Definition
The temple-crown-muscle belongs to the mimic musculature and stretches here the tendon plate, which serves several muscles for the approach. It moves the scalp backwards.
History
Base: Tendon plate of the skull (Galea aponeurotica) Origin: above the ear on the tendon of the temporal muscle Innervation: N. facialis
Function
The temple-crown muscle runs along both sides of the skull and tightens the scalp, since it pulls the so-called tendon plate (Galea aponeurotica) backwards.
