beyond the orbital rim
Outer orbital part
Closes the eyelid more FORCEFULLY and produce some wrinkling on the face
Outer orbital part
In the eyelids
Consists of muscle fibers in the MEDIAL CORNER OF THE EYE that arch across each lid to attach laterally
Inner palpebral part
Closes the eye GENTLY
Inner palpebral part
Second muscle in the orbital group which is deep to the eyebrows and the orbicularis oculi muscle
Corrugator supercilii
Muscle active when FROWNING
Corrugator supercilii
Corrugator supercilii
Origin:
Insertion:
Action:
Origin: Medial end of the superciliary arch
Insertion: skin of the medial half of the eyebrows
Action: draws the eyebrows towards the midline (causing VERTICAL WRINKLES above the nose)
