Q

Lymph vessels in the part of the scalp above and behind the ear drain into

A

the mastoid nodes

34
Q

Vessels in the back of the scalp drain into

A

the occipital nodes.

35
Q

Bleeding of the scalp is often hard to stop because

A

the arterial walls are attached to fibrous septa in the subcutaneous tissue
Note: The attachment to the fibrous septa makes the walls unable to contract or retract to allow blood clotting to take place. Local pressure applied to the laceration is the only
effective way to stop the bleeding. The tension of the epicranial aponeurosis,
which is produced by the tone of the
occipitofrontalis muscle, is an important factor in deep wounds of the scalp. If the aponeurosis has been divided, the
wound will gape open. For healing to take place, the cut in the aponeurosis must be sutured

36
Q

1-The skin of the face possesses
2- It is connected to the underlying bones
3- There is NO
4- Wrinkles of the face result due to

A

1- many sweat and sebaceous
glands
2- by loose connective
tissue; the muscles of facial expression are embedded in this connective tissue.
3- deep fascia in the face
4- repeated folding of the
skin perpendicular to the long axis of the underlying muscles

37
Q

The skin of the face is supplied by branches of the three divisions of the

A

trigeminal nerve, except for
a small area over the angle of the mandible and the parotid gland, which is supplied by the great auricular nerve(C2 and 3)

38
Q

The divisions of the trigeminal nerve are

A

Ophthalmic, Maxillary, Mandibular

39
Q

Ophthalmic Division

A

The ophthalmic division supplies the skin of the forehead, the upper eyelid, the conjunctiva, and the side of the nose down to and including the tip.

40
Q

There are five branches in the Ophthalmic Division

A
– Lacrimal nerve
– Supraorbital nerve
– Supratrochlear nerve
– Infratrochlear nerve
– External nasal nerve
41
Q

Maxillary Division

A

The maxillary division supplies the skin on the posterior part of the side of the nose, the
lower eyelid, the cheek, the upper lip, and the lateral side of the orbital opening.

42
Q

There are three cutaneous branches of the Maxillary Division

A

– Infraorbital nerve
– Zygomaticofacial nerve
– Zygomaticotemporal nerve

43
Q

Mandibular Division

A

The mandibular nerve supplies the skin of the lower lip, the lower part of the face, the
temporal region, and part of the ear.

44
Q

There are three cutaneous branches of the Mandibular Division

A

– Mental nerve
– Buccal nerve
– Auriculotemporal nerve

45
Q

The face receives its arterial supply from two sources:

A

the facial and superficial temporal arteries

46
Q

The facial artery courses

A

upward and over the submandibular
salivary gland. It curves around the inferior border of the mandible at the anterior
border of the masseter muscle. The pulse of the facial artery can be felt where it crosses the mandible.

47
Q

The facial artery is covered by

A

the platysma and risorious muscles
and takes a torturous course from the angle of the mouth to the medial angle of the eye. At the medial angle of the eye, the facial artery anastomoses with branches of the ophthalmic artery

48
Q

The branches of the facial artery are:

A

– Submental artery
– Inferior labial artery
– Superior labial artery
– Lateral nasal artery

49
Q

Superficial temporal artery

A

Transverse facial artery (a branch of the superficial artery)

50
Q

The supraorbital and supratrochlear arteries,

A

branches of the ophthalmic artery, supply the skin of the forehead.

51
Q

The facial vein is formed at the medial angle of the eye by

A

the union of the supraorbital and supratrochlear veins. It is connected to the superior ophthalmic vein directly
through the supraorbital vein.

52
Q

The facial vein is connected to the cavernous sinus by way of the

A

superior ophthalmic vein; this connection is very important clinically because it provides a path for infection to spread from the face to the cavernous sinus.

53
Q

The facial vein descends behind the

A

facial artery to the lower margin of the mandible. It crosses superficial to the submandibular salivary gland
and is joined by the anterior division of the
retromandibular vein.

54
Q

The facial vein drains into

A

the internal jugular vein

55
Q

The facial vein receives tributaries that

correspond to the branches of

A

the facial artery. It is also joined to the pterygoid venous plexus by the deep facial vein and to the cavernous sinus by the superior ophthalmic vein. The transverse facial vein joins the superficial
temporal vein in the parotid gland.

56
Q

Lymph from the forehead and the anterior part of the face drains into the

A

submandibular lymph nodes

57
Q

There may be a few

A

buccal lymph nodes along the course of these lymph vessels.

58
Q

The lateral part of the face, including the lateral parts of the eyelids, is drained by lymph vessels that terminate in

A

the parotid lymph nodes.

59
Q

The central part of the lower lip and the skin of the chin drain into

A

the submental lymph nodes

60
Q

The muscles of the face are embedded within

A

the superficial fascia. Most of the muscles originate from the bones of the skull and insert into the skin. The facial orifices, the orbit, nose, mouth, are surrounded by sphincters or dilators. Facial muscles also modify facial expression.

61
Q

All facial muscles are innervated by

A

the facial nerve

62
Q

The sphincter muscle of the eyelid is

A

the orbicularis oculi and the dilator muscles are the levator palpebrae superioris and occipitofrontalis

63
Q

The sphincter muscle of the nose is the

A

compressor naris and the dilator is the dilator naris

64
Q

The sphincter muscle of the mouth is

A

the orbicularis oris; the dilator muscles consist of a series of small muscles that radiate out from the lips

65
Q

Muscles of the Lips and Cheeks

A
--Levator labii superioris alaeque nasi
– Levator labii superioris
– Zygomaticus major and minor
– Levator anguli oris
– Risorious
– Depressor anguli oris
– Depressor labii inferioris
– Mentalis
66
Q

The orbicularis oris is the sphincter muscle of

A

the lips. The muscle encircles the mouth within the substance of the lips. Some fibers originate from the underlying bones,
while others arise from the deep surface of the skin.

67
Q

The orbicularis oris is innervated by

A

the buccal and mandibular branches of the facial nerve.

68
Q

The action of this muscle is

A

to compress the lips together

69
Q

The dilator muscles of the lips

A

radiate out from the lips.Their action is to separate the lips. The muscles arise from bones and fascia around the mouth and
converge as they insert into the lips.

70
Q

Muscles of the Lips and Cheeks are innervated by

A

These muscles are innervated by the buccal and mandibular

branches of the facial nerve.

71
Q

Muscle of the Cheek

A

Buccinator

72
Q

The buccinator originates from

A

the outer surface of the
alveolar margins of the mandible and maxilla, opposite the molars; it also originates from the pterygomandibular ligament.

73
Q

The buccinator is pierced by

A

the parotid duct. At the angle of the mouth, the muscle fibers decussate, or cross, and then blend with and forms part of, the
orbicularis oris.

74
Q

The buccinator is innervated by

A

the buccal branch of the facial nerve. Its action is to compress the cheeks and lips against the teeth.

75
Q

The facial nerve runs

A

forward in the substance of the
parotid gland, where it divides into its five terminal branches (Temporal branch, Zygomatic branch, Buccal branch, Mandibular branch, Cervical branch)

76
Q

Temporal branch

A

supplies the anterior and superior

auricular muscles, frontal belly of occipitofrontalis, orbiularis oculi, and corrugator supercilii.

77
Q

Zygomatic branch

A

supplies orbicularis oculi

78
Q

Buccal branch

A

supplies buccinator, muscles of the upper

lip and nostril.

79
Q

Mandibular branch

A

supplies muscles of the lower lip

80
Q

Cervical branch

A

supplies platysma
