Mammalian facial muscles contain muscle spindles

The Anatomical Record, 2023
AbstractMuscle spindles are sensory receptors in skeletal muscle that provide information on muscle length and velocity of contraction. Previous studies noted that facial muscles lack muscle spindles, but recent reports indicate that the human platysma muscle and “buccal” muscles contain spindles.

Photogrammetry of the Muscles of Facial Expression

Cells Tissues Organs, 1988
The present study has attempted to determine the volume, square measure as well as length, width and thickness of the individual muscles of facial expression by photogrammetry. 15 fresh male head specimens were employed for a careful dissection of muscle layers. The volume was measured using the immersion procedure.

Quantitative ultrasonography of facial muscles

Muscle & Nerve, 2013
Introduction: There is no standardized method for examination of facial muscles with ultrasound. The purpose of this study was to identify those facial muscles accessible for reliable identification and to provide reference data. Methods: In healthy subjects all facial muscles were screened for visibility, separation from adjacent muscles, and ...

Sonoanatomy of the muscles of facial expression

Surgical and Radiologic Anatomy, 1988
Primary anatomic studies served for identification and differentiation of the individual mimetic muscles. As a second step, we investigated the clinical potential of ultrasound imaging to visualize the mimetic musculature in 15 volunteers. This examination technique was used to diagnose pathological alterations, especially associated with facial palsy.

Myoglobinopathy affecting facial and oropharyngeal muscles

Neuromuscular Disorders, 2022
Myoglobinopathy is a rare autosomal dominant myopathy that manifests in adulthood with proximal and axial weakness and variable respiratory and cardiac failure. Muscle pathology features associated with myoglobinopathy include characteristic sarcoplasmic bodies in skeletal and cardiac muscles.

FACIAL PARALYSIS AND MUSCLE-RELAXANT ANESTHESIA

Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1956
THE FOLLOWING case report is presented primarily to forewarn otologists of the insidious danger of using succinylcholine-drip muscle-relaxant anesthesia in any surgical procedure where the identification of the seventh cranial nerve is important to its preservation. REPORT OF CASE A 32-year-old woman had chronic left mastoiditis of 10 years' duration.

Anatomy and Functions of the Muscles of Facial Expression

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Clinics of North America, 2005
The public yearning for cosmetic procedures is stronger now than ever before. More and more doctors from various specialties are performing these procedures. Because muscular facial activity is one of the major forces responsible for the formation of wrinkles, an intimate knowledge of facial muscular anatomy is necessary to consistently produce ...
