Questions and Answers
What is the function of the superficial muscles of facial expression?
To open, close or move lips, eyelids, nose and ear.
We make FACIAL expressions when we make Large Black POOPZ. What are 7 facial muscles?
Levator nasolabialis, Buccinator, Platysma, Orbicularis Oculi, Orbicularis oris, Parotidauricularis, and Zygomaticus
Match the correct functions to the muscle that carries out the action
Buccinator = Moves food from buccal vestibule to oral cavity Orbicularis oris = From corners of mouth to rostral midline. Closes lips Parotidoauricularis = In danger during ear ablation surgery Levator nasolabialis = Raises upper lip and dilates lateral naris
This muscle is the most superficial muscle keeps the cheeks taut, and anchors/aids pulling back corner of mouth.

Study Notes
Trigeminal Nerve Function
- Motor innervation to muscles of mastication and mylohyoideus via the mandibular division
- Sensory innervation to the face via all three divisions: ophthalmic, maxillary, and mandibular
Trigeminal Nerve Divisions
-
Ophthalmic nerve (100% sensory):
- Exits the skull through the orbital fissure
-
Maxillary nerve (100% sensory):
- Exits the rostral alar foramen and then the round foramen
- Travels through the infraorbital groove
-
Mandibular nerve (mixed sensory and motor):
- Exits the oval foramen
- Contains both sensory (lingual) and motor branches
- Sensory branches exit the inferior alveolar foramen
