Under Systems, scroll down to the Muscular System views. Select the view Expression and find the following muscles. When you select a muscle, note the book icon in the content box. Selecting this icon allows you to read the muscle’s definition. 1. Occipitofrontalis (epicranius) 2. Orbicularis oculi 3. Orbicularis oris 4. Nasalis 5.

Scalene group (anterior, middle, posterior) 2 IN-LAB EXERCISES Use the following modules to guide your exploration of the head and neck region of the muscular system. As you explore the modules, locate the muscles on any charts, models, or specimen available. Please note that these muscles act on the head and neck – those that are located in the neck but act on the back are in a separate section. When reviewing the action of a muscle, it will be helpful to think about where the muscle is located and where the insertion is. Muscle physiology requires that a muscle will “pull” instead of “push” during contraction, and the insertion is the part that will move. Imagine that the muscle is “pulling” on the bone or tissue it is attached to at the insertion. Access 3D views and animated muscle actions in Visible Body’s Human Anatomy Atlas, which will be especially helpful to visualize muscle actions.

  • Chin Ptosis: Classification, Anatomy, and Correction/Garfein, Zide 3
    Chin Ptosis: Classification, Anatomy, and Correction Evan S. Garfein, M.D.,1 and Barry M. Zide, D.M.D., M.D.1 ABSTRACT For years, the notion of chin ptosis was somehow integrated with the concept of witch’s chin. That was a mistake on many levels because chin droop has four major causes, all different and with some overlap. With this article, the surgeon can quickly diagnose which type and which therapeutic modality would work best. In some cases the problem is a simple fix, in others the droop can only be stabilized, and in the final two, definite corrective procedures are available. Of note, in certain situations two types of chin ptosis may overlap because both the patient and the surgeon may each contribute to the problems. For example, in dynamic ptosis, a droop that occurs with smile in the unoperated patient can be exacerbated and further produced by certain surgical methods also. This paper classifies the variations of the problems and explains the anatomy with the final emphasis on long-term surgical correction, well described herein. This article is the ninth on this subject and a review of them all would be helpful (greatly) for understanding the enigmas of the lower face. KEYWORDS: Lip incompetence, chin ptosis, witch’s chin, chin droop, mentalis muscle All chin ptosis patients are not alike. The abnormal anatomy, diagnosis, and management of the proper diagnosis of the type of chin ptosis places the four types of chin ptosis, as well as how to manage patient into one of four categories, which will deter- dynamic ptosis in the presence of other problems— mine who can and who cannot be helped and by which surgeon-caused or not.

  • Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism
    Appendix B: Muscles of the Speech Production Mechanism I. MUSCLES OF RESPIRATION A. MUSCLES OF INHALATION (muscles that enlarge the thoracic cavity) 1. Diaphragm Attachments: The diaphragm originates in a number of places: the lower tip of the sternum; the first 3 or 4 lumbar vertebrae and the lower borders and inner surfaces of the cartilages of ribs 7 - 12. All fibers insert into a central tendon (aponeurosis of the diaphragm). Function: Contraction of the diaphragm draws the central tendon down and forward, which enlarges the thoracic cavity vertically. It can also elevate to some extent the lower ribs. The diaphragm separates the thoracic and the abdominal cavities. 2. External Intercostals Attachments: The external intercostals run from the lip on the lower border of each rib inferiorly and medially to the upper border of the rib immediately below. Function: These muscles may have several functions. They serve to strengthen the thoracic wall so that it doesn't bulge between the ribs. They provide a checking action to counteract relaxation pressure. Because of the direction of attachment of their fibers, the external intercostals can raise the thoracic cage for inhalation. 3. Pectoralis Major Attachments: This muscle attaches on the anterior surface of the medial half of the clavicle, the sternum and costal cartilages 1-6 or 7. All fibers come together and insert at the greater tubercle of the humerus. Function: Pectoralis major is primarily an abductor of the arm. It can, however, serve as a supplemental (or compensatory) muscle of inhalation, raising the rib cage and sternum. (In other words, breathing by raising and lowering the arms!) It is mentioned here chiefly because it is encountered in the dissection.

  • Hemifacial Spasm
    The Neurosurgical Atlas by Aaron Cohen-Gadol, M.D. Hemifacial spasm Hemifacial spasm (HFS) is a cranial nerve hyperactivity disorder most likely caused by neurovascular conflict (compression) as one of its underlying etiological phenomenon. It is typically characterized by unilateral involuntary intermittent twitching of the muscles of the face. The spasms usually start around the eye, involving the orbicularis oculi muscle, and later spread to other muscles of the face that are innervated by the facial nerve, including the platysma. The spasms are bilateral in about 2% of the patients with this disorder. Hemifacial spasm has an estimated prevalence of 11 cases per 100000 individuals and is twice as common in females as males. Onset is mostly during the 4th and 5th decades of life. On average, patients suffer from HFS for about 8 years before definitive treatment is found. Familial clustering is rare. Clinically, HFS presents as progressive, involuntary, irregular clonic or tonic movements of the muscles innervated by the facial nerve. The symptoms usually persist during sleep. Some patients complain of a “ticking” sound on the affected side, which is caused by contractions of the stapedius muscle. Although HFS is not life threatening, patients may suffer severe psychological stress because of cosmetic concerns, and their binocular vision may be compromised by prolonged tonic spasms of the orbicularis oculi. The symptoms are often exacerbated by psychological stress and speaking. Differentiating HFS from other movement disorders involving the face can sometimes be challenging. Some common mimickers of HFS are blepharospasm, facial nerve tics, and synkinesis after facial nerve paralysis. A careful history and physical examination can greatly help the clinician reach the correct diagnosis.
