When do humans use more facial muscles?
Question

When do humans use more facial muscles?

A.

While smiling

B.

While frowning

C.

While sleeping

D.

While talking

Correct option is B

The correct answer is: (b) While frowning
Explanation:
  • Humans use more facial muscles when frowning compared to when they are smiling.
  • Frowning involves the contraction of more muscles, including those in the forehead, eyebrows, and lower face.
Information Booster:
  • Facial muscles: Human faces have over 40 muscles that help in making different expressions and communicating emotions.

  • Smiling: Involves the zygomatic major, which pulls the mouth's corners upward, as well as other small muscles around the eyes.

  • Talking: While talking, muscles like the orbicularis oris (around the lips) and buccinator (in the cheeks) are used, but these don't involve as many muscles as frowning does.
