**Diagram Explanation:**
**Left Diagram:**
This is an anatomical illustration of the superficial muscles of the head and neck, viewed from the left side. Key labeled muscles include:
- *Occipitofrontalis (Epicranius)*: Forehead area, raises eyebrows.
- *Orbicularis Oculi*: Surrounds the eyes, involved in blinking.
- *Orbicularis Oris*: Encircles the mouth, involved in puckering lips.
- *Zygomaticus*: Attached around the cheek, raises corners of the mouth (smiling).
- *Buccinator*: Located in the cheek area.
- *Platysma*: Superficial neck muscle involved in expressions like frowning.
**Right Diagrams:**
These photos demonstrate actions of select facial muscles with individual expressions:
1. **Frontal belly of Occipitofrontalis**: Raising eyebrows.
2. **Corrugator Supercilii**: Frowning, drawing eyebrows together.
3. **Orbicularis Oculi**: Blinking or closing the eyes tightly.
4. **Zygomaticus Major**: Smiling by elevating the mouth corners.
5. **Orbicularis Oris**: Puckering or closing lips tightly.
6. **Mentalis**: Pouting by moving chin forward.
7. **Platysma**: Tensing neck skin or lowering jaw.
These images and diagrams provide a visual guide to understanding the roles of different facial muscles in expressions.
