Muscles of Facial Expression Flashcards
the muscles of facial expression are all innervated by branches of what nerve?
facial nerve (CN VII)
what is the muscle of the scalp?
occipitofrontalis
the occipitofrontalis has two ‘bellies’ - what are they?
occipital belly and frontal belly
what are the origins and insertions of the occipitofrontalis?
occipital belly
* origin - highest nuchal line/occipital bone)
* insertion - epicranial aponeurosis
frontal belly
* origin - epicranial aponeurosis
* insertion - skin of the eyebrows
what is the action of the occipitofrontalis?
pull skin on forehead up and forms horizontal lines
what muscles of facial expression are innervated by the temporal branches of the facial nerve?
- frontalis
- orbicularis oculi
- corrugator supercili
what muscles of facial expression are innervated by the zygomatic branches of the facial nerve?
orbicularis oculi
what muscles of facial expression are innervated by the buccal branches of the facial nerve?
- orbicularis oris
- buccinator
- zygomaticus
what muscles of facial expression are innervated by the marginal mandibular branches of the facial nerve?
- mentalis
- depressor labii inferioris
- depressor anguli oris
what muscles of facial expression are innervated by the cervical branches of the facial nerve?

what are the origins and insertions of the procerus muscle?
origin - bridge of the nose
insertion - skin of the forehead
what is the action of the procerus muscle?
forms horizontal wrinkle on the root of the nose
what are the two parts of the orbicularis occuli?
orbital
palpebral
(lacrimal)
what are the origins and insertion of the orbital part of the orbicularis occuli?
medial palpebral ligament
what are the actions of the orbital part of the orbicularis occuli?
firmly closes the eyelids
what are the origins and insertions of the palpebral part of the orbicularis occuli?
origin - medial palpebral ligament
insertion - lateral palpebral ligament
what are the actions of the palpebral part of the orbicularis occuli?
gently closes eyelids
what are the origins and insertions of the lacrimal part of the orbicularis occuli?
origin - lacrimal bone
insertions - lacrimal sac
what are the actions of the lacrimal part of the orbicularis occuli?
opens lacrimal sac so tears can fall down into the nasal cavity
what are the origins and insertions of the corrugator supercilii?
- origins - glabella
- insertions - skin of the eyebrow
what are the actions of the corrugator supercilii?
pulls eyebrows medially and inferiorly forming vertical lines of frowning
what is the glabella?
smooth part of forehead above and between the eyebrows
where is the corrugator supercilii located?
posteriorly to the orbicularis oculi
what are the 3 eyebrows surrounding the eye opening?
- corrugator supercilii
- procerus muscle
- orbicularis occuli
