| What is unique to the lacrimal bones? | lacrimal fossa |
| What does the lacrimal fossa do? | shuttles tears from the eyes into the nasal cavity |
| What forms the upper jaw bone? Is it a single bone or a pair of bones? | maxillae; paired |

| What is the action of the zygomaticus major? | draws modiolus superiorly & laterally |
| Describe zygomaticus minor. | runs from zygomatic bone to upper lip |
| What is the action of zygomaticus minor? | raises upper lip |
| Describe levator labii superioris. | runs from infraorbital foramen of maxilla to modiolus |
| Describe levator anguli oris. | runs from infraorbital to skin of upper lips |
| What is the action of levator anguli oris? | draws modiolus superiorly & laterally |
| Describe depressor labii inferioris. | runs from mandible to skin of lower lip |
| What is the action of the depressor labii inferioris? | depresses lower lip |
| Describe buccinator. | runs from maxilla & mandible to orbicularis oris (modiolus) |
| What is the action of the buccinator? | presses cheeks, helps move food around in mouth |
