Muscles of facial expression [Oral and Dental Sciences] Miss H Rogers GDC ILOS  1.1.5 Describe relevant and appropriate dental, oral, craniofacial and general anatomy and explain their applica>on to pa>ent management  1.1.6 Describe relevant and appropriate physiology and explain its applica>on to pa>ent management Related topics:  Anatomical terminology  Muscles  Skull  Regional anatomy 2 Aim To gain an overview of the muscles involved in facial expressions, and their func>ons Learning Outcomes By the end of this lecture you should be able to: 1.List the muscles of facial expression 2.Outline the origin, inser>on, ac>on, innerva>on, and blood supply for each muscle 3  Most facial muscles originate from bone or fascia and insert into the skin ↓ Connective tissue that surrounds organs or under skin  They are all innovated by the facial nerve, and supplied by the facial artery Qu: Can you name the 5 branches of the facial nerve? Temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular and cervical.  When contracted they move the facial skin in various ways that can reNect our emo>ons- giving them the name ‘muscles of facial 4 expression’ Facial expression muscle funcBons: Other than helping to show emo>ons or expressions, what other func>ons do you think the facial muscles have? Speech Mas>ca>on  superficial fascia The muscles lie in the subcutaneous fascia and can be subdivided into where they are situated: Mouth Scalp Neck Eyes Nose Ears We are going to work through the muscles included in each subgroup 6 Why do you think it is important that we know what these muscles are and their associated ac>ons? Bruxism (Clenching/grinding) Facial palsy Facial aesthetics 7 Grab a mirror and get ready to pull some funny faces as we test out your facial muscles! AcBvity: For each muscle covered, see if you can put them into ac>on yourself… 8 Muscles of Facial Expression: Mouth 9  Orbis = circle Oris = mouth Orbicularis Oris Circles the oral cavity in lip >ssue Origin Some bony aXachment (anterior nasal spine and midline above the chin) InserBon Fibres interlace with muscles around the lips 10 AcBon Closes and opens the mouth, compress the lips, protrusion of the lips Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal branch Blood Supply Facial, maxillary & super\cial temporal arteries 11  Levator = to lift Labium = lip Superior = above Oris = mouth Levator Labii Superioris Origin Lower rim of orbit InserBon Fibres of Orbicularis Oris at the upper lip 12 AcBon Elevate upper lip Nerve Supply Facial nerve, zygoma>c and buccal branches Blood Supply Facial & maxillary arteries 13  Depressor = down Labium = lip Inferior = below Depressor Labii Inferioris Origin Beneath the lowest por>on of the oblique line of the mandible InserBon Orbicularis Oris in the lower lip AcBon Depresses lower lip Nerve Supply Facial nerve, mandibular branch Blood Supply Facial & maxillary arteries 14 ZygomaBcus Minor Origin Zygoma>c arch InserBon Orbicularis Oris AcBon Elevate upper lip Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal & zygoma>c branches Blood Supply Facial artery 15 ZygomaBcus Major Origin Zygoma>c arch InserBon Travels downwards and medially to blend with Orbicularis Oris at angle of mouth 16 AcBon Elevate corners of mouth, E.g. during laughter Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal & zygoma>c branches Blood Supply Facial artery 17 Levator Anguli Oris Origin Canine fossa of the Maxilla, below the infra-orbital foramen InserBon The Orbicularis Oris at corner of the mouth AcBon Elevates the corner of the mouth Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal & zygoma>c branch Blood Supply Facial & maxillary arteries 18 Depressor Anguli Oris Origin Beneath angle of the mandible InserBon Converges into the angles of the mouth and blend with Orbicularis Oris 19 AcBon Depresses corner of mouth Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal & mandibular branches Blood Supply Facial & maxillary arteries 20 Mentalis Origin Anterior surface of mandible (incisive fossa) InserBon Skin covering the chin 21 AcBon Puckers/pulls skin of the chin up Helps