Muscle | Origin & Insertion | Action |
1.Occipito Frontalis |
Origin:Epicranial aponeurosis Insertion:Skin superior to Supra Orbital Margin |
Raises Eyebrows |
2.Orbicularis Oculi |
Origin:front of the orbital margin- rim of the socket of eye Insertion:Lateral palpebral raphe,located on outer part of socket of eye. |
1.To close the eye involuntarily & voluntarily ( 2.Help flow of tears out of the eyes. |
Zygomaticus Major |
origin: lateral surface of the zygomatic bone Insertion:Modiolus, it blends with other upper lip muscles |
it is a muscle that helps facial expression-It draws angle of mouth upward & outward |
Orbicularis Oris |
Origin: mid-line of mandible& maxilla. Insertion: tissues of upper &lower lips |
Puckering of the lips,which helps- 1. kiss 2.play wind instrument 3.whistle song |
Masseter |
Origin: Inferior border of zygomatic arch Insertion:Inserts to superficial side of ramus of mandible |
Elevate the mandible by raising the lower jaw which helps to close mouth |
Buccinator |
Origin:1.alveolar processes-The thickened parts of mandible & maxilla which form the teethsocket 2.Pterygo-mandibular raphe- thick layer of connective tissue in cheek |
It helps to a.pull back angle of mouth b. flatten the cheek , which holds cheek to the teeth during chewing |
Sternocleidomastoid |
Origin- a. Manubrium of the sternum b.Clavicle. Insertion:mastoid process of temporal bone . |
1.Rotation of the head to opposite side 2.Flexion of neck. |
