The swollen lump under your left cheekbone could be a number of things, such as a swollen lymph node, a salivary gland issue (like sialadenitis), or even an infection in the area. Tenderness and soreness, along with effects on your ear, may suggest an inflammatory process or infection. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
The muscle that helps you grin are attached to each cheekbone, or ?????
The flexor pollicis brevis muscle may be swollen due to overuse, injury, or inflammation.
The over-extension of a muscle might feel like burning or pain in the muscle. After the exercise, the muscle can feel sore or even swollen.
The primary muscle responsible for smiling is the zygomaticus major. This muscle runs from the cheekbone to the corners of the mouth and lifts the corners upward when contracted. Additionally, the risorius muscle can assist in this action by pulling the mouth sideways. Together, these muscles create the facial expression associated with smiling.
Yes it can if the muscle fibres are ruptured
yes

A zygoma is the anatomical name for the cheekbone.
Circular muscles help in extension and narrowing of the body of the earthworm. When circular muscles contract the protractor muscles relax causing the retractor muscles to contract, thus withdrawing the setae.
During the eccentric contraction phase, cellular activity involves lengthening the muscle fibers while generating force. This phase creates tension in the muscle as it elongates, allowing for controlled movement and resistance against external forces. Additionally, cellular processes such as protein breakdown and remodeling contribute to muscle adaptation and strength gains.
The primary muscle used in chewing is called the masseter muscle. There is one on each side of the jaw. They attach to the zygomatic arch (cheekbone) above and the lateral (side) of the mandible (lower jaw). You can feel those muscles flex by placing your hands on the sides of your lower jaw in front of your ears and clenching your teeth.
Lots of reasons. You could have injured one, strain, sprain, torn or bruised it. Or, you could have had a workout and you are noticing the increased bloodflow that causes them to be a little swollen. This will go away after a short while.
