Levator Labii Superioris Alaeque Nasi Muscle

The levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle is, translated from Latin, the "lifter of both the upper lip and of the wing of the nose". It has the longest name of any muscle in an animal. The muscle is sometimes documented as Otto's muscle as the anatomist was frustrated with the name being so long and tedious to write.
