Innervation: Facial N
Depressor Labii Inferioris
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Mandible (anterior portion of oblique line)
I: Lower lip at midline; blends with muscles from opposite side (contralateral depressor labii inferioris and the orbicularis oris)
A: Pulls lower lip inferiorly and laterally
Innervation: Facial N
Mentalis
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Mandible (incisive fossa)

Innervation: Facial N
Depressor Anguli Oris
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Mandible (oblique line below canine, premolar and first molar teeth)

Innervation: Facial N
Nasalis
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Maxilla (superior region of canine ridge)
I: Nasal cartilages
A: Flares nostrils by drawing ala (side) of nose toward nasal septum
Innervation: Facial N
What are the two bellies of the Occipitofrontalis muscle?

- Occipital Belly
Occipitofrontalis - Occipital Belly
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Lateral 2/3rds of superior nuchal line
I: Epicranial aponeurosis

Innervation: Facial N
Corrugator Supercilii
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Medial end of superciliary arch
I: Skin superior to middle of supra-orbital margin and superciliary arch

Innervation: Facial N
Risorius
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Fascia over masseter muscle

Buccinator
O:
I:
A:
Innervation:
O: Mandible, alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible, pterygomandibular raphe
I: Angle of mouth, orbicularis oris
A: Presses cheek against molar teeth, working with tongue to keep food between occlusal surfaces and out of oral vestibule; expels air from oral cavity/resists distention when blowing; unilateral: draws mouth to one side
Innervation: Facial N
