Muscles of the scalp
move the scalp, ears, and eyebrows
Occipitalis, frontalis
Muscles of facial expression
muscles of the eyes, nose, and mouth, to move the fascia/skin of the face
occipitalis, frontalis,
Muscles of mastication
move the mandible
temporalis, masseter
Temporalis
Ori: temporal fossa
Ins: coronoid process and anterior border of the ramus of the mandible
Fun: mastication
Masseter
Ori: zygomatic arch
Ins: angle and ramus of mandible
Fun: mastication
Occipitofrontalis (occipitalis)
Ori: superior nuchal line of occipital bone, mastoid process of temporal bone
Ins: galea aponeurotica
Fun: raise eyebrows
Occipitofrontalis (frontalis)
Ori: galea aponeurotica
Ins: Fascia and skin superior to the eye and the nose

Ins: angle of the mouth
Fun: natural smile
Risorius
Ori: facia over the parotid gland

Fun: retracts mouth laterally for fake smile
Buccinator
Ori: the outer surfaces of the alveolar processes of the maxilla and mandible

Fun: compresses cheek against teeth
Platysma
Ori: the fascia covering the upper parts of the pectoralis major and deltoid
Ins: mandible and subcutaneous fascia of the lower face
Fun: depression of the mandible (or lower lip), draws up the skin of the superior chest + neck, creating ridges of skin of the neck
