thick fascia
temporalis
neurovasc (sup, mid, deep temp aa)

23
Q

auriculotemporal n

A

br from CN V3
travels with sup temp a and v
sensory to TMJ and lat scalp
carries parasymp fibers from CN XI to parotid

24
Q

ant and post deep temporal nn

A

br of CN V3

passes sup to lat pterygoid m, deep to temporalis

25
Q

borders of infratemporal fossa

A

lat: ramus
med: lat pterygoid plate
ant: maxilla
post: tympanic plate, mastoid and styloid processes

26
Q

contents of infratemporal fossa

A

muscles: temporalis, med and lat pterygoids
neurovasc: maxillary and brs, pterygoid plevus of vv, CN V3, PSA, chorda tympani, otic ganglion, lesser petrosal

27
Q

CN V3

A

large sensory root, small motor root
immediately gives meningeal br
later gives medial pterygoid, tensor tympani and tensor veli palatini nn

28
Q

2 divisions of Cn V3

A

ant: small, mainly motor (1 sensory br- buccal n)
post: large, mainly sensory (1 motor br- mylohyoid)

29
Q

brs of CN V3

A
auriculotemporal (sensory)
buccal (sensory)
IA and lingual [ant to IA] (sensory)
masseteric [passes thru mand notch] and deep temp (motor)
med and lat pterygoid (motor)
30
Q

chorda tympani

A

CN VII-special sensory
joins lingual posteriorly
supplies parasymp innervation to lower 2 salivary glands
taste to ant 2/3 tongue

31
Q

TMJ

A
  • modified hinge synovial joint
  • disc moves forward, mand moves forward
  • stylomand ligament
  • sphenomand lingament
32
Q

stylomandibular ligament

A

styloid process -> post border of ramus

separates parotid and submand glands

33
Q

sphenomandibular ligament

A

spine of sphenoid bone -> lingula of mand

separated from capsule by max a and auriculotemp n

34
Q

ICA brs

A

opthalmic aa (anastamose with post communicating), terminate as mid and ant cerebral aa

35
Q

vertebrobasilar system

A
  • vert a gives ant and post spinal aa and PICA
  • basilar gives AICA
  • splits to form post cerebral
  • supplies posterior brain