the Orbicularis Oris muscle in clearing food from the labial sulcus Nerve Supply Facial nerve, mandibular branch Blood Supply Facial & maxillary arteries 22 Buccinator Origin Pterygomandibular raphae and buccal alveolar bone (in maxillary and mandibular molars regions) InserBon Blend with the Orbicularis Oris at corners of mouth 23 AcBon Pulls corner of the mouth back and compresses cheek against the buccal surfaces of molars Aids in mas>ca>on working in opposi>on with the tongue to direct food to the occlusal tooth surfaces Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal branch Blood Supply Facial & maxillary arteries 24 Risorius Origin Angle of the mandible InserBon Corner of the mouth AcBon Retract the angle of the mouth, assists in smiling Nerve Supply Facial never, buccal branch Blood Supply Facial artery 25 Muscles of Facial Expression: Scalp 26 Occipitofrontalis Consists of 3 parts: Frontalis Occipitalis Galea Aponeuro>ca The one associated with facial expression is the frontalis Origin Connec>ve >ssue of the scalp InserBon Skin of the frontal regions of the eyebrows 27 AcBon Pulls scalp up and back- elevates eyebrows and wrinkles scalp Nerve Supply Facial nerve, temporal branch Blood Supply Super\cial temporal &opthalmic arteries 28 Muscles of Facial Expression: Neck 29 Platysma Origin Clavicle & shoulder InserBon Lower border of mandible, skin & muscle of lower face & mouth AcBon Pulls down corners of mouth (grimace), and wrinkles skin of chin & neck Nerve Supply Facial nerve, cervical branch Blood Supply Facial artery & thyrocervical trunk 30 Muscles of Facial Expression: Eyes 31 Orbicularis oculi (in 2 parts) 1. Orbital 2. Palpebrae  Horseshoe shape encircling  Originates from the medial the eye palpebral ligament and arches  Originates from the bone of laterally within the eyelid the upper medial orbital margin AcBon: AcBon:  Closes the eye forcefully  Close eyes gently (blinking) 32 Nerve Supply Facial nerve, zygoma>c & temporal branches Blood Supply Super\cial temporal, facial & maxillary arteries 33 Corrugator Origin Bridge of the nose InserBon Skin of the lateral part of eyebrow AcBon Pulls eyebrows medially (frown) Nerve Supply Facial nerve, temporal branch Blood Supply Super\cial temporal artery 34 Procerus Origin Bridge of the nose InserBon Medial end of the eyebrows AcBon Pulls eyebrows down (frown), and wrinkling of the nose Nerve Supply Facial nerve, zygoma>c branch Blood Supply Facial artery 35 Muscles of Facial Expression: Nose 36 Nasalis The nasalis is made up of 2 parts that open and close the nostrils: 1.Dilator Naris 2.Compressor Naris Nerve Supply Facial nerve, buccal branches Blood Supply Facial artery 37 1. Dilator Naris  Origin: The nasal margin of the maxilla  Inser>on: Skin of the nostril  Ac>on: Flares the nostrils 2. Compressor Naris  Origin: The top of the maxillary canine ridge  Inser>on: Midline over the nasal car>lage  Ac>on: Closes the nostrils 38 Muscles of Facial Expression: Ears 39 There are 3 muscles that act on the external ear: Anterior Auricular Superior Auricular Posterior Auricular 40 Anterior Auricular Origin The scalp and temporal fascia InserBon Anterior medial aspect of the helix of the ear AcBon Pulls the ear slightly forward Nerve Supply Facial nerve, temporal branch Blood Supply Posterior auricular artery 41 Superior Auricular Origin Scalp and temporal fascia InserBon Superior medial aspect of the ear AcBon Raises the ear Nerve Supply Facial nerve, temporal branch Blood Supply Posterior auricular artery 42 Posterior Auricular Origin Superior lateral aspect of the mastoid process InserBon Inferior medial aspect of auricle the ear AcBon Pulls the ear back Nerve Supply Facial nerve, temporal branch Blood Supply Posterior auricular artery 43 Changes to the muscles 44 There are a number of condi>ons that may adect the func>onality of the facial muscles, can you think of any? Bell’s Palsy  Stroke  Surgery  What impact might these have on the pa>ent? How might they inNuence the delivery of treatment? 45 Summary Complete the table below, or create your own, to summarise the muscles of facial expression.
