Face, Scalp, & Lymphatics Flashcards
Scalp Layering
SCALP
Skin
Connective tissue
Aponeurotic layer
Loose connective tissue
Pericranium
Connective tissue layer
-Contains vessels from supraorbital, supratrochlear, superficial temporal, posterior auricular, and occipital aa.,
-Contains nerves from V1, V2, V3 (from trigeminal n.) anterior and posterior rami nn.
Aponeurotic layer
Contains frontal belly of occipitofrontalis and occipital belly of occipitofrontalis
Held by epicranial aponeurosis
Loose connective tissue
-“Danger Space” of scalp
-Infections can spread from the loose CT to the meninges by way of the emissary veins
-Emissary veins pass through the calvaria into the cranial cavity
Pericranium
Fibrous layer different above the skull
Muscles of the Scalp & Ears
Frontal belly of occipitofrontalis
Anterior auricular m.
Superior auricular m.
Occipital belly of occipitofrontalis
Posterior auricular m.
Frontal belly
Occipital belly
Muscles of the Facial Expression
Inn: CN VII (facial n.)
Frontal belly of occipitofrontalis m.
Orbicularis oculi m.- orbital part and palpebral part
Zygomaticus major m.
Zygomaticus minor m.
Levator labii superioris m.
Depressor anguli oris m.
Buccinator m.
Orbicularis oris m.
Depresor labii inferioris m.
Platysma m.
Eye region
Inn: facial nerve (CN VII)
Frontal belly of occipitofrontalis m. - raises eyebrow, wrinkles forehead, protracts scalp (surprise)
Orbicularis oculi m. - closes eye: palpebral part gently, orbital part tightly (winking)
Corrugator supercilii m.- draws eyebrow medially and inferiorly, creating vertical wrinkles above nose (demo: concern or worry as in frowning)
Nasal Region
Inn: Facial n. (CN VII)
Procerus m.- wrinkles bridge of nose (convey distain or dislike)
Nasalis m.- compresses & dilates nostril
Levator labii superioris alaque nasi m.- dilates nostril
Oral Region
Inn: facial n. (CN VII)
Orbicularis Oris m.- closes mouth (kissing/blowing air)
Zygomaticus major/minor mm.- draws mouth up
Depressor anguli oris m.- depresses angle of mouth (frown/sadness)
Buccinator m.- compresses cheek & assists with mastication
Platysma m.- depresses mandible and tenses skin (stress)
Muscles of Mastication
Temporalis m. and Masseter m.
Inn: Mandibular division of trigeminal n. (CN V3)
Action: elevate mandible/ close jaw
Sensory Innervation of Scalp & Face
Trigeminal n. (CN V): face & anterior scalp
Cervical nn. (C2, C3): jaw, ears, posterior scalp
Motor Innervation of Scalp & Face
Facial n. (CN VII)
-Muscles of facial expression
Mandibular division of trigeminal n. (CN V3)-
- Muscles of mastication
Sensory Innervation: V1
Opthalmic n. V1
Branches off trigeminal n., provides cutaneous innervation from nose to half on top of head
Branches: supra-orbital n., supratorchlear n., lacrimal n., infratrochlear n., external nasal n.
Sensory Innervation: V2
Maxillary n. V2
Branches off trigeminal n., provides cutaneous innervation from sides of head to cheek bone area
Branches: zygomaticotemporal n., zygomaticofacial n., infra-orbital n.
