List 5 structures embedded in parotid gland (2 nn., 1 a, 1 v., 1 s.)
(1) Facial nerve (CN VII - Parotid plexus branches)
(2) Retromandibular vein
(3) External carotid artery
(4) Auriculotemporal. nerve (branch of CNV3)
(5) Parotid lymph nodes
Course of facial nerve to face
Facial nerve CN VII
- > exits the skull - stylomastoid foramen
- > passes into parotid gland
- > divides into upper & lower trunks
What are the 3 parts of parotid gland?
- Masseteric part - moves ventrally on masseter
- Premasseteric part - Moves medially on the anterior margin of masseter -> enters buccal fat pad
- Buccinator part - opens into upper oral vestibule on the parotid papillae above 2nd upper molar
a small gland located above the parotid duct is called __
Accessory parotid gland
4 arteries that supply parotid gland
Superficial temporal a
Maxillary a
Posterior auricular a
Transverse facial a
Which nerve provide sensation to parotid gland?
Sensory: auriculotemporal nerve
Which nerve provide parasympathetic innervation to parotid gland?
Parasympathetic - Glossopharyngeal nerve
Lymphatic drainage of parotid gland (3)
Superficial cervical lymph nodes
Deep cervical lymph nodes
Parotid lymph nodes
What are the 2 parts of submandibular gland?
- Superior/Deep part - Smaller - Located above the mylohyoid muscle (on the posterior aspect of floor of mouth)
- Inferior/Superficial part - Larger - Located below the mylohyoid muscle & superficial layer of deep cervical fascia
2 arteries that supply submandibular gland
(1) Facial artery
(2) Lingual artery
Which nerve provide sensation to submandibular gland?
Lingual Nerve
Which nerve provide parasympathetic innervation to submandibular gland?
Chorda tympani nerve (from facial nerve)
2 veins that drain submandibular gland
Facial vein – empties directly into the internal jugular vein.
Sublingual vein – drains into the lingual v
lymphatic drainage of submandibular gland
Submandibular lymph nodes
