46
what is another name for the lacrimal portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle
muscle of horner
47
where is the lacrimal portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle located
it encircles the lacrimal canaliculi within the lids to aid in the excretion of tears
48
what is another name for the ciliary portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle
muscle of Riolan
49
where is the ciliary portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle located
it is a group of fine fibers located at the lid margin
50
what is the ciliary portion of the orbicularis oculi muscles function
keep the ciliary margin of the eyelid apposed to the eye
51
What is the action of the orbicularis oculi orbital portion
contacts like a pursestring drawing the lids toward the medial canthis and closing the fissure
52
what is the antagonist of the orbital portion of the orbicularis oculi muscle
the frontalis muscle
53
what does the palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi do
voluntary wink or reflex blink
54
what is the antagonist of the palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi
the levator palpebrae superioris- relaxes the lids
