- 1What are the (4) muscles of the scalp?frontalis
occipitalis
2x temporalis (on the sides) - 2Which muscle of the scalp is an esthetician most concerned about?frontalis
- 3What is the frontalis (muscle) and what does it do?frontalis:
- scalp muscle
- raises eyebrows
- draws scalp forward
- causes wrinkles in the forehead - 4What is the occipitalis (muscle) and what does it do?occipitalis:
- back of the epicranius
- draws the scalp backward - 5What are the temporalis (muscles) and what do they do?temporalis:
- sides of the epicranius
- as one of the "chewing muscles", aids in mastication by coordinating with the masseter to open and close the mouth and bring the jaw forward or backward - 6What is the epicranius (muscle)?epicranius:
(aka "occipitofrontalis")
- broad muscle that covers the top of the skull
- consists of the occipitalis and frontalis - 7What is the corrugator (muscle) and what does it do?corrugator:
- an eyebrow muscle located beneath the frontalis and orbicularis oculi.
- draws the eyebrow down and wrinkles the forehead vertically - 8What is the orbicularis oculi (muscle) and what does it do?orbicularis oculi:
- an eyebrow muscle that is the ring of the eye socket
- it closes the eyes - 9What is the levator palpebrae superioris (muscle) and what does it do?levator palpebrae superioris:
- an eyebrow muscle that controls the eyelid and can be easily damaged during makeup applicattion. - 10What are the (3) muscles of the ear?the (3) muscles of the ear are called "auricularis muscles"
- 11What are the auricularis (muscles) and what do they do?auricularis:
- 3 muscles of the ear
- they work together to move the ear upward, forward or backward - 12What are the (3) muscles of the eyebrow?corrugator
orbicularis oculi
levator palpebrae superioris muscle - 13What are the (2) primary muscles of the nose?procerus
nasalis - 14What does the procerus (muscle) on the nose do?procerus:
- lowers the eyebrows and causes wrinkles across the bridge of the nose. - 15What does the nasalis (muscle) on the nose do?nasalis
-a two-part muscle that covers the nose and includes the "transverse" part and the "alar" part, which flair the nostrils. - 16What do the corrugator and procerus (muscles) make up and why is this important for estheticians?corrugator + procerus = glabella
these are the muscles that are often injected with the neuromodulator, Botox, to stop frowning. A neuromodulator inhibits a muscle's movements. - 17What is the buccinator (muscle) and what does it do?buccinator:
- an important mouth muscle that is a thin, flat muscle of the cheek between the upper and lower jaw
- compresses the cheeks and expels air, as in when blowing a whistle - 18What is the triangularis (muscle) and what does it do?triangularis:
aka "depressor anguli oris"
- an important mouth muscle
- extends alongside the chin
- pulls down the corners of the mouth - 19What is the depressor anguli oris (muscle) and what does it do?depressor anguli oris:
aka triangularis
- an important mouth muscle
- extends alongside the chin
- pulls down the corners of the mouth - 20What is the mentalis (muscle) and what does it do?mentalis
- an important mouth muscle
- elevates the lower lip and raises + wrinkles the skin of the chin - 21What is the orbicularis oris (muscle) and what does it do?orbicularis oris:
- an important mouth muscle
- flat band around the upper and lower lips
- compresses, contracts, puckers, and wrinkles the lips - 22What is the levator anguli oris (muscle) and what does it do?levator anguli oris:
- an important mouth muscle
- associated w/ smiling - 23What is the risorius (muscle) and what does it do?risorius:
- an important mouth muscle
- draws the corners of the mouth out + back when grinning - 24What is the levator labii superioris (muscle) and what does it do?levator labii superioris:
also "quadratus labii superioris"
- an important mouth muscle
- associated with lifting the wings of the nose and upper lip - 25What is the quadratus labii superioris (muscle) and what does it do?quadratus labii superioris
aka "levator labii superioris"
- an important mouth muscle
- associated with lifting the wings of the nose and upper lip - 26What is the zygomaticus major and minor (muscles) and what do they do?zygomaticus major and minor:
- important mouth muscles
- muscle that extend fromt he zygomatic bone to the angle of the mouth
- work together to elevate the lip, as in laughing - 27What are the main muscles of mastication?masseter
temporalis - 28What is the masseter (muscle) and what does it do?masseter:
- as one of the "chewing muscles", aids in mastication by coordinating with the masseter to open and close the mouth and bring the jaw forward or backward - 29What do the masseter and temporalis (muscles) make up and why is this important for estheticians?masseter + temporalis = the "chewing muscles"
estheticians need to know the location of these muscles when performing facial massage and electrical modality treatments - 30What are the (2) muscles of the neck?platysma
sternocleidomastoid - 31What is the platysma (muscle) and what does it do?platysma:
- a neck muscle that is broad and extends from the chest and shoulder muscles to the side of the chin
- lowers the lower jaw and lip - 32What is the sternocleidomastoid (muscle) and what does it do?sternocleidomastoid:
- a neck muscle
- extends from the ear to the collarbone
- rotates the head from side to side and up and down - 33What is the latissimus dorsi (muscle) and what does it do?latissimus dorsi:
- a back muscle
- a large, flat, triangular muscle that covers the lower back; it comes from the lower 1/2 of the vertebral column and iliac crest (hip bone) and narrows to a rounded tendon attached to the front of the upper part of the humerus
- attaches the arm to the body - 34What is the pectoralis major and minor (muscles) and what does it do?pectoralis major and minor:
