What muscle wrinkles the bridge of the nose?

  1. Procerus

  2. Nasalis

  3. Levator labii superioris

  4. Depressor anguli oris

The correct answer is: Procerus

One way to remember the name of this muscle is that it "protrudes" or wrinkles the bridge of the nose. The term "nasalis" can be misleading as it could refer to several muscles in and around the nose, so it is not the best choice. The other two options, Levator labii superioris and Depressor anguli oris, are muscles that are primarily responsible for movement of the lips and mouth, not the nose. So, they are incorrect as well.
