Which nerves supply the scalp?
Trigeminal (V1, V2, V3)
Cervical nerves
-Lesser occipital nerve
-Greater occipital nerve
What are the 4 arteries supplying the scalp?
- Supraorbital
- Superifical temporal
- Posterior auricular
- Occipital
Deep lacerations of the scalp can gape widely if they pass which layer of the scalp?
Layer 3 (aponeurosis)
If a patient has an infection in the 4 layer of the scalp (loose connective tissue), how might they spread to the cranial cavity?
Via the emissary veins to the dural venous sinuses
What nerve innervats the major muscles of facial expression?
Facial nerve (CN VII)
Action of Frontalis?
elevates the eyebrows
What is the name of the aponeurosis connecting frontalis and occipitalis?
epicranial aponeurosis
What is the action of orbicularis oculi?
closes eyelids, protects eye
What are the two parts of orbicularis oculi?
- Palpebral part
2. Orbital part
What is the action of the palpebral part of orbicularis oculi?
gently closes eyelid
ex. sleep, blinking
What is the action of the orbial part of orbicularis oculi?
Forcefully closes eyelids
ex. squinting
What is the action of orbicularis oris?
Closes mouth (Also important or speech and mastication)
What is the action of buccinator?
- compresses cheek during mastication so food remains between occlusal suraces of the molar teeth
- Sucking
- Whistling
(deep to masseter muscle)
Where is the buccal fat pad located?
Superficial to buccinator
What is the name of the canal the Facial nerve (CN VII) passes through in the temporal bone?
Facial canal in the temporal bone
Where does Facial Nerve (CN VII) exit the cranium?
Facial nerve exits through the stylomastoid foramen
Name the 5 branches of the facial nerve
- Temporal
- Zygomatic
- Buccal
- Mandibular
- Cervical
(these terminal branchesare given off once the facial nerve enters the parotid gland)
When does the facial nerve give off the posterior auricular nerve?
before entering the parotid gland
What muscle does the posterior auricular nerve innervate?
Posterior auricular branch of the facial nerve innervates:
- occipitalis belly of occipitofrontalis
Sagging lower eyelid, inability to close the eye (dehyrdation and ulceration of the cornea), drooping angle of the mouth, difficulty keeping food against occlusal surfaces of teeth are symptoms of what?
Bell’s Palsy (Facial nerve - CN VII)
