Q

What is the pterion? What is its clinical significance?

A

Pterion is the area of the skull where the temporal, sphenoid, frontal, and parietal bones meet

  1. Auriculotemporal N.
  2. Lingual N.
  3. Inferior Alveolar N. (to mylohyoid)
20
Q

What branch of the External Carotid ends as the Angular Artery? [the terminal branch]

A

Facial Artery

  • Angular Artery anastomoses with infraorbital and opthalmic arteries*
21
Q

The superficial temporal artery runs with what nerve? What branch does it give off?

A
  1. Auricular Temporal Nerve

2. Transverse Facial Artery

22
Q

How can you distinguish external and internal carotid?

A

External carotid has branches

23
Q

What artery enters the submandibular gland?

A

Facial Artery

24
Q

What are the two terminal branches of the external carotid? What are the three branches by the hyoid bone?

A
  • Maxillary (deep to Masseter and Zygomatic arch)
  • Superficial temporal Artery ( can take one’s pulse here)
  1. Superior thyroid (below hyoid)
  2. Lingual (above)
  3. Facial Artery (above hyoid) –> should be highest*
25
Q

The maxillary artery enters the pterygopalatine fossa through the:

A

Pterygomaxillary Fissure

26
Q
Your patient has a thrombus in the maxillary artery at its initial branching from the external carotid. Which of the follow would till be normally vascularized?
A: the mandible
B: the dura (middle meningeal artery )
C: the Maxilla (superior alveolar A.)
D: the buccinator m. (Buccal Branch)
E: Parotid Gland
A

E: Parotid Gland

27
Q

Your patient complains of numbness on the left side of their face over the chin. You suspect they have a lesion of the:

A

Mandibular Nerve

28
Q

You are a second year resident and your attending instructs you to cannulate the parotid duct. Where would you look for the opening?
[BOARDS]

A

Across from the upper second molar

29
Q

What are some important branches of the axillary artery?

A

MAXILLARY Artery dives across the face

  1. Inferior Alveolar – in mandible, to the teeth (runs with inferior alveolar nerve)
  2. Middle Meningeal – enters the skull to supply the DURA MATER;  goes into the SKULL to supply the DURA (weak point in this area, the temporal region)
