Introduction Facial expression results from one or more
motions or positions of the muscles of the face.
These movements convey the emotional state of the individual to the observer.
Facial expressions are a form of non verbal communication.
Humans can adopt facial expression as voluntary action. However, as facial expressions are relative to emotional state, more often they are involuntary
![Page 3: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
The motor supply to these muscles is by the Facial nerve & the sensory supply is from the Trigeminal nerve
EMBRYLOGICALLY, they develop from the mesoderm of the second branchial arch , therefore, supplied by 7TH CN.

Anatomy of muscles of facial expression
![Page 9: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Occipitofrontalis It covers the dome of the skull from the highest
nuchal lines to the eyebrows. It’s broad musculofibrous layer consisting of four thin, muscular quadrilateral parts. Two occipital & two frontal parts are connected by epicranial aponeurosis.
![Page 10: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Occipitalis Origin: Each occipital part (Occipitalis) arises by the
tendinous fibres from the lateral two-thirds of the highest nuchal lines of the occipital bone & adjacent region of the mastoid part of the temporal bone.
Attachment: Extends forward from the mastoid part of the temporal bone & gets attached to the aponeurosis.
Nerve innervations: posterior auricular branch of the facial nerve.
Action: The Occipitalis draw the scalp backwards. Acting alternatively with the frontalis part, they can move the entire scalp forwards & backwards
![Page 11: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)

Frontalis Origin: arises from the skin of the forehead. Attachment: Frontalis has no bony attachment of
its own. Frontalis is adherent to the superficial fascia, particularly of the eyebrows. Fibres from the frontalis blend with the adjacent muscles –Procerus, Corrugator supercilli & Orbicularis occuli. Then it ascends to join the epicranial aponeurosis in front of the coronal suture.
Nerve innervations: supplied by the temporal branches of the facial nerve.
Vascular supply: Occipitofrontalis is supplied by the branches of the superficial temporal, ophthalmic, posterior auricular & occipital arteries.
![Page 13: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Action: Acting from above the frontalis raises the eyebrows and the skin over the root of the nose. Acting from below, the frontalis draws the scalp forwards, throwing the forehead into transverse wrinkles.Facial expressions elicited: surprise & horror!
![Page 14: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Clinical significance Newborn babies are occasionally born without
one or both sides of this particular muscle resulting in a slight droop to the affected side of the face
Vascular supply: It is mainly supplied by the superior & inferior labial branches of the facial artery, the mental & infra orbital branches of the maxillary artery & the transverse facial branch of the superficial temporal artery.
Nerve supply: It is supplied by the buccal & mandibular branches of the facial nerve.
Action: closes & purses the mouth; numerous extrinsic muscles make it most versatile for various types of grimaces.

Origin: upper part of pectoral and deltoid fasciae, fibres run upwards and medially
Insertion: anterior fibres, to the base of the mandible; posterior fibres to the skin of the lower face and lip, and may be continuous with the risorius
![Page 62: Muscles of facial expression By dr. vijay Makasana](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103014/5492bd28b47959ce3b8b4584/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Vascular supply: The Platysma is supplied by the cervical branch of the facial artery.
Nerve innervations: It is supplied by the cervical branch of the facial nerve.
Action: When the entire Platysma is in action it produces a slight wrinkling of the surface of the skin of the neck in an oblique direction. Its anterior portion, the thickest part of the muscle, depresses the lower jaw; it also serves to draw down the lower lip and angle of the mouth in the expression of horror or surprise.

Bell’s palsy Whole face of same side gets paralysed. Face becomes asymmetrical and drawn up to normal
side. Motionless – affected side Wrinkles disappear from forehead Eye can not be closed Drooping of mouth Drooling of saliva Food accumulates b/w teeth and cheek. Not able to blow.

Usually part of hemiplegia,
Only lower part of opposite side of face is paralysed.
The upper part with frontalis and orbicularis oculi escapes due to its bilateral representation in the cerebral cortex.

Mobius syndrome results from the underdevelopment of the VI and VII cranial nerves
extremely rare congenital neurological disorder which is characterized by facial paralysis and the inability to move the eyes from side to side.
Often, the upper lip is retracted due to muscle shrinkage
Most people with Mobius syndrome are born with complete facial paralysis and cannot close their eyes or form facial expressions.
People with Mobius syndrome have normal intelligence, although their lack of facial expression is sometimes incorrectly taken to be due to dullness or unfriendliness

Children with Mobius syndrome may have delayed speech because of paralysis of muscles that move the lips, soft palate, and tongue root.

Ramsay Hunt syndrome (also termed Hunt's Syndrome and herpes zoster oticus) is a herpes zoster virus infection of the geniculate ganglion of the facial nerve. It is caused by reactivation of herpes zoster virus that has previously caused chickenpox in the patient. Ramsay Hunt syndrome results in paralysis of the facial muscles on the same side of the face as the infection. So, the virus infects the facial nerve that normally innervates controls the muscles of the face. Ramsay Hunt syndrome is typically associated with a red rash and blisters (inflamed vesicles or tiny water-filled sacks in the skin) in or around the ear and eardrum and sometimes on the roof of the mouth or tongue.

If any injury to the nerve which supplies that muscle, it will lead to paralyses of that muscle. This causes the dropping of lower eyelid , called as “Ectropion’’ and
Spilling of tears , called as “Epiphora”.
Some times there will be radiating wrinkles at the angle of the eye during strong closure. This called as “Crow’s Feet”

Risorisus Sardonicus: Smile in tetanus It is the smile like feature in agony due to
pulling of the muscles of the angle
