Q

Layers of scalp

A

Skin

Connective tissue (dense)

Aponeurotic layer of occipito frontalis (Galear layer)

Loose connective tissue
Pericranium (ie periosteum)

22
Q

Innervation of scalp

A

Anterior to vertex: trigeminal

Posterior to vertex: C2 and C3 (great auricular, lesser and greater occipital, third occipital)

23
Q

In which layer of scalp do blood vessels and nerves lay

A

In dense connective tissue

24
Q

Scalp blood supply

A

Opthalmic artery (internal carotid): supratrochlear and supraorbital

External carotid: Post auricular, superficial temporal, occipital

25
Q

Why scalp lacerations bleed so profusely

A

Arterial wall firmly attached to fibrous tissue, cant vasospasm/contract so continues to bleed.

26
Q

How to rx scalp laceration and bleed

A

apply pressure

primary closure by suturing

27
Q

Which muscles close the jaw

A

Medial pterygoid

Masseter

Temporalis

28
Q

Submandibular gland duct

A

Whartons duct

29
Q

Which muscle divides the submnadibular gland into two parts

A

mylohyoid muscle

30
Q

Nerve around whartons duct

A

lingual

31
Q

What is the acini composition of the three salivary glands

A

Parotid: mainly serous

Sublingual: mainly mucous

Submandiblar: mixture of mucous and serous

32
Q

Where do majority of salivary gland stones form

A

Submandibular:

Slow movement of saliva

  • up ward against gravity
  • mucous composition
  • alkaline (deposits calcium crystals)
33
Q

Muscles of mastication

A

Masseter

Temporalis

Medial /lateral pterygoid

34
Q

Which muscle opens the jaw

A

lateral pterygoid muscle

35
Q

Position of lacrimal gland

A

Superior and lateral to the orbit

36
Q

Angle of the jaw innervation

A

C2-C3 (greater auricular nerve)

37
Q

Which muscles does mandibular nerve innervate

A

Muscles of mastication

Tensor veli oalatine

Mylohyoid

Anterior belly of digastric

Tensor tympani

38
Q

Blood supply of lacrimal apparatus

A

Ophthalmic artery

39
Q

Which nerve runs close to parotid duct

A

Buccal nerve of facial

40
Q

Mx of facial nerve laceration

A

Lateral to lateral canthus: surgical repair

Medial to lateral canthus line: surgery =conservative

Always check parotid duct (look for blood at papilla or put a cannula in)

41
Q

Where are scalp flaps taken from

A

Subgaleal layer (loose areolar connective tissue), fewer vessels

More superficial is very vascular and firmly attached

Deeper also done sometime but more vascular/attached to suture lines

42
Q

Branches of the maxillary artery

A

Terminal 6:

  • Posterior superior alveolar
  • Pterygoid canal
  • Palatine (greater- > hard palate, lesser → soft palate)
  • Sphenopalatine/nasopalatine
  • Pharyngeal
  • Infraorbital
43
Q

Muscles of soft palate

A

Tensor veli palatini

Levator veli palatini

Palatoglossus

Palatopharyngeus

Muscularis uvulae

44
Q

Action of tensor veli palatini

A

Pulls laterally flattening and tensing palate

45
Q

Action of levator veli palatini

A

Elevates soft palate, stopping food entering nasopharyinx during eating

Also helps tensor veli palatini to open the cartilagenous auditory tube to equalise middle ear pressure

46
Q

Action of palatopharyngeus

A

Elevates larynx and pharynx

Depresses soft palate

47
Q

Action of palatoglossus

A

inserts into lateral portion of tongue

Depresses soft palate

48
Q

Nerve supply to soft palate muscles

A

All vagus (pharyngeal plexus from CN10 and CN11)

Except tensor veli palatini → CN5V3

49
Q

Facial muscles

A

Depressor anguli oris

Mentalis

50
Q

Muscles deep to facial nerve

A

Mentalis

Buccinator

levator anguli oris

51
Q

Where are facial muscles cause horizontal and vertical wrinkles in glabella region?

A

Vertical: Corrugator causes

Horizontal: procerus
