Q

What muscles are involved in facial expression? What are their innervations

A

Occipitofrontalis, platysma, orbicularis oculi, orbicularis oris, zygomaticus major and buccinator. These are all from pharyngeal arch 2 and are innervated by CN VII.

Q

What muscle is the trumpet muscle?

A

The buccinator. It is involved in sucking and expelling air. It is also an accessory muscle of mastication for keeping food between the teeth.

Q

What separates the divisions of CN VII as it provides motor innervation to the face?

Q

A patient presents with drooling, inability to shut her eye, loss of blinking and loss of corneal reflex. Where is the likely lesion located in this patient?

A

She has lost function of the orbicularis oculi (inability to shut eye and blink), buccinator (drools), zygomaticus major (not smiling on affected side). This means the facial nerve was lesioned near the mastoid process before it branches.

Q

Through what do each of the nerves indicated below exit through before providing sensory innervation to the face?

A

V1 (red) has the suprorbital nerve going through the supraorbital notch and the supratrochlear nerve going through the upper marginal orbit. V2 (green) has the infraorbital nerve going through the infraorbital foramen. V3 (blue) has the mental nerve going through the mental foramen.

Q

Branches of the ECA that supply the face with blood.

A

Superficial temporal artery and facial artery. Note that the facial artery is anterior to the masseter and facial vein. Note that the superficial temporal artery ascends with the auriculotemporal nerve.

16
Q

Divisions of the retromandibular vein

A

Superficial temporal + maxillary = Retromandibular vein. Posterior division of retromandibular + posterior auricular vein = external jugular vein. Anterior division of retromandibular + facial vein = common facial vein -> internal jugular vein.

17
Q

Where is the danger region of the face due to infection?

A

Angular vein -> superficial and inferior ophthalmic veins -> cavernous sinus

18
Q

Parts of the parotid

A

Superficial, isthmus & deep parts.

19
Q

Parotid opening in the mouth

A

Parotid papilla

20
Q

Borders of the parotid

A

Note that the lateral border is not seen, but is made up of the platysma.

21
Q

What structures are embedded in the parotid gland?

A

Facial nerve (green), retromandibular vein (blue) and ECA (red).

22
Q

Sensory innervation of the parotid gland.

A

Auriculotemporal nerve (V3).

23
Q

Parasympathetic innervation of the parotid gland.

A

CN IX via the otic ganglion, hitchhiking w/auriculotemporal nerve.

24
Q

What conditions cause swelling and severe pain of the parotid gland? Why is it more painful when chewing?

A

Mumps and tumors. These conditions hurt when chewing because the swollen parotid gets compressed between the ramus of the mandible and the mastoid process.
