Q

*MUSCLES OF THE FACE

lie next to each other like 2 parts of a single muscle; the former is located dorsal and arises near the infraorbital foramen while the latter is ventrally located. Both of these muscles are under cover of the levator nasolabialis; together they dilate the nostril and raise the upper lip

A
