The occipitalis muscle pulls the scalp back, and to some extent can wiggle the ears. It creates a look of startle or surprise on the face. It can be involved in headaches by staying tense for too long.
The antagonist muscle to the frontalis is the occipitalis. The frontalis muscle raises the eyebrows and wrinkles the forehead, while the occipitalis muscle pulls the scalp backwards.
The position of the frontalis is over the frontal bone or the forehead. This muscle works with the occipitalis which is over the occipital bone in the back of the head. It's action is to elevate the eyebrows.
Occipitalis
The primary action of the trapezius muscle during shoulder shrugging movements is to elevate and retract the shoulders.

The occipitofrontalis muscle is responsible for moving the scalp posteriorly by contracting its occipital belly. This muscle helps with facial expressions and raising the eyebrows.
The Agonist muscle. In contrast, the muscle group that has passive action(the muscle being stretched) is called the antagonis muscle. For example, when doing a bicep curl. Your biceps are the agonists and your triceps would be the antagonists.
Trunk flexion & unilateral trunk flexion.
The primary mover.
The galea aponeurotica is the connective tissue sheath that runs between the frontalis muscle in the forehead and the occipitalis muscle at the back of the head. It forms a continuous layer of tissue over the skull, providing attachment points for these muscles and allowing them to work together in various facial expressions.
