    Study Notes

    Facial Muscles

    • Frontalis: Responsible for raising the eyebrows and wrinkling the forehead.

    • Orbicularis Oculi: Closes the eyelids and drains tears through the tear drainage system, which includes the punctum, canaliculi, and lacrimal sac.

    • Zygomaticus: Elevates the corners of the mouth during smiles, contributing to facial expressions of happiness.

    • Buccinator: Keeps food positioned between the teeth while chewing; also aids in sucking in the cheeks.

    • Orbicularis Oris: Known as the "kissing muscle," it is responsible for lip closure and puckering.

    • Platysma: Moves the lower lip and mouth corners sideways and downwards, often changing facial expression; also depresses and wrinkles neck skin and assists in mandible lowering.

    • Cranial Aponeurosis: A fibrous tissue covering the upper part of the cranium in humans and other animals, providing structural support.

    • Temporalis: A synergist muscle that assists in the closure of the jaw during chewing.

    • Occipitalis: Moves the scalp backward, contributing to various head movements.

    • Masseter: A crucial muscle for chewing solid foods, enabling powerful jaw movements.

    • Sternocleidomastoid: Rotates the head to the opposite side; when both sides contract, it flexes the neck and extends the head.

    • Trapezius: A versatile muscle aiding posture and movement; it tilts and turns the head and neck, shrugs shoulders, stabilizes the shoulders, and rotates and retracts the scapula.
