Q. What does the buccinator attach to?
Buccinator muscle
| Origin | (External lateral surface of) Alveolar process of maxilla, buccinator ridge of mandible, pterygomandibular raphe |
|---|---|
| Insertion | Modiolus, blends with muscles of upper lip |
| Function | Compresses cheek against molar teeth |
| Innervation | Buccal branch of facial nerve (CN VII) |
Q. What nerve Innervates the buccinator muscle?
The Trigeminal Nerve The buccal nerve pierces the skin on the face behind the ramus of the mandible, passes in front of the masseter, and innervates the skin anteriorly of the buccinator muscle.
Q. What is the purpose of the buccinator muscle?
Buccinator muscle plays a role in stabilizing the denture by gripping the polished surface of the denture. Also, the longitudinal fibers hold the bolus of food between the teeth during mastication.
Q. Does the buccinator move the mandible?

Q. What actions can be performed by using the Buccinator muscle?
Q. What is the action of the orbicularis oris?
Orbicularis oris muscle
| Orbicularis oris | |
|---|---|
| Nerve | cranial nerve VII, buccal branch |
| Actions | It is sometimes known as the kissing muscle because it is used to pucker the lips. |

Q. Where does the inferior part of the buccinator originate?
The inferior part arises from the buccinator ridge of mandible, opposite to the three mandibular molar teeth. The posterior part of the buccinator originates from the anterior margin of pterygomandibular raphe, a tendinous band behind the third molar spanning from the pterygoid hamulus to the posterior end of the mylohyoid line.
Q. Is the buccinator part of the facial nerve?
The buccinator muscle is served by the buccal branch of cranial nerve VII, also known as the facial nerve. The buccinator is one of the first muscles that a human can control; the sucking reflex of a baby depends on it.
Q. What is the function of the buccinator in a baby?
Buccinator. The buccinator is one of the first muscles that a human can control; the sucking reflex of a baby depends on it. Smiling, chewing, and whistling are all dependent upon it, and speech would be difficult and slurred without its proper function.
