Q

What is special about the muscles of the face

How would you group the facial muscles

A

Very superficial
-lack of fat or tissue between skin and skull

Q

Describe the venous supply of the face

A

Parallel path to equivalent name sarteries

Superficial
-drained from plexus at the surface that drain at anterior scalp => facial vein => int jugular vein

Deep

  • deep facial vein => facial vein
  • retromandibular divides to drain into the facial vein or external jugular

Q

Describe the route of the mandibular nerve

  • what does it innervate
    • motor
A

Mandibular nerve
Joins sensory component distal to trigeminal ganglion

Branches to masticators

  • masseter
  • medial, lateral pterygoids
  • temporalis

Branches also to other muscles involved in eating

  • tensor tympani
  • tensor veli palatini
  • anterior belly of digastric
  • mylohyoid

Q

What is trigeminal neuralgia

A

Chronic facial pain

  • hyperalgesia and allodynia
  • unilateral, electric shock-like

-female prevalence, increases with age

Often due to the basilar artery compressing the nerve root

Often treated with anticonvulsants like carbemazepine (reduce nervous transmission)
If unaffective, can be operated on with the risk of hearing and sensory loss

Q

Describe the route of the facial nerve

  • what does it innervate
  • special sensory
A

Facial nerve
IAM in petrous

Greater petrosal
Stapedius
Chorda tympani => hitchhiked with lingual nerve => ant 2/3 tongue

Stylomastoid foramen

Posterior auricular nerve
Posterior belly of digastric nerve
Stylohyoid nerve
Parotid gland => upper and lower branches

Muscles of facial expression:
Upper bilateral control => temporal, zygomatic branches
Lower contralateral control => buccal, mandibular branches

17
Q

Describe the route of the facial nerve

  • what does it innervate
    • PNS
A

Facial nerve
IAM
Greater petrosal nerve branch => MCF => pterygopalatine ganglion => mucous and lacrimal glands

Stapedius nerve branch => MOTOR

Chorda tympani branch => combine with lingual nerve => submandibular ganglion => submandibular, sublingual glands

Stylomastoid foramen

ALL MOTOR
Post auricular
Post digastric
Stylohyoid

18
Q

Describe the route of the facial nerve

  • what does it innervate
    • motor
A 
Facial nerve
IAM
Greater petrosal nerve => PNS
Stapedius nerve => stapedius muscle in inner ear
Chorda tympani => PNS

Stylomastoid foramen

Posterior auricular branch=> intrinsic, extrinsic outer ear muscles
Posterior belly of digastric branch=> elevate hyoid
Stylohyoid branch=>  elevate hyoid
(facial expression
Within parotid => 5 terminal branches 
-temporal
-zygomatic
-buccal
-mandibular
-cervical
19
Q

Describe the structure of the parotid gland

A

Tightly enclosed in fascia (causes pain in mumps)

Branches within the gland

  • Facial nerve plexuses
  • ECA divides into maxillary and superficial temporal branches

Parotid duct lies on masseter, pierces buccanator => opens into oral cavity on the buccal side

Saliva production stimulated by IX

20
Q

A

Trapezius
Splenius capitus
Occipitalis

21
Q

What muscles attach to the mastoid process

-what movements are possible

A
