Muscles of Facial expression-pp1 Flashcards
Muscles of facial expression are situated in the superficial fascia, most arise from where and insert into what?
Originate from skull
Insert into skin largely about facial apertures such as orbit, mouth and nares.
What is the job of the SMAS (Superficial MusculoAponeurotic System)?
Keeps face from sagging due to gravity
What pharyngeal arch did ALL of the muscles of facial expression arise from? What CN are they innervated by?
2nd Pharyngeal arch and are innervated by SVE fibers of the facial nerve (CN VII)
What are the two paired bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle? What joins them?
The occipital and frontalis muscles. Connected by the Epicranial aponeurosis (remember aponeurosis = flat tendon)
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the OCCIPITALIS muscle?
Ori: Lateral 2/3 of the superior nuchal line & mastoid process
Ins: Epicranial aponeurosis
Fun: Draws scalp posteriorly
Inn: Posterior Auricular branch of CNVII
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the FRONTALIS muscle?
Ori: Epicranial aponeurosis and coronal suture
Ins: Dermis and superficial fascia of frontal region and eyebrow
Fun: Elevates the eyebrows and skin at nasal root OR depresses the forehead in wrinkles
Inn: Temporal region of CNVII
What are the 5 layers of the scalp?
Skin Connective tissue (dense) Aponeurotic layer Loose connective tissue Pericranium
The scalp receives a blood supply from what two, freely anastomosing arteries? What layer do the external carotid arteries lie within the scalp?
The external and internal carotid arteries. They lie within the dense Connective tissue layer (2nd layer).
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the TEMPOROPARIETALIS muscle?
Ori: Temporalis fascia above auricle
Ins: Lateral border of galea aponeurotica (epicranial neurosis)
Fun: Tenses the galea aponeurotica
Inn: Temporal branches of CNVII
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the ANTERIOR AURICULARIS muscle?
Ori: Temporalis fascia and epicranial neurosis
Ins: Anterior portion of medial helix
Fun: Draws auricle forward and upward
Inn: Temporal branch of CN VII
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the SUPERIOR AURICULAR muscle?
Ori: Temporalis fascia and epicranial aponeurosis
Ins: Upper medial surface of auricle
Fun: Elevates auricle
Inn: Posterior auricular branch of CNVII
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the POSTERIOR AURICULAR muscle?
Ori: Base of Mastoid process
Ins: lower anterior surface of auricle/convexity of concha
Fun: Retracts and elevates auricle
Inn: Posterior auricular branch of CNVII
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the OCULAR portion of the ORBICULARIS OCULI muscle?
Ori: Nasal portion of frontal bone, frontal process of maxilla, medial palpebral ligament; arranged as a series of ellipsesrunning from supero-medial to infero-medial; blending superiorly with frontalis, inferior blending levator labii superioris alequa nasi, levator labii superioris, and zygomaticus minor; laterally blends with temporoparietalis.
Ins: Dermis and superficial fascia of eyebrow, medial palpebral ligament
Fun: Sphincter which narrows and closes the eyelid, draws eyelids slightly medially.
Inn: Temporal, zygomatic, and superior buccal branches of CN VII
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the PALPEBRAL portion of the ORBICULARIS OCULI?
Ori: Superficial and deep surfaces of palpebral ligament
Ins: Lateral palpebral raphe
Fun: Depresses upper lid and elevates lower lid
Inn: Temporal, zygomatic, and superior buccal branches of CN VII.
What are the origin, insertion, function, & innervation of the LACRIMAL portion of the ORBICULARIS OCULI muscle?
Ori: Posterior lacrimal crest
Ins: Palpebral portion of muscle
Fun: Draws eyelids and lacrimal papillae medially; assists with expressions of tears from lacrimal glands.
