B: Zygomaticus Minor
facial artery
26
O: Orbicularis Oris
fibers derived from other facial muscles (buccinator, levators, and depressors of lips and angles, zygomatic muscles) pass into lips; also some intrinsic muscle fibers make up orbicularis oris
27
I: Orbicularis Oris
several strata of muscle fibers form a sphincter-like muscle with fibers that decussate at the angles of the mouth
28
A: Orbicularis Oris
closes the lips; and its deep fibers can press the lips against the teeth, also it protrudes the lips and is important in speech
29
N: Orbicularis Oris
buccal branch of the facial nerve (VII)
30
B: Orbicularis Oris
facial artery
31
O: Buccinator
alveolar processes of mandible and maxilla opposite upper and lower molar teeth; posteriorly, it arises from the pterygomandibular raphe opposite superior constrictor
32
I: Buccinator
fibers course forward to blend into the formation of the orbicularis oris, decussating at the angles of the mouth
33
A: Buccinator
compresses the cheeks during chewing, also compresses the distended cheeks as in blowing a horn(!)
34
N: Buccinator
buccal branch of the facial nerve (VII)
35
B: Buccinator
facial artery
36
O: Orbicularis Oculi
medial palpebral ligament, nasal part of the frontal bone; frontal process of maxilla
37
I: Orbicularis Oculi
cross the eyelids and interlace to form the lateral palpebral raphe, froms ellipse around orbit without being interrupted on the lateral side
38
A: Orbicularis Oculi
closes the eyelids gently as in sleeping and blinking, closes the eyelids when a more forceful contraction is necessary as in winking one eye
39
N: Orbicularis Oculi
temporal and zygomatic branches of the facial nerve (VII)
40
B: Orbicularis Oculi
opthalmic artery
41
O: Levator Palpebrae Superioris
inferior aspect of lesser wing of sphenoid bone
42
I: Levator Palpebrae Superioris
medial and lateral walls of the orbit, superior tarsus
43
A: Levator Palpebrae Superioris
elevates the eyelid
44
N: Levator Palpebrae Superioris
occulomotor nerve (III)
45
B: Levator Palpebrae Superioris
branches of opthalmic artery
46
O: Superior Rectus
common annular tendon (which comes off the body and lesser wing of sphenoid), margins of the optic canal
47
I: Superior Rectus
posterior to the sclerocorneal junction (each muscle inserting along its own directional axis)
48
A: Superior Rectus
elevates, medially rotates, adducts the eye
49
N: Superior Rectus
occulomotor nerve (III)
50
B: Superior Rectus
branches of opthalmic artery
51
O: Inferior Rectus
common annular tendon (which comes off the body and lesser wing of sphenoid), margins of the optic canal
52
I: Inferior Rectus
posterior to the sclerocorneal junction (each muscle inserting along its own directional axis)
53
A: Inferior Rectus
depress, laterally rotates, adducts the eye
54
N: Inferior Rectus
occulomotor nerve (III)
55
B: Inferior Rectus
branches of opthalmic artery
56
O: Medial Rectus
common annular tendon (which comes off the body and lesser wing of sphenoid), margins of the optic canal
57
I: Medial Rectus
posterior to the sclerocorneal junction (each muscle inserting along its own directional axis)
58
A: Medial Rectus
adducts eye
59
N: Medial Rectus
occulomotor nerve (III)
60
B: Medial Rectus
branches of opthalmic artery
61
O: Lateral Rectus
common annular tendon (which comes off the body and lesser wing of sphenoid), margins of the optic canal
62
I: Lateral Rectus
posterior to the sclerocorneal junction (each muscle inserting along its own directional axis)
63
A: Lateral Rectus
abducts eye
64
N: Lateral Rectus
abducens nerve (VI)
65
B: Lateral Rectus
branches of opthalmic artery
66
O: Superior Oblique
body of sphenoid
67
I: Superior Oblique
upper lateral quadrant of the posterior half of the sclera (via the trochlea, as a pulley)
68
A: Superior Oblique
depress, medially rotates, abducts the eye
69
N: Superior Oblique
trochlear nerve (IV)
70
B: Superior Oblique
branches of opthalmic artery
71
O: Inferior Oblique
orbital surface of maxilla
72
I: Inferior Oblique
lower lateral quadrant of the posterior half of the sclera (via the suspensory ligament, as a pulley)
73
A: Inferior Oblique
elevates, laterally rotates, abducts the eye
74
N: Inferior Oblique
occulomotor nerve (III)
75
B: Inferior Oblique
branches of opthalmic artery
