Facial Expression and Mastication Flashcards
what are the boudndaries of the scalp
supraorbital margin superior nuchal line anterior to posterior
temporal fascia to zygomatic arch laterally
what are the layers of the scalp
Skin Connective tissue (dense) Aponeurosis (Galea aponeurotic): links frontal and occipitals muscles Loose connective tissue Pericardium
what are the boundaries for the face
below supraorbital margin to the chin, ear to ear
facial expressions are controlled by what
face and scalp
where does the emissary vein drain to the cranial sinus and what is the significance of this
loose connective tissue of scalp
danger to possible infection spread
describe the location of the fibrocartilage disc of the temporomandibular joint
superior compartment: mandibular fossa is superior and disc is inferior = translational movement
inferior compartment: disc is superior and mandibular condyle inferior = rotational movement
what muscles assist in TMJ protrusion
lateral pterygoid assisted by medial pterygoid
what muscles assist in TMJ retraction
posterior fibers of temporalis, deep part of masseter, and geniohyoid and digastric
what muscles assist in TMJ elevation
temporalis, masseter, and medial pterygoid
what muscles assist in TMJ depression
gravity, digastric, geniohyoid, and mylohyoid muscles
what causes TMJ popping or clicking
hypermobile joint capsule, tight pterygoid or damaged disc
all can place disc anterior against the articular tubercle
mandibular condyle reducing to the disc will cause clicking
what are the boundaries of the temporal fossa
posterior and superior: temporal lines
anterior: frontal and zygomatic bones
lateral: zygomatic arch
inferiorly: infra temporal crest
floor: pterion
roof: temporalis fascia
what are the contents of the temporal fossa q
upper portion of temporalis
what are the boundaries of the infra temporal fossa
deep to zygomatic arch and ramus of mandible
posterior to maxilla
bordered by lateral pterygoid plate
what are the contents of the infatemporal fossa
lower portion of temporalis miscles lateral and medial pterygoid muscle maxillary artery pterygoid bvenous plexus mandibular, inferior alveolar, lingual, buccal, and Chora tympani nerves otic ganglion
what are the boundaries of the pterygopalatine fossa
roof: greater wing of sphenoid
medially: perpendicular plate of palatine
anteriorly: the posterior aspect of the maxilla
posteriorly: pterygoid process
floor: pyramidal process of palatine
contents of the pterygopalatine fossa
pterygopalatine ganglion
pterygopalatine part of maxillary artery
where can you find the facial nerve
junction of pons and medulla oblongata
where does the facial nerve cross
crosses internal meatus
branches of nerve hike the trigeminal nerves
terminal branch crosses stylomastoid foramen
somatic motor functions of the facial nerve
motor to stapedius = in middle ear
motor to 2 supra hyoid muscles = stylohyoid and digastric posterior belly
motor to facial expression muscles
visceral motor (parasympathetic) functions of facial nerve
pterygopalatine ganglion: lacrimal glands, nasal and palatine mucosa (greater petrosal nerve)
submandibular ganglion: submandibular and sublingual salivary glands (chorda tympani)
somatic sensation of the facial nerve
external ear
visceral sensation of the facial nerve
taste to anterior 2/3 of the tongue = chemical sensation
what branch of the facial nerve is implicated in the internal acoustic meatus after the genticulate ganglion
greater petrosal nerve
i.e. loss of lacrimal/sinys mucosal glands visceral motor
what branch of the facial nerve is implicated before crossing the tympanic cavity
stapedial nerve
hyperacusis (normal sounds = unbearably loud)
what branch of the facial nerve is implicated after crossing the tympanic cavity
chorda tympani
chemical sensation
what branch of the facial nerve is implicated after leaving the stylomastoid foramen
digastric posterior belly
stylohyoid
terminal branch
What are the branches of the facial nerve that control facial expressions
Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Mandibular Cervical Posterior auricular
Two Zebras Bit My Cookies
** more of a network of nerves; not generally one individual branch isolated**
what are the three divisions of the trigiminal nerve
ophthalmic
maxillary
mandibular
what are the functions of the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve
opthalamic = purely somatosensory maxillary = purely somatosensory mandibular = mix of somatic motor and sensory
where do the 3 divisions of the trigeminal nerve cross
all are through the sphenoid bone
opthalamic = crossing superior orbital fissure maxillary = crossing foramen of rotundum mandibular = crossing foramen ovale
what are the terminal sensory branches of the opthalamic, maxillary, and mandibular nerves
opthalamic = terminal branch is supraorbital nerve
maxillary = terminal branch is the infraorbital nerve
mandibular = terminal sensory branch is mental nerve
what are the motor innervations of the mandibular nerve
muscles of mastication
suprahyoid muscles
tensor tympani
tensor veli palatini
