As you add muscles to the face, try to make your facial muscles function as the added muscle.

The nasal group consists of the following:

Step 5	The nasalis. The nasalis transverse part that compresses the nasal aperture.
Step 6	The nasalis alar. The nasalis alar is the part of the nasalis that opens the nostril. This muscle is not indexed on our cadaver.
Step 7	The procerus which produces transverse wrinkles over the bridge of the nose. .
Also part of the nasal group is the depressor septi, which is not present in our cadaver, but would pull the nose inferiorly.
