24
Q

What is the major branch of the opthalmic nerve (CN V1)?

A

supraorbital

25
Q

What does the supraorbital branch supply?

A
  • skin of forehead

- upper eyelids

26
Q

Where does the supraorbital branch of the ophthalmic nerve emerge after passing through the superior orbital fissure?

A

supraorbital notch/foramen in the frontal bone

27
Q

What is the name for the viral infection of CN V1 resulting in unilateral eruption of vesicles?

A

Herpes zoster ophthalmicus

28
Q

What is the major branch of the Maxillary nerve (CN V2)?

A

Infraorbital

29
Q

Which 2 branches of Trigeminal nerve (CN V) pass through the cavernous sinus?

A
  1. Ophthalmic
  2. Maxillary

(mandibular nerve doesn’t pass through the cavernous sinus)

30
Q

Where does the infraorbital nerve exit the cranium?

A

Infraorbital foramen

31
Q

Where does the mandibular nerve (CN V3) exit the skull?

A

Foramen ovale

*doesn’t travel through the canvernous sinus

32
Q

What are the 3 major sensory branches of the mandibular nerve (V3)?

A
  1. Auricuotemporal nerve
  2. Buccal nerve
  3. Mental nerve
33
Q

What does the infraorbital branch of CN V2 supply?

A
  • skin of lower eyelid
  • lateral aspects of the nose
  • maxillary region
  • zygomatic region (up to temples)
  • upper lip
34
Q

Motor for mandibular nerve (CN V3)?

A

muscles of mastication:

  1. Masseter
  2. Temporalis
  3. Lateral pterygoid
  4. Medial pterygoid
35
Q

Sensory for auriculotemporal nerve (V3)?

A
  • auricle
  • external acoustic meatus
  • external aspect o the tympanic membrane
  • skin in the temporal region
36
Q

Sensory for buccal nerve (CN V3)?

A
  • skin of cheek
  • mucous membranes of cheek

(pierces but doesn’t supply buccinator)

37
Q

Sensory for mental nerve (CN V3)?

A

*mental nerve is a branch of inferior alveolar nerve

  • skin of chin
  • mucous membrane of the lower lip
38
Q

The facial artery branches from what?

A

external carotid artery

39
Q

Where does the facial artery terminate?

A

Facial artery terminates as the angular artery (alongside the nose)

40
Q

What two branches does the facial artery give off?

A

superior and inferior labial arteries

41
Q

Where is the facial pulse palpable?

A

Facial artery, palpable just anterior to the masseter muscle (only covered by skin and platysma muscle)

42
Q

Superficial temporal artery is the terminal branch of what artery?

A

superficial temporal artery is the terminal branch of external carotid artery

43
Q

Which nerve does the superfical temporal artery course with?

A

Superficial temporal artery courses with auriculotemporal nerve anterior to external ear

44
Q

From what does the transverse facial artery branch off?

A

superficial temporal artery

branches off just below the cheek bone

45
Q

Supraorbital arteries are a branch from which artery?

A

Internal carotid artery

46
Q

What does the angular vein drain into?

A

facial vein

47
Q

What does the facial vein join to form the internal jugular vein?

A

Facial vein + anterior branch of retromandibular vein = internal jugular vein

48
Q

At the medial angle of the eye, the angular vein communicates with what vein which drains into the cavernous sinus?

A

Angular vein communicates with the superior ophthalmic vein which drains into the cavernous sinus

49
Q

Via the deep facial vein the facial vein communicates with what?

A

pterygoid plexus

50
Q

Do the facial, angular and opthalmic veins have valves?

A

No. this is significant as it is a possible route of infection between the face and the cranial cavity

51
Q

Which is the largest of the three paired salivary glands?

A

Parotid gland

others are sublignual and submandibular

What are the 3 structures emerging anteriorly from the parotid gland?

A
  1. Terminal branches of the facial nerve (5)
  2. Parotid duct
  3. Transverse facial artery
54
Q
