Muscles around the ear

The remains of human ear musculature are a classic example of vestigial organs. As you know, people moving their ears are quite rare. However, there are three small muscles that lie just under the skin around the ear. These muscles have little effect on the face, but they are associated with other muscles that are used in the exercise program. It is very important to know how they are operated in order to achieve good results in shaping the face.

The ear muscles include three muscles: anterior, posterior, and superior. The starting point of the ear muscles is the tendon helmet, and the attachment point is the skin of the auricle.

anterior ear muscle(m. anterior auricularis) is the smallest muscle of the ear.

It starts from the temple, heading back and down, narrows somewhat and attaches to the skin of the auricle above the tragus. Thin, funny shape, it contributes to the displacement of the ears forward and upward.

superior ear muscle(m. superior auricularis) is the most big muscle ear.

It is located next to the previous one: it starts above the auricle, goes down and is attached to the upper cartilage of the auricle. Its function is to move the ears upward and pull on the tendon helmet. Although you may not be able to do this movement, you should visualize your ears going up as you do the exercises. Don't be embarrassed if you don't see or feel them move. When training surrounding muscles, just visualize that muscle movement.

posterior ear muscle(m. posterior auricularis) is located at the base of the auricle, pulls the auricle back, although it is very poorly developed. Try to imagine that your ears are moving backwards, as if you are stretching your face. This will come in handy during your training.

Secrets of the auricle In a healthy person, the shape of the ears is always correct, they are located symmetrically, the bending lines are pronounced, the lobes are well developed. Gerontologists, examining centenarians, noticed that the vast majority of them have a large auricle,

Atavisms and rudiments in humans are considered as one of the arguments of evolutionary theory. Body parts that were formed in the ancestors of modern humans under the pressure of the environment, but now have become unnecessary. Organs that have lost their original significance in the process of human evolution are called rudimentary. , which were characteristic of distant ancestors, but were absent from relatives, is called atavism.

List of main rudiments:

ear muscles;
wisdom teeth;
coccyx;
appendix;
pyramidal muscle;
epicanthus.

Rudiments of modern man

The appendix is the remnant of an organ that, in the ancestors of humans, had digestive functions. Now the appendix can protect against the loss of symbiotic bacteria that help the body's digestion. However, he probably possessed this function in the ancestors of man.

The auricular muscles are the temporoparietal, anterior and posterior muscles. They allow you to move different sides auricle. Modern man does without moving its ears, but in some representatives of the homosapiens species this ability is pronounced.

In modern monkeys, especially macaques, the ear muscles are much better developed. This is because primates use them to be alerted to danger. But the ear muscles of chimpanzees and orangutans, like those of humans, became minimally developed and non-functional, but did not completely disappear.

Wisdom teeth are designed to chew tough and hard plant foods. It is believed that the ancestors of people had more powerful jaws, which gave them the ability to chew on foliage. Thorough chewing compensated for the inability to digest the cellulose that was part of the plant food. Changes in the structure of nutrition led to the fact that less strong jaws were formed naturally. But the wisdom teeth survived. In a new generation of people, wisdom teeth began to erupt less often, which confirms the evolutionary theory of rudiments. Due to the uselessness and even harmfulness of these parts of the body, there is the possibility of surgical removal of wisdom teeth.

Interestingly, in different nations, the development of wisdom teeth does not coincide. The Tasmanians retained powerful jaws and well-developed wisdom teeth. In Mexico, on the contrary, they almost do not grow.

The coccyx is the remnant of a rudimentary tail, which all mammals had at different periods of development. During prenatal development, a human fetus has a tail for about four weeks. It is most noticeable in embryos that are between 31 and 35 days old. The tail bone, located at the end of the spine, has lost its importance in promoting balance and mobility. Now the coccyx retains its value as an attachment point for muscles, tendons and ligaments. Sometimes a birth defect causes a person to have a short tail at birth.

Since 1884, 23 babies have been born with a tail. In all other respects, these children were normal. All of them had their tails surgically removed, and these children continued their normal human lives.

