Looking at details of facial anatomy





Today's task on the workbench had me running for more detail in the anatomy textbooks, as I worked on modelling up nasal cartilage that was both accurate and idiosyncratic, and lip muscles that did justice to the interlacing of muscle fibres into other muscle fibres and skin tissue that seems to happen . Buccinator was a surprise to me , being larger and shapelier than I had seen on specimens in the DR, and the accessory cartilages shown in the netter drawing of the nasal structure , while perhaps subject of individual variations, make me want to go back again and look at my embryological development books. They make me think of a coelacanth....
Some useful illustrations and resources here:
