The branchiomeric muscle is derived from cranial mesoderm and controls facial expression, pharyngeal and laryngeal function, operating the jaw. Branchiomeric muscles of mammals correspond to the musculature of fish[GO][GO:0014707].
It has been hypothesized that Haikouella must have been powered by branchiomeric muscles, as in living craniates, rather than by water moving through the pharynx via ciliary currents, as in lancelets[http://icb.oxfordjournals.org/content/42/4/743.full]