In the inner corner of the eye there is a small fold, lunate. It is a remnant of the nictitating membrane, a translucent or transparent third eyelid that allows some animal species to moisten the eye without losing visibility. In cats, seals, polar bears and camels, the nictitating membrane is completely preserved. Other mammals have only its rudiments.

Atavisms of modern people

A person in the months of his prenatal development partially goes through the evolutionary path of his ancestors. It is known that human embryos different weeks existence resemble the evolutionary ancestors of humans. In some cases, atavistic signs may persist in a born child.

Some genes that have disappeared phenotypically may not disappear from human DNA. They remain dormant for generations. The lack of genetic control can lead to the revival of dormant genes in an individual. It can also be caused by external stimulation.

One of the most striking examples of atavism is hairline. The common ancestors of humans and monkeys had bodies covered with thick hair. And today it happens that the hairline of a person covers his entire body, leaving only the palms and soles of his feet smooth. It happens that both men and women have an extra pair of nipples - this is also a legacy of distant ancestors.

Sometimes microcephaly (a small head with normal proportions of the rest of the body) is also considered an atavism. Usually this pathology is accompanied by a lack of mental abilities of a person. Atavisms also include the cleft lip, an anomaly of human development, which they are trying to eliminate surgically.

Some human reflexes are also referred to as atavisms. Hiccups are a legacy of amphibian ancestors. She helped pass water through the gill slits. Newborns have a grasping reflex. It is considered an atavism that humans received from primate ancestors. So baby monkeys grabbed the wool of their mothers.

Atavisms and rudiments have partially changed, partially acquired a new meaning. It can be observed that some rudiments die off among peoples in whose environment they become unnecessary, but are preserved in others where these parts of the body have not become rudimentary.

Place of attachment: Anterior to the ear.
Action: Pulls the ear forward. Moves the scalp.
Innervation: Facial (VII) nerve (temporal branches).

Muscles of the auricle

The muscles of the auricle in humans are poorly developed. Few are able to move the auricle. There are 3 ear muscles: superior, anterior and posterior.

Superior auricular muscle (t. Auricularis superior) located in the temporal region of the head.

Start: from the lateral edge of the aponeurotic helmet and temporal fascia.

Attachment: very thin muscle bundles go down and attach to the skin of the auricle at its base.

Function: pulls the auricle upward.

Anterior ear muscle (i.e. Auricularis anterior) unstable, located in the temporal region in front of the auricle.

Start: from the temporal fascia.

Attachment: very thin muscle bundles, heading back and somewhat downward, are attached to the cartilage of the external auditory canal.

Function: pulls the auricle forward.

Posterior ear muscle(i.e. Auricularis posterior) located in the mastoid area.

Start: from the mastoid process.

Attachment: thin muscle bundles, heading forward, are attached to the posterior convex surface of the auricle at its base.

Function: pulls the ear back.

Blood supply: all ear muscles are supplied with blood by branches of the superficial temporal (anterior and superior muscles) and posterior auricular ( back muscle) arteries.

Muscles surrounding the eyelid gap

Circular muscle of the eye (t. Orbicularis oculi) has the form of a flat wide ring, located around the orbital entrance. The muscle has orbital, age-related and deep parts:

- Orbital part(pars orbitalis) it is represented by a wide plate surrounding the orbital entrance and is located on its bone edge;

Start: from the nasal part of the frontal bone, the frontal process and the anterior lacrimal crest of the upper jaw, with an average age relationship;

attachments: muscle bundles diverge up and down, directed to the side around the orbit; at the lateral edge of the orbit, the upper and lower bundles converge, forming a flat closed muscle ring; from above, the muscle bundles of the frontal abdomen of the occipital-frontal muscle and the wrinkling eyebrow muscle are woven into the deep bundles of the orbital part;

function: the orbital part of the muscle closes the eyes, while forming fan-shaped wrinkles on the skin of the orbital region; shifts the eyebrow down and at the same time pulls the skin of the cheek up.

