Anatomy L2 Flashcards
Covering of parotid gland?
Splitting of investing layer that comes from deep cervical facia
= superfacial (parotidmasster fascia)
=deep(stylomandibular ligament)
Postero-medial surface of parotid gland is related to?
We have mastoid and styloid processes
SCM
Posterior belly of digastric
stylohyoid
styloglossus
stylopharyngeus
Also EC enters the parotid gland at this level
This surface is also related to deeper structure like internal
carotid artery, internal jugular vein, deep to the styloid
apparatus.
The pain produced by the MUMPS is mistaken for toothache,
the parotid swellings are painful WHY?
Due to unyielding nature of this fascia (parotid)
Structures that emerge from BASE of parotid gland?
SETTA Superficial temporal vessels External acoustic meatus Temporal facial nerve TMJ Auricotemporal nerve
Parotid gland APEX structures?
Structures that emerge from apex of parotid?
RMV
Cervical facial nerve
The significance of the BASE of the parotid gland is ?
a tumor affecting this are a can obstruct the TMJ
Superficial or lateral surface of parotid gland structures?
Skin Platysma Superficial parotid ln Parotid fascia Great aurical nerve(supplying skin over fascia)
Antero-medial surface of parotid gland is related to?
MRM
Masseter muscle (outside)
Ramus of mandible
Medial pterygoid muscle (inside)
The superficial lamella (parotid fascia) of the fascia is very strong and attached to?
Lower Zygomatic bone arch + epimysium of the masseter muscle.
Lymphatic drainage of parotid gland?
pre auricular/ superficial parotid LN فوق القلاند
deep parotid LN داخل القلاند
Then into deep cervical LN
Structures that emerge from ANTERIOR border of parotid gland?
- transverse facial arterty
- zygomatic facial nerve
- upper AND lower buccal facial nerves
- marginal mandibular nerves
- parotid duct
which nerve is likely to be injured during the removal of a tumor in the parotid salivary gland ?
The facial nerve and its branches cuz its most superficial
Structures inside the parotid gland (outside to inside) ?
Ya3ni tarteeb min most superficial to deepest
1- facial nerve and its branches
2- RMV
3-EC and its branches (superficial temporal art. + maxillary art.)
What forms the RMV at the apex?
union of superficial temporal + maxillary veins
Where does the EC terminate ?
Neck of mandible
Then it gives the maxillary art. and superficial temporal art. (Which gives the transverse facial art.)
Where does the parotid duct open?
In the vestibule opposite to the 2nd upper maxillary molar tooth
A bad oral hygiene can cause?
bacterial parotitis (infection spread through parotid duct) resulting in slight swelling of the gland and usually produces an abscess.
The skin over the swelling shows redness. It is extremely painful due to unyielding nature of the parotid fascia
Preganglionic secretomotor parasympathetic fibers are derived from? And carried by?
Inf salivary nuclei in medulla
Carried by glossopharyngeal n.
The secretomotor fibers leave the glossopharyngeal nerve at JAGULAR FORAMEN through its branch called?
Tympanic nerve
It inters the tympanic cavity and middle ear thro tympanic canaliculi at the jugular foramen. Then forms tympanic plexus in middle ear,
What does tympanic plexus supply?
Mucousa of middle ear
What arises from these tympanic plexus?
The lesser petrosal nerve, having preganglionic parasympathetic that emerge through foramen ovale and ends in otic ganglion.
The postganglionic fibers from OTIC GANGLION join what nerve?
join the auriculotemporal nerve to supply the parotid gland.
