Case 6 anatomy Flashcards
what’s important about the scalp?
connective tissue of scalp - many arteries and veins anastomosing
loose areolar connective tissue - emissary veins
what retracts and protracts the jaw?
temporalis muscle retracts the jaw
lateral pterygoid protracts the mandible
where does the medial pterygoid muscle originate from?
tuberosity of maxilla and medial aspect of lateral pterygoid plate
what does the temporalis muscle insert onto?
coronoid process of mandible
what are the two processes on the mandible?
condylar process and coronoid process
condylar more posterior
what other muscles are involved in mastication?
- digastric, mylohoid and geniohyoid (suprahyoids) assist in depressing the jaw
- in order for them to do so the hyoid bone must be fixed by the infrahyoids (thyrohyoid, sternothyroid, sternohyoid and omohyoid) (no cricothyroid - part of larynx)
where does the masseter originate from and insert onto?
originates on the zygomatic arch and inserts onto the lateral surface of the ramus of the mandible
where do the pterygoid muscles originate from? and insertion?
lateral pterygoid originates from the lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate - inserts on condyle
the medial pterygoid originates the medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate - inserts medial angle of mandible
what is sympathetic innervation of the parotid gland?
- Sympathetic fibres to the parotid gland arise from the cervical sympathetic ganglia
- These fibres are vasomotor (blood vessel altering diameter) in action and are thought to reduce the secretion or thicken the saliva
which structures pass through the parotid gland?
the facial nerve and the external carotid artery
what does the external carotid artery divide into in the parotid gland?
maxillary and superficial temporal arteries - both terminal branches
which veins unite within the parotid gland to form what?
superficial temporal and maxillary veins unite within the parotid gland to form the retromandibular vein
what are branches of the facial artery? where does the facial artery come from?
- inferior labial, superior labial, lateral nasal, angular
- branches off external carotid artery in the neck
what does the superficial temporal artery give rise to and what does this supply?
transverse facial artery which supplies the parotid gland & duct, the masseter, and the overlying skin
what does the maxillary artery give off?
mental artery (a terminal branch of ECA), which supplies the skin on the chin