- Age part(pars palpebralis) represented by two thin plates, lying under the skin of the upper and lower eyelids;

Start: from the medial age-related connection and the adjacent part of the orbit, as well as from the anterior wall of the lacrimal sac

attachments: muscle fibers go along the front surface of the upper and lower cartilages of the eyelids to the lateral corner of the eye, where they attach to the lateral age-related connection and the periosteum of the orbit;

function: the age-specific part of the muscle closes the eyelids, evenly distributes a tear over the anterior surface of the eyeball;

- deep part(pars profunda) when she was called lacrimal part (pars lacrimalis)- these are deep muscle bundles of the circular muscle of the eye;

Start: from the posterior lacrimal crest of the lacrimal bone and the posterior wall of the lacrimal sac

attachments: rounding the lacrimal sac behind, the fibers of this part of the muscle are woven into the age-specific part of the circular muscle of the eye and the wall of the lacrimal sac

function: muscle fibers contract, expand the lacrimal sac, facilitating the outflow of tears into the nasal cavity through the nasolacrimal duct.

The circular muscle of the eye as a whole is the closure of the palpebral fissure.

Blood supply: circular muscle The eye is supplied with blood by branches of the facial, superficial temporal, infraorbital, and supraorbital arteries.

Date of: 2016-05-23 Views: 17 772 Each of us has a friend who moves his ears coolly. Fun activities, it turns out very effective training. If you know how to move your ears and nose - I hasten to congratulate you, these skills are very useful for keeping muscles in good shape.

1. The nasal muscle (m.nasalis) consists of two parts: transverse and pterygoid. 2. The transverse part (pars transversa) narrows the wings of the nose and the opening of the nostrils. 3. The wing part (pars alaris) pulls the wing of the nose down and laterally, expanding the opening of the nose (nostrils). 4. There is also a muscle that lowers the nasal septum down.

The nose also consists of bones and cartilage, with age the muscles weaken, and under the influence of gravity, the tip of the nose drops and becomes massive. Therefore, by training the muscles of the nose, you can maintain its shape, improve its shape, reduce the width of the wings, and raise the tip.

How to wiggle your nose

All the exercises below are shown in this video: 1. Try to draw in air with your nostrils, repeat several times, now carefully look in the mirror, try to move only your nostrils, without connecting your forehead and other muscles, if your forehead does move, try to reduce the range of motion. Do not pinch your lips. 2. With the fingers of both hands, index and middle fingers, we fix the skin near the nose along the nasolabial zone and move the nose. Repeat 30 times. on the last count, make a static delay for 5 seconds and relax. 3. put a finger under the tip of the nose, try to put pressure on the finger with the tip of the nose. Repeat 30 times. On the last count, make a static delay for 5 seconds and relax.

The structure of the ear muscles

Ear muscles - divided into three: front, upper and back muscles.

1-Anterior auricular muscle (m.auricularis anterior) pulls the auricle forward.
2-Upper auricular muscle (m.auricularis superior) pulls the auricle upward.
3-Posterior auricular muscle (m.auricularis posterior) pulls the auricle back.

As a rule, the ear moves upward due to the tension of the upper ear muscle. Sometimes, it turns out to also involve the posterior ear muscle and the ear moves back. The ear muscles are also called the "muscles of youth", since when they work, the entire central part of the face is naturally tightened. In people with age, the ear changes shape, becomes larger, there is a vertical wrinkle, fold near the ear. To prevent this age change or correct the existing one, it is enough to learn how to move your ears.

How to wiggle ear muscles

1. Try putting on glasses, lowering them to the tip of your nose. Subconsciously try to put the glasses back in place with your ears. 2. Look in the mirror, smile. Are your ears moving? When smiling, a person often raises their ears or wiggles them along with the smile. 3. Try to raise your eyebrows. 4. Try not to focus on two ears at once, try to move, move one ear at a time. 5. Press the ears against the skull with your fingers and move them up and down 20-30 times. With each movement of the auricles upward, mentally imagine the contraction of the upper auricular muscle, try to feel it. Work with the anterior and posterior ear muscles in the same way, changing direction accordingly. P.S. I develop individual programs for Facebook building training, I conduct classes via Skype.
