The transverse part (compressor naris muscle) arises from the maxilla, above and lateral to the incisive fossa. Its fibers proceed upward and medially, expanding into a thin aponeurosis which is continuous on the bridge of the nose with that of the muscle of the opposite side, and with the aponeurosis of the procerus muscle .
The levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle (occasionally shortened alaeque nasi muscle) is, translated from Latin, the "lifter of both the upper lip and of the wing of the nose". The muscle is attached to the upper frontal process of the maxilla and inserts into the skin of the lateral part of the nostril and upper lip. [1]
The depressor septi nasi muscle arises from the incisive foramen of the maxilla. [1] It may also partially originate from the orbicularis oris muscle. [1] Its fibers ascend to be inserted into the nasal septum [1] and back part of the alar part of nasalis muscle. It lies between the mucous membrane and the muscular structure of the lip.
