Voorbeelden van orbicularis

• The zona orbicularis acts like a buttonhole on the femoral head and assists in maintaining the contact in the joint.

• The zona orbicularis assists in maintaining the contact in the joint by acting like a buttonhole on the femoral head.

• As a result of the orbicularis oculi weakness, patients may suffer from exposure keratopathy (damage to cornea) from the inability to close the eyes tightly.

• The main muscles, in the upper eyelid, that control the opening and closing are the orbicularis oculi and levator palpebrae superioris muscle.

• For example: compression to the facial nerve causes a lesion and the set of axons that innervates the orbicularis oris (mouth muscle) degenerate.

• This time though, only 50% of the set of axons that innervate the orbicularis oris successfully reinnervate the original site.

• As time progresses, it spreads to the whole lid, then to the orbicularis oris muscle around the lips, and buccinator muscle in the cheekbone area.

• Four such muscles that were activated were the orbicularis oculi, zygomaticus, the corrugator, and levator.

• The orbicularis oculi muscles are often examined in patients with facial paralysis.

• This is the kingdom of "emis orbicularis", the indigenous green turtle.

• Deep/full thickness defects include the underlying muscles, primarily the orbicularis oris.

• In conjunction with orbicularis contraction, the mentalis muscle allows the lips to pout.

• It occurs when the hard palate is tickled, resulting in contraction of the orbicularis oris muscle and lowering of the upper lip.

• The orbicularis oculi closes the eye, while the contraction of the levator palpebrae muscle opens the eye.

• The other half aberrantly branched off and innervated the orbicularis oculi (eye muscle).
