Lectures 7, 8 & 9 Face, scalp, parotid, facial nerve (CN VII) Flashcards
Muscles of facial expression are _________ structures (ie they form part of the skin.
cutaneous
T/F - Facial expression muscles usually originate in one or more of the bones of the skull (usually) and insert into deep skin.
True
T/F - Every facial muscle of expression is paired.
False, they’re all paired except for orbicularis oris
What are the muscles of the forehead?
Frontal belly of occipitofrontalis
Corregator supercilii
T/F - Corregator supercilii is superficial to orbicularis oris and frontalis
False, it is deep.
Occipitofrontalis consists of ___________ & _____ bellies separated by a single flat fibrous sheet - ________.
frontal, occipital, epicranial aponeurosis.
What is/are the muscle(s) of the eye?
orbicularis oculi (circles eye).
Function of orbicularis oris?
Closes eye, directs tear flow (paralysis prevents eye closure leading to dry cornea. lower eyelid falls down and tears run out and dirt in).
T/F - levator palbebrae superioris elevates/opens upper eyelid
True
Muscles of nose?
procerus, nasalis, levator labii superioris alaque nasi - nasal/alar head.
What are the seven muscles joining into modiolis?
zygomaticus major levator anguli oris buccinator platysma depressor anguli oris orbicularis oris risorius
_______ - fibromuscular structure extending from skin to mucosa - anchoring point for muscles which move corners of mouth and adjacent structures
Modiolis
________ - zygomer just in front of zygomaticotemporal suture to modiolis, elevates corner of mouth (may be bifid resulting in cheek dimple
Zygomaticus major
________ - origin - maxilla just below infraorbital foramen to modiolis (deep to facial vein and z. minor). elevates corner of mouth
levator anguli oris
________ - origin - outer surfaces of maxilla and mandible (over molars) and pterygomandibular raphe to attach to modiolis. Draw in/position cheeks, direct food over molars
Buccinator
_______ - origins - body of mandible, modiolis and modiolar muscles to skin over pectoralis. Function slight but can depress lower lip and corners of mouth.
Platysma
__________ - origin - mandible to modiolis - corners of mouth down
Depressor anguli oris
__________ - sphincter of mouth, modiolis to modiolis - other muscles e.g. buccinator converge to it. No direct bony attachments, but some of the fibres of ______ are derived from buccinator. Reinforced by small muscles.
Orbicularis oris, orbicularis oris.
________ - variable in development, origins also variable zygomatic arch parotid fascia to modiolis, moves corner of mouth
Risorius
__________ (deep) -origin - maxilla and zygomer just above infraorbital foramen to upper lip. Raises upper lip
levator labii superioris
________________ - origin - frontal process of maxilla - raises upper lip, dilates nostril.
Levator labii superioris alaque nasi
__________ - origin - zygomer just behind zygomaticomaxillary suture to upper lip. Raises upper lip
zygomaticus minor
__________ - situated medial to depressor anguli oris - origin - mandible, lower lip down.
depressor labii inferioris
_______ - origin - mental symphysis to mid lower lip. Raises base of lower lip - protrusion and eversion.
Mentalis
