Question: 1 / 400

What does the orbicularis oculi muscle do?

Raises the eyebrows

Circles the eye socket and closes the eyelid

The orbicularis oculi muscle is responsible for closing the eyelids and protecting the eye. While it is true that the eyebrows can also move due to the muscle's proximity, they are raised by a different muscle, the occipitofrontalis. The orbicularis oculi muscle does not contract and pucker the lips, nor does it draw the brows down or wrinkle the nose bridge. Those actions are achieved by other muscles, such as the orbicularis oris and the procerus muscles, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is B.
