Description
The Temporoparietalis muscle is a small muscle located in the temporal region of the head, which covers the sides and top of the skull. It extends from the temporal fascia to the outer edge of the parietal bone.
The exact function of the temporoparietalis muscle is not well understood, and it is considered to be a vestigial muscle with little or no function in modern humans. Some studies suggest that it may play a minor role in facial expressions and head movements.
Despite its minimal role in facial expression and head movement, the Temporoparietalis muscle is important for maintaining the overall structure and shape of the head. It provides support to the scalp and helps to maintain the proper position of the hairline.
