Muscles of facial
expression Buccinator - this is the muscle of the cheek. It is used in whistlingand sucking and is also involved in mastication.
Zygomaticus minor - it elevates the upper lip in order to showcontempt and deepens the nasolabial sulcus to express sadness.
Levator anguli oris - this raises the corner of the mouth. Depressor labii inferioris - it depresses the lip and is used in theexpression of impatience. Levator labii superioris - this elevates and everts the upper lip and
aids the zygomaticus minor muscle in the expression of sadness.
Risorius - this is involved in grinning. Procerus - this small muscle runs from the bridge of the nose to theforehead and is useful in frowning and in reducing the glare of brightlights.
Platysma - this is a sheet-like muscle which covers the neck andlower face. It has an embryological role related to the facial nerve.

Facial nerve injury
Injury results to paralysis of the affected muscles.
1. Inflammation at the stylomastoid foramen produces edemaand swelling and compression of the nerve.
2. Loss of tonus of orbicularis oculi > eversion of lower lid
3. Cornea cannot be lubricated, becomes dry, ulcerations orkeratitis
4. Patient cannot blow, whistle or chew effectively. Weakensthe buccinator, orbicularis oris, cheek and lip muscle.Results to displacement and drooping of mouth cornersdue to contraction of unopposed contralateral facialmuscles cause saliva and food dribbling at the sides of themouth.

Other clinical facts of the facial
vasculatures
Compression of facial artery on one side cannot stop anybleeding due to anastomoses of its branches and otherfacial vessels. Facial wounds bleed freely and healquickly. Pulses of the Facial arteries;a. temporal pulse, just anterior to auricleb. facial pulse, at inferior border of mandible Transverse facial artery from the superfacial temporalartery supply the parotid gland and duct, masseter andskin of face anastomose with facial artery. There are anastomoses in the head between the branchesof the internal and external carotid artery. Branches of the Post. Sup. Alveolar supply the gum, molar,premolars and maxillary sinus.

Other clinical features
Branches of the infraorbital artery supply theorbital structures, maxillary sinus, via the
anterior superior alveolar branch of canine and
incisor teeth. Descending palatine artery divides into greaterand lesser palatine arteries.
The pharyngeal branch via the pharyngeal canalsupplies the pharynx posterior to the auditory
tube. The sphenopalatine artery passes thru thesphenopalatine foramen and supplies the lateral
wall and septum of nasal cavity.
