orbicularis oculi
The orbicularis oculi is a muscle in the face that closes the eyelids
zygomaticus
a slender band of muscle on each side of the face that arises from the zygomatic bone, inserts into the orbicularis oris and skin at the corner of the mouth, and acts to pull the corner of the mouth upward and backward when smiling or laughing.
Buccinator
a flat, thin muscle in the wall of the cheek.
Orbicular Oris
the muscle surrounding the mouth. It consists partly of fibers derived from other facial muscles such as the buccinator that are inserted into the lips and partly of fibers proper to the lips. It serves to close and purse the lips.
Platysma
a platelike muscle that originates from the fascia of the cervical region and inserts in the mandible and the skin around the mouth. It wrinkles the skin of the neck and depresses the jaw.
Styloglossus
a muscle that arises from the styloid process of the temporal bone, inserts along the side and underpart of the tongue
Hyoglossus
