Anatomy and Structure of Lips

The document presents an overview of the structure and muscles of the lips, detailing their anatomy, including the vermillion zone, frenulum, and various muscle groups involved in lip movement. Key muscles such as the orbicularis oris, levator labii superioris, and zygomaticus are described along with their origins, insertions, and functions. Additionally, it distinguishes between nasolabial folds and marionette lines, providing a comprehensive understanding of lip anatomy and function.

The lips are two mobile musculofibrous folds that surround opening of mouth.
The upper and lower lips meet laterally at an angle of the mouth , usually in front of first premolar tooth.
The lips are lined externally by the skin and internally by mucous membrane .
The mucocutaneous junction lines the edge of the lip . only a part of the mucosal surface is normally seen .
The red portion of lip is called vermillion zone , the red hue is due to rich vascular bed visible through thin moist
epithelium .
The skin and vermillion zone meet at the vermillion border.
The internal aspect of each lip is connected to the corresponding gum by a median fold of the mucus membrane
called frenulum of lip .
A cupid ‘s bow that consists of two convex curve usually with recurved ends.
The upper lip has a depression at its center, directly under the nasal septum, called the
philtrum.
At the extremity of the philtrum is a small elevation called the tubercle.
The upper lip has a depression at its center, directly under the nasal septum, called the
philtrum.

Platysma

Origin:
Fibers arising from the fascia of the upper
thorax including the clavicle, acromial
region, pectoralis major and deltoid
muscles.

Insertion:
The muscle inserts on the mandible, the cheek skin,
the commissure of the mouth, the orbicularis oris
muscle, to the posterior border of the depressor anguli
oris muscle, and in some cases higher as high as the
orbicularis oculi muscle.

Function:
• elevation of the neck
• Pulling the corners of the lips out to the side and
down
• Opens the mouth
