Transverse Cervical Nerve (from C2 and C3)

61
Q

What are the motor nerves to the face a branch of?

A

All the motor nerves to the face are branches of the facial nerve.

62
Q

Where does the facial nerve come out of the skull?

A

Through the stylomastoid foramen

63
Q

What are the branches of the facial nerve?

A

Temporofacial, which has 3 branches
Temporal, Zygomatic, and Buccal, which forms a loop with buccal of the cervicofacial nerve

And Cervicofacial, which has 3 branches, buccal, which forms a loop with the buccal of the temporofacial, mandibular, and cervical

64
Q

In the head, there are 2 “buccal branches”. One from the trigeminal nerve, and one from the facial nerve. Which buccal branch is the motor nerve, and which is the sensory nerve?

A

Motor nerve is from facial nerve

Sensory nerve is from trigeminal, and it is called (in dentistry) the long buccal nerve

65
Q

The arteries of the face are direct or indirect branches of what?

A

External carotid or internal carotid

66
Q

What arteries of the face are derived from the external carotid?

A 
Facial artery, which gives 3 branches:
Superior labial, inferior labial, nasal branches
Angular artery
Superficial temporal artery
Transverse facial artery
Infraorbital artery

External nasal artery
68
Q

What is true about the angular artery?

A

The angular artery is the facial artery with a new name. It changes its name when it gets to the angle of the nose. The angular artery is an external carotid derivative, and it anastamoses with the internal carotid derivatives

72
Q

What is the danger zone?

A

Triangle on your face, bacteria from upper lip to between eyebrows can get into your blood stream via cavernous sinus and get to your brain and kill you
