Look under Dorland's, which lists and reads:

platysma (pla·tys·ma) (pl[schwa]-tiz˘m[schwa]) [TA] [Gr.] a platelike muscle that originates from the fascia of the cervical region and inserts in the mandible and the skin around the mouth. It is innervated by the cervical branch of the facial nerve, and acts to wrinkle the skin of the neck and to depress the jaw.
