Muscles of the Head(ANATOMY)

 

Muscles of the head divided into 3 regions:

(A) Neurocranium muscles

(B) facial/viceral muscles  

(C) Masticatory muscles    

(A) Neurocranial Muscles are:

1) occipito-frontalis muscle

2) Auricular muscle-superior,anterior,posterior

3) Temporalis muscle

4) Epicranius muscle

(B) Facial/Viceral Muscles are:

1) Procerus muscle

2) Orbicularis oculi muscle

3) corrugator supercilli muscle

4) Nasalis muscle

5) Orbicularis oculi muscle

6) Buccinator muscle

7) Levator labii superioris muscle

8) Levator anguli oris muscle

9) Zygomaticus major muscle

10) Zygomaticus minor muscle

11) Risorius muscle

12) Depressor anguli oris muscle

13) Depressor labii inferioris muscle

14) Mentalis muscle

(C) Masticatory Muscles are:

Two types- (a) Superficial (b) Deep Masticatory muscles

a) Superficial:

1) Masseter muscle

2) Temporalis muscle

b)Deep:

1) Medial Pterygoid muscle

2) Lateral Pterygoid muscle
