muscular system Flashcards
All are superficial muscles
they insert into the overlying skin
they develop from the branchial arches
innervated by the facial nerve
MUSCLES OF THE FACE
inserts into the RADIUS originates in the SCAPULA
biceps muscle
inserts into the BONE originates from ANOTHER BONE
muscle
inserts on SKIN originates on a BONE
facial muscle
muscles of the face
frontalis
orbicularis oculi
orbicularis Oris
buccinator
zygomaticus
platysma
● Origin: frontal bone
● Insertion: skin of eyebrows
● Action: raises eyebrows, wrinkles forehead
frontalis
● Origin: bony orbit (eye socket)
● Insertion: eyelids
● Action: closes the eyelids
○ squinting, blinking, winking
orbicularis oculi
● Origin: maxilla and mandible
● Insertion: lips
● Action: puckers the lips
orbicularis oris
osculate
kissing
prevents contracting the frontalis
■ (temporary) prevents
contraction, prevents wrinkling
botox
when a muscle shortens, it pulls
the insertion towards the origin
kissing
trumpeter or buccal
buccinator
● Origin: molar regions of the maxilla and
mandible - towards the back

● Action: compresses the cheeck, as when
blowing and sucking

● Insertion: skin at corners of mouth

corners of the mouth upwards
zygomaticus
● Origin: fascia of chest - originates from skin,
inserts on bone
● Insertion: mandible
