A

atto open or close the mouth

22
Q

what are the 4 muscles of mastication

A

lateral and medial pterygoids, masseter and temporalis

23
Q

what do the pterygoids do?

what does the temporalis do?

A

elevates the jaw to close it

27
Q

how do you test the temporalis

A

palpate a clenched jaw

28
Q

how do you test the masseter

A

ask to clench teeth

29
Q

how do you test the pterygoids

A

get the patient to open their mouth against resistance

30

where is the platysma found

A

embedded in the superficial cervical fascia

31
Q

what does the platysma do

A

tenses neck, assits in jaw depression, mouth depression

32
Q

how do you test for platysma

A

ask patient to tense their neck

33
Q

what does the oribcularis oculi do

A

close the eye

34
Q

which branches innervate the orbicularis oculi

A

temporal and zygomatic branches

35
Q

how do you test the orbacularis oculi

A

ask the patient to close eyes tight against resistance

36
Q

what does the buccinator do

A

flattens the cheek to help chewing

37
Q

what branch supplies the buccinator

A

buccal branch

38
Q

how do you test the action of buccinator

A

blowing out cheeks and resisting expulsion of air

39
Q

what does orbicularis oris do

A

closes the mouth

40
Q

which branch supplies orbicularis oris

A

buccal branch

41
Q

howdy you test the action of orbicularis oris

A

look for the mouth drooping

Q

what does occipitofrontalis do

A

raises the eyebrows

43
Q

where does the sternocleidomastoid originate and attach

A

originates from the sternum and clavicle and attaches to the mastoid process

44
Q

what does the sternocleidomastoid do

A

lateral flexion giving contralateral neck tilting
