H&N - Face and Scalp Flashcards
Parotid duct aka
Stensen’s duct
How does parotid duct get into mouth
After masseter muscle, dives into buccal fat and pierces buccinator muscle
End point of parotid duct
Near the second upper molar tooth
Structures through the parotid gland
Facial nerve
External carotid artery (and its branches; the maxillary and superficial temporal)
Retromandibular vein
Auriculotemporal nerve
Branches of facial nerve in facial canal
- greater petrosal nerve
- nerve to stapedius
- chorda tympani
Facial nerve branches through the stylomastoid foramen
Posterior auricular
Digastric
Stylohyoid
Facial nerve branches after entering parotid gland
The Zebra Buggered My Cat
Temporal branch
Zygomatic branch
Buccal branch
Marginal mandibular branch
Cervical branch
Functions of facial nerve
Face, ear, taste, tear
Taste: anterior 2/3
Tear: PSN to lacrimal and salivary glands
External carotid artery branches
