Question

muscles of the face insert into skin

true
false

Explanation:

Identify the core anatomical question

The question asks whether the statement "Muscles of the face insert into skin" is True or False.

Analyze muscle attachment rules

Using the Skeletal Muscle Physiology knowledge point, we know most skeletal muscles attach to bones via tendons. However, facial muscles are unique because they control facial expressions.

Examine facial muscle insertions

Facial muscles (muscles of facial expression) originate on the bones of the skull or fascia, but insert directly into the collagen fibers of the dermis (the skin) or other muscles. This allows them to pull on the skin to create expressions.

Determine the final truth value

Since facial muscles insert into the skin to allow facial expressions, the statement is True.

Answer:

• True (Correct answer)
• False
