insertion: alar cartilage of nose
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: opens nostril
procerus
origin: nasal bone and lateral nasal cartilage
insertion: skin of glabella
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function:Draws down medial angle of eyebrows, producing transverse wrinkles over bridge of nose
depressor septic nasi
origin: maxilla above medial incisor
insertion: nasal septum

insertion: modiolus - skin at the corner of mouth
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: draws corner of mouth downward and laterally
depressor labii inferioris
origin: mandibular
insertion: lower lip at midline
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: draws lower lip downward and laterally
mentalis
origin: mandible inferior to incisor teeth
insertion: skin of chin
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: protrudes lower lip as it wrinkles skin on chin
risorius
origin: fascia over masseter muscle
insertion: modiolus - skin at the corner of the mouth
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: retracts corner of mouth
zygomaticus major
origin: posterior part of zygomatic bone
insertion: modiolus - skin at the corner of the mouth
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: draws the corner of the mouth upward and laterally
zygomaticus minor
origin: anterior part of zygomatic bone
insertion: upper lip just medial to corner of mouth
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: draws the upper lip upward
levator labii superioris
origin: infra-orbital margin of maxilla
insertion: skin of upper lateral half of upper lip
innervation: skin of upper lateral half of upper lip
function: raises upper lip; helps form nasolabial furrow
levator labii superioris alaeque nasi
origin: frontal process of maxilla
insertion: alar cartilage of nose and upper lip
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: raises upper lip and opens nostril
levator anguli oris
origin: maxilla below infra-orbital foramen
insertion: modiolus - skin at the corner of the mouth
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: raises corner of mouth; helps form nasolabial furrow
orbicularis oris
origin: from muscles in area; maxilla and mandible in midline
insertion: forms ellipse around mouth
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: closes lips; protrudes lips
buccinator
origin: posterior parts of maxilla and mandible; pterygomandibular raphe
insertion: blends with orbicularis oris and into lips
innervation: facial nerve [VII]
function: presses the cheek against teeth; compresses distended cheeks
