MUSCULUS SUBCUTANEUS COLLI Meaning and Definition

1. The musculus subcutaneus colli, also known as the platysma muscle, is a thin, broad muscle located in the subcutaneous tissue of the neck. It is superficially positioned just beneath the skin, covering the front of the neck and extending from the chest upwards to the lower jaw. The term "musculus subcutaneus colli" is derived from the Latin words "musculus" (meaning muscle), "subcutaneus" (meaning beneath the skin), and "colli" (referring to the neck).

   The main function of the musculus subcutaneus colli is to control the movements of the lower jaw, mouth, and lower lip. When it contracts, it helps in lowering the jaw and drawing down the corners of the mouth, creating facial expressions such as grimacing or frowning. Additionally, it plays a role in bringing stability to the neck by supporting the underlying structures.

   The musculus subcutaneus colli is innervated by the facial nerve (cranial nerve VII), which branches out to the muscle fibers. Its blood supply is primarily provided by branches of the facial artery.

   Overall, the musculus subcutaneus colli is an important muscle in the neck that contributes to facial expressions and neck stability. Understanding its structure and function is essential in various fields such as anatomy, physiology, and facial reconstructive surgeries.
