Muscles Flashcards
Which nerve are the muscles of Facial Expression innervated by?
Facial nerve (CN VII)
Occipitofrontalis - facts
- 2 bellies: occipital and frontal
joined via the epicranial aponeurosis
Occipitofrontalis - Origin/Insertion
Origin:
Frontal belly - epicranial aponeurosis
Occipital belly - lateral 2/3 of superior nuchal line
Insertion:
Frontal belly - skin and subcutaneous tissue of eyebrows and forehead
Occipital belly - epicranial aponeurosis
Occipitofrontalis - Action
elevates eyebrows, wrinkles skin on forehead, retracts scalp
Orbicularis Oculi - facts
Sphincter shaped muscle
two parts - palpebral par (inner), orbital part (outer)
Orbicularis Oculi - Origin/Insertion
Origin:
medial orbital margin, medial palpebral ligament, lacrimal bone
Insertion:
skin around margin of orbit, superior and inferior tarsal plates in eyelids
Orbicularis Oculi - Action
closes eyelids
palpebral part: gently
orbital part: tightly
Buccinator - Origin/Insertion
Origin:
alveolar processes of maxilla and mandible
Insertion:
angle of mouth and orbicularis oris
Buccinator - Action
presses cheek against molar teeth, resists distension of cheeks when blowing
Orbicularis Oris - facts
Sphincter of mouth
Orbicularis Oris - Origin/Insertion
Origin:
maxilla and mandible bones, angles of mouth
Insertion:
mucous membranes of lips
Orbicularis Oris - Action
holds lips closes, compresses and protrudes lips
Platysma - facts
contained within the subcutaneous tissue of the neck
Platysma - Origin/Insertion
Origin:
subcutaneous fascia of the supra and infraclavicular regions
Insertion:
mandible, skin of cheek and lower lip
Platysma - Action
depresses mandible, tenses skin of inferior face and neck

DA:
medial surface of the mandibular ramus
Medial Pterygoid - N/S & Action
N/S:
CN V3 mandibular br. of trigeminal nerve
Action:
elevates mandible and assists in protrusion

Sternocleidomastoid - N/S & Action
N/S:
Accessory nerve: CN XI (motor) and spinal nerves C2/3 (pain and proprioception
Action:
Bilat - anterior translation of the head
unilat - ipsilateral sidebending, contralateral rotation
Trapezius - PA & DA
PA:
medial 1/3 sup nuchal line, EOP, nuchal ligament, SPs of C7-T12 vertebrae
