Infection on the face (the danger triangle) can travel through the cavernous sinus –> dural sinuses and infect the brain.

What is this triangle called? Where can an infection go from within this triangle?

Danger triangle. Infection can go to cavernous sinus –> dural sinuses and infect the brain.
Into which nodes to these drain?

- Occipital nodes
- Mastoid nodes

CN VII
Two Zebras Bit My Cat Posteriorly

Also, what large structure has been cut away?

- Auriculotemporal nerve
- Retromandibular vein
The parotid gland is missing.

What happened?

Mumps, a viral disease that spreads through saliva. Parotid gland is swollen
Serves him right for kissin that girl
What happened? What structures are at risk during excision of these?

Parotid tumor. Branches of the facial nerve are at risk during surgery.
Name the muscles, origins, insertions, actions, and innervation.

- Temporalis muscle originates on the side of the skull and inserts on the coronoid process of the mandible. It elevates and retrudes (posterior fibers) the mandible.
- Masseter muscle originates on the deep surface of the zygomatic arch and attaches on the angle of the mandible. Elevates the mandible.
Both are innervated by V3
Name the muscles, origins, insertions, actions, and innervation.

- Lateral pterygoid muscle - Upper belly originates on infratemporal crest, lower belly originates on lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate. The two bellies come together and insert on the fovea of the mandible and partly on the articular disk of TMJ. It protracts and depresses the mandible.
- Medial pterygoid muscle originates from the tuberosity of the maxilla and the medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate and inserts on the deep surface of the angle of the mandible. It can elevate mandible and move jaw from side to side.
Innervated by V3

- Articular eminence
- Mandibular fossa
- Articular disk
- Head of the mandibular condyle

Also state what the function of #1 is.

- Lateral temporo-mandibular ligament - prevents posterior and inferior movement
- Sphenomandibular ligament
- Stylomandibular ligament
Name the muslces and innervation. Which one keeps food in your mouth?

- Occipitofrontalis frontal belly - temporal branches of facial nerve CN VII
- Buccinator - buccal branch of facial nerve CN VII - keeps food in mouth
- Depressor anguli oris - buccal and mandibular branches of facial nerve CN VII
Name the muscles and innervation.

- Obicularis oculi - occipital part; facial nerve
- Obicularis oculi - palpebral part; facial nerve
- Temporalis muscle; V3 mandibular nerve
- Zygomaticus major; facial nerve
- Masseter; V3 mandibular nerve
- Zygomaticus minor; facial nerve
- Orbicularis oris; facial nerve
Also, which muscle does #2 pierce?

- Parotid gland
- Duct, pierces the buccinator muscle
Name the artery and what it arose from.

Facial artery, a branch of the external carotid artery
Name the artery and what it arose from.

Angular artery, terminal branch of the facial artery
Also, what did these arise from?

- Superior and 2. Inferior labial arteries, branches of the facial artery.
Name these arteries and what they arose from.

- Superficial temporal artery - parietal branch, arose from the maxillary artery (branch of the ECA)
- Superficial temporal artery - frontal branch, arose from the maxillary artery
- Supraorbital artery, arose from the ophthalmic artery (branch of the ICA)

Auriculotemporal nerve (V3)
Name this nerve and what it does.

Long buccal nerve (V3) - somatic sensory of the skin over the muscle (not motor to the buccinator - the buccal nerve from VII does that)
Name the muscle. Also, where on the mandible does it insert? What is its action? Innervation?

Lateral pterygoid muscle - upper and lower heads. Inserts on the fovea of the mandible. Protrudes the jaw. CN V3.
What is this place called? What nerve comes out here?

Stylomastoid foramen. Facial nerve (CN VII) comes out here.
Name this muscle and its attachments.

Medial pterygoid muscle. Originates on the medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate and attaches to the inside of the mandible near the angle.
Also, state what #5 does.

- Hypoglossal nerve
- Occipital artery
- Maxillary artery
