The loose connective tissue is the danger zone. The scalp can be ripped off here.
What are the three groups of muscles of facial expression?
epicranial, circumorbital and palpebral, and mouth musculature
What are the eipcranial muscles?
occipitofrontalis, temoporoparietalis, and the auricularis muscles
Where does levator labii superioris alaeque nasi originate? Insert? What fold does it contrbute to?
Origin: frontal process of maxilla
Insertion: medial - alar cartilage, lateral - upper lip

Contributes to nasolabial furrow
What are the two portions of nasalis? Where do the originate?
Transverse part, alar part. Both ORIGINATE on the maxilla.
Orbicularis oris has four _____. Each has a peripheral portion, and a marginal portion, which surrounds the _____ of the lips.
quadrants; vermillion
Which muscle is most responsible for the sneer/exposing the canine?
zygomaticus minor
Describe origin/insertion/function of mentalis?
Origin: frenulum
insertion: skin of chin
function: elevates/protrudes lower lip
The buccinator milks the _______ and has extensive attachments at the _______.
parotid gland; modiolus
Platysma is contained within the ____.
superficial fascia
The facial nerve exits the skull at the _____ and enters the _____, where is branches extensively.
stylomastoid foramen; parotid gland
What does "two zebras bit my cookie" mean?
Mnemonic for the branches of the facial nerve:
Temporal
Zygomatic
Buccal
Marginal mandibular
Cervical
What causes Bell's palsy?
Unilateral inflammation of the facial nerve, most likely in the facial canal. This may also cause hyperacusis.
What is Moebius syndrome?
Inability to form facial expressions due to congenital underdevelopment of the facial nerve.

How does lateral pterygoid connect to the TMJ? What does it do?
The superior head inserts on the articular disk. The inferior head inserts on the pterygoid fovea. This ensures they move in concert.
What is the structure of the articular disk of the TMJ? Where is it most firmly attached?
It is biconcave. It is more firmly attached too the condyle than to the temporal bone.
What are the three kinds of movement of the TMJ?

How does the TMJ make "grinding" movements?
One condyle "swings," while the other "rests". To me this is counter intuitive, because the resting condyle is the one on the WORKING side. It rotates about a vertical axis.
What may happen if the condyle goes past the articular tubercle?
Trismus, or lockjaw, meaning the elevators will spasm.
