What shape is the temporalis?
Fan shaped
Where is the temporalis located?
At the side of the head
What are the attachments of the temporalis?
Coronoid process of the mandible
Temporal fossa
What are the attachments of the masseter muscle?
Zygomatic bone
Outer surface of the ramus and coronoid process of the mandible
What 2 movements does the masseter create?
Elevation
Retraction
Where are the pterygoid muscles attached?
To the lateral pterygoid plate of the sphenoid bone
Where does the lateral pterygoid muscle attach?
To the lateral surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
Where does the medial pteryoid muscle attach?
To the medial surface of the lateral pterygoid plate
What is the movement with contraction of the lateral pterygoid?
Retraction
What is the innervation of the muscles of mastication?
By branches of CNV3
Which is the only division of CNV that carries both sensory and motor fibres?
CNV3
What do the motor branches of CNV3 supply?
Muscles of mastication
Where does the inferior alveolar n. enter?
Mandibular foramen
What is the lingual n. a branch of?
CN V3
What are the functions of the nose?
Traps pathogens
Humidification
Warms air
Olfaction
Which bone forms the bridge of the nose?
Nasal bone
Which bone lies superiorly of the nose as the nasion?
Frontal bone
Which bone lies laterally of the nose?
Frontal process of the maxilla
Which bones form the roof of the nose?
Nasal bones
Part of the frontal bone
Ethmoid bone - forms cribriform plate
Body of sphenoid
Which bones form the floor of the nose?
Maxilla
Palatine bones
What is the function of the nasal septum?
Divides the nasal cavity in 2
Which bones form the nasal septum?
Vomer
Perpendicular plate of the ethmoid
What completes the nasal septum anteriorly?
Septal nasal cartilage
What passes through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid?
Olfactory nerves pass
CNI
What is the crista gali an attachment for?
Falx cerebri
Which bone forms the superior and middle conchae?
Ethmoid bone
What is the hard palate formed by?
Maxilla and palatine bones
Which epithelium lines the nasal cavity?
Ciliated pseudostratified columnar epithelium
Which cranial nerve is responsible for olfaction?
CN I
Where do axons of CN I pass?
Through the cribriform plate of the ethmoid bone
What are the projections in the nasal cavity called?
Conchae/turbinates
What is the space inferior to the conchae called?
Meatuses
Where does the nasal lacrimal duct drain?
Inferior conchae
What is the blood supply to the nose?
ICA
ECA
What is the clinical significance of the rich blood supply of the nose?
Epistaxis
What are paranasal sinuses?
Air filed spaces that surround the nasal cavity
What is the mucous lining of the paranasal sinuses? What is the significance of this?
Same as the nasal cavity
Useful for trapping and sweeping pathogens
What opens into the spheno-ethmoidal recess?
Sphenoid air cells
What opens into the superior meatus?
Posterior ethmoid air cells
What drains into the middle meatus?
Maxillary
Frontal sinus
Anterior and middle ethmoid air cells
What opens into the inferior meatus?
Nasolacrimal duct
