1)Buccinator
origin - external alveolar margins of maxilla and mandible by molar teeth, to maxillary tubercle and pterygoid hamulus and posterior mylohyoid line .
Insertion - decusstaes at modiolus of mouth and interdigitates with opposite side.
Action of buccinator - pull back the angle of mouth and flatten the cheek area which aids in holding the cheek while chewing.

Origin -- Medial superciliary arch.
Insertion -- skin of Medial forehead.
Action -- wrinkles forehead.
3)Menatlis muscle --
Origin -- incisive fossa of.mandible .
Insertion -- skin of chin
Action -- elevates , everts and protudes lower lip.
4) orbicularis oculi --
Origin - frontal surface of orbital margin
Insertion -- lateral palpable raphe on outer part of each eye .
Action -- close the eyelid , helps on passing and draining of tears.
5) Orbicularis Oris --
