Study Notes

Cutaneous muscles are a type of muscle that exists within the skin. These muscles are typically associated with the mimic muscles, which are responsible for facial expressions. They differ from traditional skeletal muscles in their connection to the skin. Muscles in connective tissue, specifically the panniculus carnosus, extend down to the level of the dermis where they form myocutaneous junctions.

The panniculus carnosus muscle is composed of myocytes and is found deep beneath the fatty layer of the skin called the hypodermis. Fascia, a specialized type of connective tissue, surrounds these muscles. When these muscles contract, they induce a wave of contraction across the entire muscle, resulting in the skin flinching or twitching. This response is most commonly observed when the muscles are stimulated by touch or temperature change.

Myocutaneous junctions occur at the boundary between the muscle and the skin. Within these junctions, individual muscle fibers penetrate the overlying layers of the skin, forming connections with the dermis. The integration of the muscle fibers with the dermis occurs via a complex network of collagen and elastic fibers. However, these myocutaneous junctions do not significantly modify the three-dimensional organization of the dermal network compared to myotendinous junctions.

Despite being inserted into the skin, the insertion of muscle fibers does not alter the collagen and elastic components of the dermis. Single muscle fibers are unable to exert sufficient force to influence their surroundings, suggesting a possible reason why the dermis remains largely unaffected by the presence of the muscle fibers.

The most common cutaneous muscles are the mimic muscles, which include the orbicularis oculi, zygomaticus major, and orbicularis oris. These muscles play a crucial role in facial expression and communication. For example, the orbicularis oris muscle is responsible for purse-string movements of the lips during speech, smiling, and kissing.

In summary, cutaneous muscles represent a unique class of muscle fibers that integrate with the skin to facilitate movement and expression. Their interactions with the underlying fascia and dermis contribute to the structural integrity of the skin and overall function of the body.
