CONT: The frontalis muscle is the anterior component of the occcipitofrontalis muscle of the scalp. It originates from a membranous sheet, or aponeurosis, on the scalp and inserts into the skin of the frontal region above the eyebrows. Contraction produces transverse wrinkling of the brow, as in worrying, or raising of the eyebrows, as in surprise.
