  • between the articular surfaces is a fibrocartilaginous articular disc
55
Q

movements of temporomandibular joint

A
  • during normal chewing, acts like a hinge between head of mandible and articular disc
  • during wide opening of mouth, mandible is depressed and pulled forward (protracted) by lateral pterygoid muscles
  • head of mandible and articular disc slide anteriorly on articular tubercles
  • allows for wider opening of mouth but also prevents angle of mandible from moving too far posteriorly
  • elevation achieved by temporalis and masseter muscles
  • retraction achieved achieved by temporalis muscles
56
Q

vasculature of masticatory apparatus

A
  • maxillary artery supplies the muscles of mastication
  • maxillary artery is a branch of the external carotid artery
  • middle meningeal artery = important branch of the maxillary artery, enters cranial cavity and supplies much of the dura mater
57
Q

cranial nerve

A
  • 12 pairs that emerge from brain and brainstem
  • some carry strictly sensory or motor info whereas others carry both
  • cranial nerve disorders can affect smell, taste, vision, sensation of the face, facial expression, hearing, balance, speech, swallowing and muscles of the neck
58
Q

eye drifts

A
  • lateral rectus and medial rectus must be activated to maintain a forward gaze, an imbalance would cause eye to drift to one side
  • dysfunctional lateral rectus muscle results in eye drifting towards midline (adducting)
  • lateral rectus receives motor innervation from CN VI the abducens nerve
59
Q

tooth sensation

A
  • trigeminal nerve carries general sensory info from upper and lower jaw
  • the lower jaw is specifically innervated by the terminal branch of the trigeminal nerve, the mandibular nerve
  • if mandibular nerve is damaged, sensation of lower jaw impaired
60
Q

smiling

A
  • facial nerve provides motor innervation to the muscles of facial expression
  • inability to move muscles of face to produce smile implicates this nerve
61
Q

tongue deviations

A
  • hypoglossal nerve controls the muscles of the tongue
  • if damaged, moving tongue in and out of mouth and using it to speak and swallow impaired
  • unilateral tongue weakness, tongue deviates towards weak side
62

65
Q

the otic ganglion

66
Q

arterial supply of the face

A

  • superficial temporal artery and facial artery are 2 branches of the external carotid artery that supply several structures of the face
67
Q

the ophthalmic artery

A
  • branch of the internal carotid artery
  • branches supply eyes and forehead
  • terminal branches of ophthalmic artery form extensive anastomoses with branches of facial, maxillary and superficial temporal arteries (all of which arise from the external carotid artery)
68
Q

the superficial temporal artery

A
  • arises from external carotid artery in parotid gland
  • ascends side of face and crosses over the zygomatic arch to supply the skin and muscles of the temple and scalp, in addition to the parotid gland
  • the pulse of the superficial temporal artery can be felt where it crosses the zygomatic arch, anterior to the ear
69
Q

the facial artery

A
  • enters the face by passing over the lower border of the mandible, running in a tortuous course towards the medial angle of the eye
  • has this course to accommodate movements of the fave, namely regions of the eyes, mandible and lips
  • the facial artery supplies superficial structures of the skin and face, such as some muscles of facial expression and mastication
  • because the facial artery runs superficially, the pulse of the facial artery can be felt where it crosses the mandible
70
Q

venous drainage of the face

A
  • mainly drained by facial vein which travels alongside the facial artery and empties into the internal jugular vein
  • facial vein (through deep communication veins ex. ophthalmic vein) drains into cavernous sinus
71
Q

cavernous sinus

A
  • one of the dural venous sinuses

- functions to drain blood from brain

72
Q

what is unique about the veins of the face

A

they do not contain valves, allowing blood to flow in either direction
- facial vein can be a conduit for infections to spread from face intracranially, to the cavernous sinuses

73
Q

the danger triangle

A
  • trochlear nerve (CV IV), abducens nerve (CV VI) and the ophthalmic nerve (CN V1) are cranial nerves that would likely be affected by an infection of the cavernous sinus
74
Q

lymphatics of the head and neck

A

3 groups of lymph nodes: superficial ring of nodes (collar nodes), superficial cervical nodes and deep cervical nodes

75
Q

collar nodes

A

name originates from location of traditional collar at junction of head and neck

76
Q

superficial cervical nodes

A

found on surface of sternocleidomastoid muscle and are associated with external jugular vein

77
Q

deep cervical nodes

A

found deep to sternocleidomastoid and are closely related to the internal jugular vein

  • all lymphatic drainage of head and neck empties into deep cervical nodes
  • deep cervical nodes drain into right lymphatic duct and thoracic duct, draining the right and left sides respectively
