“…These are similar to the results reported by Midy et al (1986). Crouzet et al (1998) stated that in 40 cases studied, it was determined that the origin of the upper lip artery was higher to the oral commissure in 35 cases, inferior to oral commissure in four cases, and at the same level in one case; only in one case labial arteries constituted a common trunk at its origin. Edizer et al (2003) indicated that variations exist in the form as the labial arteries originate to the right and left sides in the same subject.…”

“…Different facial features may respond differently to variation in the probability of ovulation. Intra-cycle variation in colour may be less cryptic for the lip skin as a result of its higher vascularization and finer cellular layers [38] or due to tissue-specific differences in oestrogen receptor expression or sensitivity. The latter has already been suggested to explain the differential effect of cycle phase on facial and hindquarter colour in Japanese macaques [13].…”

Fine-scale variation in lip and cheek colour according to the timing of ovulation in women

Various animal species have evolved a sexual communication system with females displaying and males discriminating information about the timing of ovulation through sexual signals.More research is now investigating the potential ovulatory signalling function of female red skin colour in human and non-human primates. However, to date it is still challenging to draft satisfying hypotheses about the evolution and function of female red skin colour, due to methodological discrepancies between human and non-human primate studies. The present study used a within-individual design and objective methods to analyse the relationship between fine-scale variation in cheek and lip colour (luminance and redness) and the estimated day of ovulation in 15 cycling women. Lip, but not cheek, colour appeared to contain information about the timing of ovulation, with lips getting darker around ovulation.This study adds to the growing evidence that female red skin colour may play a role in sexual signalling in human and non-human primates but also underlines variation in trait forms and functions at the species-level.

“…[1314] In Table 2, diameters of inferior labial artery at origin are shown. [71015–17] Earlier only one study has shown an internal diameter diameter of inferior labial artery measured; 0.8 mm (0.2-1.4 mm) in origin. [7] This study showed that inferior labial artery was located in the submucous layer in 77.27% cases and in 13.64% of the specimens this artery was in the superficial muscle layer of the orbicularis oris.…”

Context:Vermilion lower lip cross flap is indicated for reconstruction of upper lip in residual deformities following trauma or cleft lip. Flap survival depends on incorporation of inferior labial artery in pedicle.Aims:This article reports measurement of vertical distance between inferior labial artery and vermilion surface under light microscope in midline sagittal cross-sectional specimens harvested from 22 fresh male cadavers, to design cross lip vermilion flap more accurately and reduce morbidity of donor site.Settings and Design:This study is designed to measure vertical distance between uppermost parts of inferior labial artery to vermilion surface in 22 fresh male cadavers. Tissue specimens were taken from lower lip midline in sagittal plane. Histological sections stained with Hematoxylin-eosin were reviewed by Pathologist.Materials and Methods:Measurements were done by staged micrometer which was calibrated in 10 μm subdivisions under light microscope. Vertical distance was measured in millimeter and artery location was defined as submucosal, in superficial muscle and deep muscular layer.Statistical Analysis Used:Descriptive study.Results:Analysis of data shows that mean distance was 2.42 ± 1.67 mm. In 77.27% of cases, the artery was in submucosal layer and in 13.64% of cases this artery was located in superficial muscular layer.Conclusions:As a result 4-mm depth incision of lower lip vermilion that incorporate superficial layer of orbicularis oris muscle will ensure blood supply of lower lip vermilion cross flap.
