	buccinator muscle (anatomy) - General Practice Notebook (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
		Buccinator is one of the muscles of the cheeks and lips.
		Deep to the muscle is the mucous membrane of the cheek.
		It is not a primary muscle of mastication - it does not move the jaw - and this is reflected in its motor innervation from the facial nerve.

	Buccinator muscle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The buccinator compresses the cheeks against the teeth and is used in acts such as blowing.
		It is an assistant muscle of mastication (chewing).
		The Buccinator is a thin quadrilateral muscle, occupying the interval between the maxilla and the mandible at the side of the face.

	RDH - Muscles of the Head and Neck: A Review
		The muscles of the head and neck region are divided into several groups: cervical muscles, muscles of facial expression, muscles of mastication, hyoid muscles, and muscles of the tongue, pharynx, and soft palate.
		The temporalis muscle is a broad, fan-shaped muscle that elevates and retracts the mandible.
		2 The muscles of the soft palate are the palatoglossus, palatophyngeus, levator veli palatine, tensor veli palatine, and the uvula.

		The Frontalis muscle (F) arises from the Galea aponeurotica near the coronal suture, inserts onto the supercilliary ridge of the frontal bone, and interdigitates with fibers of the Procerus, Corrugator, Depressor supercilli, and Orbicularis oculi muscles.
		The antagonists of the Frontalis muscle are the central brow depressors consisting of the Procerus, Corrugator, and Depressor supercilli muscles and the lateral depressor of the brow, the superolateral portion of the pre-orbital Orbicularis oculi (Figure 3-4).

	Dissection of the opossum face, BAA 289L 2004
		The facial musculature is considered “primitive” in that it is closer to the condition in non-mammals--few independent muscles have differentiated and the superficial musculature appears as a single sheet of muscle overlying the face [1].
		The superficial muscles responsible for moving the pinnae were easily visible as thin reddish sheets of muscle with prominent fibers. These muscles include: the cervicoauricularis superficialis, cervicoauricularis medius, and interscutularis muscles. The interscutularis muscles are the most extensive and the most rostral.
		We did a superficial examination of the suprahyoid muscles. The anterior bellies of the digastric muscle are large and located on the lateral sides of the lower jaw. The mylohyoid muscle is rostral and medial to it. A small portion of the geniohyoid muscle is visible rostral to the mylohyoid muscle.

		The orbicularis oris is a circular-appearing muscle that extends posteriorly from the buccinator muscle, with upper and lower muscle fibers inserting into the upper and lower lip.
		The buccinator, combined secondarily with the masseter muscle, serves to tighten the cheeks during mastication and swallowing, inhibiting buccal pocketing.
		When the goal of treatment is to increase symmetry of contraction of the orbicularis oris and buccinator muscles, as in the case of unilateral cerebral infarcts, biofeedback can be used to assist the patient in matching the weakened musculature to the stronger intact side.

		The correct response is Option A. Because the buccinator muscle is sandwiched between the facial artery and the oral mucosa, it must be included in a facial artery musculomucosal flap.
		The buccinator muscle originates from the pterygomandibular raphe and inserts into the orbicularis oris muscle and mucosa of the lateral lip elements.
		The orbicularis oris muscle is anterior to the plane of dissection for the facial artery musculomucosal flap.

		Buccinator originates in the maxilla and mandible in the area of the molar teeth and inserts into various muscles at the corner of the mouth.
		It acts to compress the cheeks tight to the teeth, and tighten and pull the lip corners inwards and somewhat laterally, often dimpling the cheeks.
		Buccinator is innervated by the deep buccal branches of the facial nerve (VII) and is supplied with blood by the maxillary and facial arteries.

		380) is a thin quadrilateral muscle, occupying the interval between the maxilla and the mandible at the side of the face.
		Some of the Buccinator fibers—namely, those near the middle of the muscle—decussate at the angle of the mouth, those arising from the maxilla passing to the lower lip, and those from the mandible to the upper lip.
		The Buccinators compress the cheeks, so that, during the process of mastication, the food is kept under the immediate pressure of the teeth.

		The muscles of opposite sides are separated at their insertions by the median fibrous septum of the tongue; in front, they are more or less blended owing to the decussation of fasciculi in the median plane.
