What is the function of the Triangularis muscle?

  1. Draws mouth down as in sadness

  2. Controls eyebrows

  3. Covers the scalp

  4. Supplies blood to the face

The correct answer is: Draws mouth down as in sadness

This muscle is commonly known as the "frown muscle" as its main function is to draw the corners of the mouth down, creating a frowning expression. Option B is incorrect because it is the Occipitofrontalis muscle that controls the eyebrows. Option C is incorrect because the muscle that covers the scalp is the Epicranius muscle. Option D is incorrect because that function is fulfilled by the facial artery.
