  2. Facial muscles - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facial_muscles

    The facial muscles are just under the skin (subcutaneous) muscles that control facial expression. They generally originate from the surface of the skull bone (rarely the fascia), and insert on the skin of the face. When they contract, the skin moves. These muscles also cause wrinkles at right angles to the muscles’ action line. [2]

  3. Risorius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risorius

    The risorius muscle is a highly variable muscle of facial expression. It has numerous and very variable origins, and inserts into the angle of the mouth. It receives motor innervation from branches of facial nerve (CN VII). It may be absent or asymmetrical in some people. It pulls the angle of the mouth sidewise, such as during smiling.

  4. Zygomaticus major muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomaticus_major_muscle

    The zygomaticus major muscle is a muscle of the face. It arises from either zygomatic arch ; it inserts at the corner of the mouth. It is innervated by branches of the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII). It is a muscle of facial expression, which draws the angle of the mouth superiorly and posteriorly to allow one to smile. Bifid zygomaticus ...

  5. Zygomaticus minor muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zygomaticus_minor_muscle

    The zygomaticus minor muscle is a muscle of facial expression. It originates from the zygomatic bone, lateral to the rest of the levator labii superioris muscle, and inserts into the outer part of the upper lip. It draws the upper lip backward, upward, and outward and is used in smiling. It is innervated by the facial nerve (VII).

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Levator_labii_superioris

    The levator labii superioris (pl.: levatores labii superioris, also called quadratus labii superioris, pl.: quadrati labii superioris) is a muscle of the human body used in facial expression. It is a broad sheet, the origin of which extends from the side of the nose to the zygomatic bone. [1]

  7. Orbicularis oris muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orbicularis_oris_muscle

    The orbicularis oris is not a simple sphincter muscle like the orbicularis oculi; it consists of numerous strata of muscular fibers surrounding the orifice of the mouth, but having different direction. It consists partly of fibers derived from the other facial muscles which are inserted into the lips, and partly of fibers proper to the lips.

  8. Frontalis muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frontalis_muscle

    However, Terminologia Anatomica currently classifies it as part of the occipitofrontalis muscle along with the occipitalis muscle. [2] In humans, the frontalis muscle only serves for facial expressions. [3] The frontalis muscle is supplied by the facial nerve [4] and receives blood from the supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries.

  9. Procerus muscle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Procerus_muscle

    The procerus muscle arises by tendinous fibers from the fascia covering the lower part of the nasal bone and upper part of the lateral nasal cartilage.It is inserted into the skin over the lower part of the forehead between the two eyebrows on either side of the midline, its fibers merging with those of the frontalis muscle.
