Our Facial Muscles!!!


Do you inquire how we can change our facial expressions? Do you realize that the interpretations of facial expressions can provide an idea of the variety of information that can be derived from nonverbal communication?!
Aha! Now I would like to share with you how we can change our facial expression. Thanks to Allah who made for us such a worthy gift; a facial muscles! Because by these muscles then we can laugh, talk, eat and etc. Do you ever wonder what your facial muscles are?
Actually, the facial muscles are a group of striated muscles innervated by the facial nerve that, among other things, control facial expression. These muscles are also called mimetic muscles.
The muscles are like elastic sheets that are stretched in layers over the cranium, facial bones, the openings they form, and the cartilage, fat, and other tissues of the head. These are the muscles of facial expression, acting singly and in combination.
For the structure of the muscles ,they are innervated by cranial nerve VII, also known as the facial nerve. In contrast, the nearby masticatory muscles are innervated by the mandibular nerve, a branch of the trigeminal nerve.
Corresponding to the several sources of expressive information in the face are the many nonverbal communication messages that the face can provide. Some of these messages are validly related to characteristics of the person behind the face, some are fabrications of the viewer unrelated to the real person, and others lie somewhere between these two extremes. Much of the research on the face is centered on discovering the messages that fit into these different categories. Another perspective on the range of facial messages is to consider objective description, such as a list of physical anatomical measurements, as an anchor for veridical information, and ever more abstract generalizations or inferences about characteristics more remote from these specific observations becoming increasingly difficult to verify.
To sum up, the most important source of change in facial expression is the set of muscular movements produced by facial muscles, which provide the most substantial changes in facial appearance over short time durations and contribute most to nonverbal communication by the face.


Got to go! Bye…….
