warning

"The facial muscles, also known as the muscles of facial expression or mimetic muscles (TA: musculi faciales), enable facial expression and serve as sphincters and dilators of the orifices of the face. These muscles differ from those of other regions in the body as there is no fascia deep to the skin of the face; many of the facial muscles insert directly into the skin 1. The fibres from many of the muscles also pass into/through the modiolus."

Line 1:145 · 'TA' has no definition. Spell it out if it's unfamiliar to the audience.
