Superficial Face and Muscles of Facial Expression Flashcards
what are the borders of the face
forehead to chin and one ear to the other
what is the cutaneous innervation of the forehead and vertex provided by
trigeminal nerve
what is the sensory innervation of the scalp and skin over posterior part of head provided by
2nd and 3rd spinal nerves
what nerve gives sensory innervation to the angle of the mandible
great auricular nerve from c2 and c3 via cervical plexus
what do dilator muscles do
either lift, depress of pull mouth
what are the muscles of facial expression anchored to
bone or fascia on one end and skin on the other
how do the facial muscles produce an effect
by pulling on skin
what are the main facial muscles
buccinatory, orbicularis oris, orbicularis oculi, occipitofrontalis, platysma
where does the facial nerve enter the skull
via the internal acoustic meatus
where does the facial nerve exit the skull
via stylomastoid foramen
what branches of the facial nerve are given off at the stylomastoid foramen
posterior auricular and digastric nerve
what are the 5 main branches of the facial nerve
temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, cervical
what does the temporal branch supply
forehead and muscles around upper eyelid
what does the zygomatic branch supply
lower eyelid and upper lip
what does the buccal branch supply
cheek, upper lip, orbicularis oris
what does the marginal mandibular branch supply
lower lip, chin, orbicularis oris
what does the cervical branch supply
platysma
what is the occipitofrontalis muscle supplied by
temporal branch for frontal belly
posterior auricular branch for occipital belly
what are the actions of the occipitofrontalis
retract scalp, wrinkle forehead and elevate eyebrows
what is the origin and insertion of the frontal belly of occipitofrontalis
origin - epicranial aponeurosis
insertion - skin/subcutaneous tissue of eyebrows and forehead
what is the origin and insertion of the occipital belly of occipitofrontalis
origin - lateral 2/3 of superior nuchal line
insertion - epicranial aponeurosis
what are the 2 parts of the orbicularis oculi
palpebral and orbital
what is the orbicularis oculi innervated by
temporal and zygomatic branches of CNVII
what is the origin and insertion of the palpebral part of the orbicularis oculi
origin - medial palpebral ligament
insertion - lateral palpebral raphe
what is the origin and insertion of the orbital part of the orbicularis oculi
origin - nasal part of frontal bone, frontal process of maxilla and medial palpebral ligament
insertion - skin around margin of orbit
what does the palpebral orbicularis oculi do
close eye gently
what does the orbital orbicularis oculi do
close eye tightly
what is the function of the orbicularis oculi
protects eyeballs from injury, light and keep moist by spreading lacrimal fluid
