Step 3: Isolating Cheek and Neck/Throat Muscles

We chose to begin at the top of the body and work our way down towards the lower section.

We started out by finding the Masseter muscle which is located superficial to the jaw bone. Use scissors to cut up from the chin to expose the lateral side of the cheek. The Masseter muscle is the largest muscle in the cheek and is very superficial.























Neck/Throat Muscles:

The Sternohyoid muscle is located inferior to the chin. After clearing the connective tissue from the throat area, you should find the Sternohyoid. This muscle is symmetrical and is lateral to the Sternothyroid.

The Sternothyroid muscle is medial than the Sternohyoid. It is symmetrical  just like the Sternohyoid.

The Sternomastoid muscle is located deeper than the Sternohyoid and Sternothyroid, and is lateral to the Sternohyoid.
