f. Chewing muscles that help in chewing are temporalis, medial pterygoid, lateral pterygoid, and masseter. g. Swallowing muscles that help in swallowing are suprahyoid and muscles of the pharynx. The pharynx is pulled upward and forward by the stylopharyngeus, salpingopharyngeus, palatopharyngeus, and thyroid muscles. h. Nodding the head "yes." i. Shaking the head "no." j. Tilting the head to look up toward the sky. k. Tilting the head to the side (bringing the ear to the shoulder). 3. Bell's Palsy results from damage to the facial nerves. If innervation to the facial nerves ceases, which muscles would be affected? Which actions of the face would be affected?

The orbicularis oris is the primary muscle that depresses the corners of your mouth. The zygomaticus major is the primary muscle that elevates the corners of your mouth. The platysma is the relatively large, circular muscle that surrounds the neck.
