Face and orbit Flashcards
Facial Artery
It is embedded in a groove on the under surface of the submaxillary gland. It then curves upward over the body of the lower jaw
Branches of the right and left facial arteries anastomose freely with
one another as well as with other arteries supplying the face.
facial artery
goes in groove of submandibular, lingual artery does not!
Branches of the right and left facial arteries anastomose freely with
one another as well as with other arteries supplying the face.
Masseter Muscle
goes from zygomatic to lateral part of mandible
Masseter Muscle
goes from zygomatic to lateral part of mandible
what is this what intiatiates secretory activity here?
Parotid Gland
the secretory activity of the parotid is initiated by
parasympathetic fibers originating from the glossopharyngeal nerve
Buccinator muscle
posteriro to the memaster. The fibers converge toward the angle of the mouth, where the central fibers intersect each other. different than the memsater which runs vertically.
what is this?
where does it receive fibers from?
Submandibular Gland
receives secretomotor fibers from
parasymps mandibular branch of trigeminal (v3) and via the chorda tympani, a branch of the facial nerve
superficial temporal artery
the smaller of two terminal branches that bifurcate superiorly from the external carotid. Based on its direction, the superficial temporal artery appears to be a continuation of the external carotid whcih travels under the parotid
vein running with the temporal artery
temporal vein
eventually connected to both the external and intenral jugular veins which lioe on top of carotid
The superficial temporal vein joins the maxillary vein to form the retromandibular vein.
Temporalis Muscle
Temporal branch of facial nerve
- Ten Zebras Bit My Clavicle*
- Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical*
buccal branch of facial nerve
- Ten Zebras Bit My Clavicle*
- Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical*
zygomatic branch of facial nerve
Ten Zebras Bit My Clavicle
Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical
mandibular branch of facial nerve
Ten Zebras Bit My Clavicle
Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical
cervical branch of facial nerve
Ten Zebras Bit My Clavicle
Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Masseteric, Cervical
Supraorbital nerve (and supratrochlear?)
lateral to the supratrochlear nerve
terminal SENSORY branch of frontal nerve of the ophthalmic nerve, Cr. V 1 of trigeminal
infraorbital nerve
The infraorbital nerve, the SENSORY cutaneous termination of the maxillary nerve, Cr. V 2,
exits the infraorbital foramen to supply the skin of the
lateral nose, lower eyelid, upper lip and lateral face.
mental nerve
mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve (CN V).
artery or vein that is formed by two other structures from the face
Common Facial Vein
The anterior division of the retromandibular vein
joins the facial to become the common facial vein.
drains into INTERNAL jugular
facial nerve exiting the Stylomastoid Foramen
SVE – (branchial) muscles of facial expression
GVE - lacrimal, submandibular, sublingual glands (PNS)
SA - inner side of external ear
SA - taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue (NTS)
GVA - nasal/oral sensation
