Editor's Notes
- Facial wrinkles are caused by contraction of the underlying facial muscles.
- Facial wrinkles are caused by contraction of the underlying facial muscles. You can see this in more detail from the magnified slide.
- Botox reversibly blocks the transmission of impulses between the nerve and the muscle by blocking the release of acetylcholine, the neurotransmitter.
- Contraction of the frontalis muscle causes wrinkles of the forehead.
- Contraction of the corrugator muscles causes the frown lines.
- Contraction of the orbicularis muscle, which is a sphincter muscle that surrounds the eye, causes the ‘crow’s feet’ wrinkles.
