Anatomy Workbooks Flashcards
Describe the extent of the scalp
Anterior: Supraorbital margins
Posterior: external occipital protuberance and superior nuchal lines
On each side: zygomatic arch
Describe the layers of the scalp
Skin
Connective tissue (dense)
Aponeurosis of occiptofrontalis muscle
Loose areolar connective tissue
Periosteum
List the cutaneous nerves of the scalp
Anterior: trigeminal nerve (CNV)
Posterior: C2 and C3
Describe the distribution of dermatomes of the head
V1
V2
V3
C2
C3
Describe the arterial supply of the scalp
Supratrochlear (ICA)
Supraorbital (ICA)
Superficial temporal (ECA)
Posterior auricular (ECA)
Occipital (ECA)
Describe the venous drainage of the scalp
Supratrochlear
Supraorbital
Superficial temporal
Facial
Superior thyroid
External jugular
Internal jugular
Subclavian
Describe the cutaneous innervation of the face and branches of the trigeminal nerve innervating it
Ophthalmic (V1)
Maxillary (V2)
Mandibular (V3)
Describe the course of arteries which supplies the face and veins which drain it
External carotid:
- Superior thyroid
- Lingual
- facial
- Occipital
- Maxillary
- Posterior auricular
- Superficial temporal
List the main muscles of facial expression and their function
Orbicularis oculi palpebral- close eyelids gently
Orbicularis oculi orbital- close eyelids tightly
Occiptofrontalis occipital belly- retracts scalp
Occipitofrontalis frontal bellly- protacts scalp
Orbicularis oris- protrudes lips
Buccinator- presses cheek against molar teeth
Platysma- depresses mandible
Understand about innervation of the muscles of facial expression
Facial nerve (CNVII)
Temporal branch
Zygomatic branch
Buccal branch
Marginal mandibular branch
Cervical branch
Be able to list the deficient movements when the facial nerve is injured/ damaged.
Facial nerve palsy
Describe the structure, function and topographic anatomy of the parotid gland and its duct including innervation
Exocrine gland
Parotid duct pierces buccinator muscle
Parasympathetic innervation from glossopharyngeal nerve (IX)
Describe the relation of the external carotid artery and facial nerve and its branches to the parotid gland
ECA passes through and supplies parotid gland
Facial nerve passes through parotid gland but does not innervate it
Describe the general organisation of the neck with respect to fascia, layers and triangles
Vertebral compartment
Vascular compartments
Visceral compartment
All compartments enclosed by an outer musculofascial collar
Define the anterior and posterior triangles of the neck in terms of their borders and list their contents
Anterior: inferior border of mandible, Anterior border of SCM, midline of neck
Posterior: posterior margin of SCM, anterior margin of trapezius, middle 1/3 of clavicle
Name the subdivisions of the anterior triangles
Submental
Submandibular
Carotid
Muscular
Name the subdivisions of the posterior triangles
Occipital triangle
Supraclavicular triangle
