Facial Markings Flashcards
Vertical grooves on the central plane of the upper integumentary lip skin portion of the lip above the Obicularis oris muscle
What is the philtrum?
The natural prominence of the anterior part of the cheek, which descends from the wing of the nose to side the mouth. Caused by the elevator, angular orris muscle in conjunction with the quadratic, le bi, superiors muscle, and as zygomaticus major muscle.
What is the nasolabial fold?
This angular area is formed by the junction of the nasal wing in the nasolabial fold lying medial, and adjacent to the Fold… it is very short, and it does not extend.
What is the nasal sulcus?
The shallow groove originating from the inner campus. Usually this is the boundary of the orbital pouch..
What is the oblique palpebral sulcus?
The small convex prominence, which begins on the upper integumentary lip. It is lateral to the end of the line of closure, and is considered to be shaped like a kidney bean. The muscles which contribute to this are the Buccinator, the depressor anguli oris, (triangularis) the levator anguli oris and the zygomaticus major muscle.
What is the angulus Oris eminence?
A small triangular depression lined within the angulus oris eminence at the corners of the mouth. It starts being triangular at youth and sags, imperially and old age. It is caused by the depressor labii inferioris muscle, a.k.a. quadratus.
What is the angulus oris sulcus?
This is the groove at the junction of the lower integumentary lip and the chin
What is the labiomental sulcus?
This is the junction of the base of the chin and the submandibular area (lies immediately under the chin)
What is the submental sulcus?
The shallow depressions are found in the soft tissue of the cheeks, and the chin is caused by the mentalis muscle, the masseter and the Buccinator muscles
What are dimples?
This acquired facial marking is a furrow that develops along the margins of nasal labial folds caused by the levator anguli oris and the quadratus labii superiors.
What is a nasolabial sulcus?
These horizontal photos cross the forehead to create lines
We are transfers, frontal sulci?
These vertical or horizontal acquired facial markings are between the eyebrows. There are two types (transverse and vertical) both which are formed by the Orbicularis oculi muscle.
What are interciliary sulci?

What are optic facial sulci?
This furrow of the upper border of the upper eyelid develops along this crevice where the eyelid moves when opened and closed. This is caused by the Levator Palpabrae superior in the Obicularis oculi muscle.
What is the superior palpebral sulcus
The furrow of the lower border of the lower eye is caused by the Obicularis oris muscle.
What is the inferior palpebral sulcus?
This vertical furrow in the soft tissue of the cheek, is formed by the buccinator muscle (trumpeters muscle), and is also caused by the masseter muscle
What is the bucco-facial sulcus.
This furrow, which originates below the jawline mandible and extends vertically upwards to the cheek. It lies laterally to the nasolabial fold, and the nap labial, sulcus and posterior to the submental sulcus. It is caused by the masseter muscle.
What is the mandibular sulcus?
This great dipping, furrows runs horizontally across the neck. It is commonly referred to as the double chin. They are caused by two platysma muscles.
What is the platysmal sulcus?
This is tissue sagging, convexly up and down the neck vertically. It can be in the form of one singular narrow triangle of flesh behind the chin, or it can be in the form of two vertical convex ridges with a lack of adipose tissue between them …the two ridges are due to rapid weight loss. This is caused by the digastricus muscle.
What are cords of the neck?
Pharaohs of age, known as smokers mouth is caused by the Obi is orris muscle, and it is an acquired furrow that crosses the mucus membrane and integumentary portion of the upper and lower lips.
