    Study Notes

    Muscles of Facial Expression

    • Most facial muscles originate from bone or fascia and insert into the skin.
    • They are innervated by the facial nerve, and supplied by the facial artery.
    • Facial muscles contract to move the facial skin, reflecting our emotions.
    • Facial muscles aid in speech, chewing, and facial expressions.

    ### Mouth

    • The orbicularis oris encircles the oral cavity, closing and opening the mouth, compressing the lips, and protruding the lips.
    • The levator labii superioris elevates the upper lip.
    • The depressor labii inferioris depresses the lower lip.
    • the zygomaticus minor elevates the upper lip.
    • The zygomaticus major elevates the corners of the mouth.
    • The levator anguli oris elevates the corners of the mouth.
    • The depressor anguli oris depresses the corners of the mouth.
    • The mentalis pulls the skin of the chin up.
    • The buccinator compresses the cheek against the buccal surfaces of molars, aiding in chewing.
    • The risorius retracts the angle of the mouth.

    Scalp

    • The frontalis muscle of the occipitofrontalis pulls the scalp up and back, elevating the eyebrows and wrinkling the scalp.

    Neck

    • The platysma pulls down the corners of the mouth, wrinkling the skin of the chin and neck.

    Eyes

    • The orbicularis oculi closes the eyes forcefully (orbital part) and gently (palpebrae part).
    • The corrugator pulls the eyebrows medially.
    • The procerus pulls the eyebrows down and wrinkles the nose.

    Nose

    • The nasalis is made of two parts, the dilator naris, which flares the nostrils and the compressor naris which closes the nostrils.

    Ears

    • The anterior auricular pulls the ear slightly forward.
    • The superior auricular raises the ear.
    • The posterior auricular pulls the ear back.

    Conditions Affecting Facial Muscles

    • Conditions like Bell’s Palsy, stroke, and surgery can affect the functionality of facial muscles.
    • These conditions may impact patient management and treatment delivery.
