Objectives Of Today’s Session
• Extent of face
• Brief outline of Layers of face
• Muscles of face
• Facial expressions
• Arterial supply of face
• Venous drainage of face
• Nerve supply of face
Introduction
Extent
• Above by hair line
of scalp
• Below by chin and
base of mandible
• On each side by the
auricle
 Skin and superficial fascia
• Highly vascular Parotid fascia
• Rich in sebaceous and
sweat gland
• Skin is thick elastic and
provides attachment to
facial muscles
• Superficial fascia contains
facial muscles, vessels ,
nerves and fat
• Deep fascia absent
Muscles of face
• Subcutaneous
• Morphologically remnants
of panniculus carnosus
• Derived from mesoderm of
second branchial arch
• Arranged in groups around
orifices
• Primary function is to
regulate orifices
• Facial expression – highly
developed psychic area of
brain
