Anatomical terms of muscle

The temporoparietalis muscle is a distinct muscle of the head. It lies above the auricularis superior muscle. It lies just inferior to the epicranial aponeurosis of the occipitofrontalis muscle.[1] The temporoparietalis muscle may be used in reconstructive ear surgery.[2]
