DEEP FACE Flashcards
what is the function of the muscles of mastication? what are they innervated by?
move the mandible
mandibular branch V3
what are the muscles of mastication?
temporalis m
masseter m
medial pterygoid m
lateral pterygoid m
what type of muscle is the masseter m?
multipinate muscle
what is the origin of the medial pterygoid m?
medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
what is the origin of the lateral pterygoid m? remember there is the superior and inferior belly?
infra temporal surface of the greater wing of the sphenoid
lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
this fossa is below and medial to the zygomatic arch; good place to inject anesthesia?
infra temporal fossa
what nerves run through the infratemporal fossa?
branches of the V3 and chorda tympani of CN VII
this is a deep arterial supply and supplies the entire deep face; a fracture to the high mandible causing blood flow lost to the entire face
