Muscles of the Face, Head, and Neck

Restorative Art I

What are muscles?

Muscles cover, shape, protect, and support the skeleton and vital organs

They function to allow movement throughout the body

Entire body consists of over 500 large and small muscles that averages between 40 and 50% of an individual’s weight

Muscle Origin

Muscles start at one point and end at another

The fixed point where muscles attach is called the origin

The fixed point is just that, fixed. It does not move

On the face, the origin of muscles is usually on a stationary bone (does not move) or on cartilage

Muscle Insertion

The end of a muscle attached to a non-fixed (moveable) body part or to the skin

This is where the “pull” of a muscle occurs

Remember: For each muscle that pulls in one direction, there is another muscle that returns that body part to it’s original position

Tendons

Attach the ends of muscle to bone, skin, etc.

“Wrinkles” & Muscle

If you remember, a wrinkle is also called a “furrow”

Wrinkles cross the direction of muscle fibers at right angles

Muscle fibers that run up and down (vertically) will have wrinkles that run across them (horizontally)

Muscle fibers that run across (horizontally) will have wrinkles that run up and down (vertically)

Other Types of Muscle

Quadrilateral Muscles

Muscle fibers are parallel and run directly from their point of origin to the point of insertion

Sphincter Muscles

Ring-like, or circular, muscles that surround a natural orifice and allow a body passage to open or close

Some examples of these muscles are:

Mouth

Eyes

Anus

Double-Bellied Muscles

Two portions of muscle separated by tendons or aponeuroses

Aponeurosis

A flat, ribbon-shaped tendon

Aponeurosis

Aponeurosis:

Greek (Aponeurotica)

A broad, flat sheet of dense, fibrous, collagenous, tendon-like connective tissue

Is sheet-like in appearance

Is pearly-white colored

Attaches sheet-like muscles that need a wide area of attachment

In RA, the Epicranial aponeurosis, is an important covering on the upper part of the cranium and meets the occipitofrontalis muscle

Remember: Do not be intimidated by large words, break them down

Epi = on, over

Cranial = you know this one

Muscles of Form and Expression

Muscles of the Cranium

Occipitofrontalis

Occipitofrontalis Muscle (1)

Break it down to orient yourself:

occipito (occipital bone) frontalis (frontal bone)

AKA: Epicranius

Large muscle covering the top and sides of the skull

Runs from the occipital bone to the eyebrows

Has 2 large “bellies”

Occipital belly: draws the scalp backward in contraction

Frontal belly: draws scalp forward at contraction

This broad muscle covers the top of the skull

It consists of two parts, the occipitalis, or back part; and the frontalis, or front part

This muscle draws the scalp posteriorly and anteriorly, causing eyebrows to raise and wrinkles to form on forehead.

Auricular Muscles (3)

Anterior

Posterior

Superior

Three thin muscles near the ear

They move the scalp more than they move the ear

They have no influence on surface form

15

Muscles of Mastication

Masticate = to chew

Temporalis (2)

Masseter (2)

Pterygoideus Medialis (2)

Pterygoideus Lateralis (2)

Temporalis

Temporalis Muscle (2)

Broad muscles originating in the temporal cavity and inserting in the mandible

Muscles of mastication (masticate = to chew)

Are the strongest chewing muscles

Close the mandible/bring teeth together

Assist in side-to-side movement of the mandible

Muscles are fan-shaped

They have no effect on surface form

Left Temporalis

Masseter (2)

Masseter Muscle (2)

Origin: Zygomatic Arch

Insertion: Mandible

Located on the side of the face

Assists with closing the mandible

Left Masseter

Dallas Institute of Funeral Service

21

Right Masseter Muscle

Pterygoideus Medialis (2) Pterygoideus Lateralis (2)

Pronounced: “Ter-i-goyd” (The “P” is silent)

Do not affect surface form

Both pairs are referred to as “pterygoids”

Muscles are deep

They allow side-to-side movement of the lower jaw

They GRIND food, not tear it

Origin: Processes of the sphenoid bone

Orbicularis Oculi (2)

Are sphincter muscles

Surround the eye sockets

Oculi: think “ocular” for the eye

Orbicularis: think “orb” or round (sphincter)

Close the eyelids

Compress lacrimal sacs

The “Muscles of reflection, or thought”

Small, narrow, pyramid-shaped muscles of facial expression

Muscles lie beneath the frontalis and orbicularis oculi

Medial end of eyebrows

Known as the “frowning muscles”

Draw the eyebrows inferiorly and medially--frowning)

Produce vertical furrows between the eyebrows when contracted

Think: Corrugated tin

Supercilii: think “above” “hair”

(Eyebrow)

Corrugator (2)

Levator Palpebrae Superioris (2)

Break it down:

Levator: think elevator, or to raise

Palpebrae: has to do with the eyelid

Superioris: means upper

So, raises (elevates) the upper eyelid

Muscle runs from deep inside the eye socket to the superior tarsal plate of the eyelid

Muscle is long, flat, thin and triangular shaped

If you run into a situation where you cannot close the eyelid, this muscle may be damaged/severed

Procerus (1)

Covers the bridge of the nose

Draws skin of forehead inferiorly

This causes transverse and vertical wrinkles (furrows) in the forehead, and across the root of the nose

Is a thin, long muscle

When contracted, medial end of eyebrows are drawn down

Extends from the lower portion of the nasal bone to the lower portion of the forehead

Orbicularis Oris (1)

Break it down:

Orbicularis: You know this from the eye muscle—Quiz yourself!

Oris: think “oral”

Flat band of muscles in upper and lower red lips and integumentary lips

The sphincter muscle that surrounds the mouth

Closes the lips

Compresses lips against the teeth

Shapes the lips during speech

The “Puckering Muscle” or “Whistling Muscle”

Unlike the sphincter of the eye, it is composed primarily of fibers from other facial and lip muscles
