8. Superficial Scalp and Face Flashcards
What are the layers of the scalp?
S-C-A-L-P
- Skin
- Connective tissue (dense)
- Aponeurosis
- Loose CT
- Pericranium
What layers make up the scalp proper?
1. Skin
2. CT (dense)
3. Aponeurosis
These layers are intimately connected and move together as a unit.
Describe the SCALP
- Skin: abundant BV and glands
- (dense) CT has alot of neurovasculature.
- Aponeurosis serves as the attachement site for muscle bellies converging from the forehead & occiput (occipitofrontalis muscle) & from the temporal bones on each side (temporoparietalis and superior auricular muscles). Structure are. called epicranius and I by the facial N.
- Loose CT has potential spaces that. can fill with fluid if there is injury or infection.
- Pericranium- forms the external periosteum of the neurocranium
CN: Detached Scalp:
Easy or hard to put on?
Detached scalp is v. easy. to put back on because all neurovascularture supply comes from inferior to superior. Thus, you can reconnect them during surgey.
CN: Scalp infection
- Loose CT (layer four) is danger area because pus or blood spreads easily.
- Can also pass into the cranial cavity through small emissary veins (pass through parietal foramina in calvaria) to reach intracranial structures –
- Within the eyelids, even a relatively slight injury or inflammation may result in an accumulation of fluid, causing the eyelids to swell
Gaping vs. Non-gaping wounds
- Gaping wounds: caused when you go through the APO
- Non-gaping wounds: wounds within skin of dense CT (first two layers)
Describe the parotid gland and duct and their relations to nerves, vessels and muscles and its innervation.
type of gland?
Location?
Parotid gland is the largest salivary gland: located lateral on the face, anterior and inferior to ear. Extends from temporal bone -> mandible anterior of the ear. It is covered in fascia.
Describe the parotid gland and duct and their relations to nerves, vessels and muscles and its innervation.
Sensory innervation:
Parasympathetic innervation:
- Sensory innervation: Great auricular N. and auriculotemporal N
- Parasympathetic innervation: Glossopharyngeal n. (CN IX) via posterior auricular n. (postsynaptic from otic ganglion).
Describe the parotid gland and duct and their relations to nerves, vessels and muscles.
Parotid duct relation?
Parotic gland relations?
- Parotid duct relation: dives in buccinator M.
-
Parotic gland relations:
- 1. CN 7 does not innervste it, but passes through it
- 2. Retromandibular vein
- 3. External carotid A.
Muscles of facial expression develop from __________.
2nd pharyngeal arch
Muscles of facial expression are innervated by:
- Motor innervation: CN VII (facial)
- Sensory innervation of the face and anteriorsuperior part scalp: mainly CN V (trigeminal N)
List the muscles of facial expression
Occipitofrontalis M
Axn:
Frontal belly of occipitofrontalis m: lift up eyebrows and wrinkles forehead
Occipital bellow of occipitofrontalis m: retract scalp, increasing effectivness of frontal belly
Orbicularis oculi m.
Axn:
Has two parts:
1. Orbital part of the Orbicularis oculi m: close eyelids tightly
- Palpebral part of the Orbicularis oculi: close eyelids gently.
Depressor labii inferioris m.
Axn:
Depresses lip inferiorly and
Orbicularis oris M.
Axn
- Sphincter around mouth
- Axn: Keeps mouth close; compresses and protrudes lips when kissing/blowing.
Zyogmaticus Major M
Axn:
Elevate labial commissure bilaterally to smile
Buccinator M.
Axn:
Cheek muscle.
- Presses cheek against molar teeth; works with tongue to keep food between occlusal surfaces and out of oral vestibule; resists distension (when blowing)
Levator anguli oris
Axn:
Dilates mouth; widens oral fissure when grinning or grimacing
