Head face and neck Flashcards
junction between the frontal and nasal bones
Nasion
external occipital protuberance
Inion
highest point in reference to the anatomical
position of the skull
Vertex
where the parietal, frontal, temporal, and
sphenoid bones meet
Pterion
opposite C3 vertebra; embedded
posteriorly
Hyoid Bone
palpable protuberance
Thyroid Cartialge
opposite C6 vertebra
Cricoid Cartilage
why hyoid bone cannot be palpated
it is embedded posteriorly
SCALP
Skin Con Tis Aponeurotic Loos areolar layer Percranium
afferent nerves that receive pain,
temperature, pressure, etc
Cutaneous nerves
flattened tendon of the
occipito-frontalis muscles
Aponeurtoic (epicranium)
layer responsible for mobility, contains
emissary veins
Loose areolar layer
Periosteum of the outer table
Pericranium
functions both as a motor and
sensory nerve
Trigeminal nerve
Superficial vessels include
arteries, veins and nerves they supply massive amount of blood into the head
The lymphatic system is made up of
lymph nodes and channels
The lymph fluid contains
immune bodies
where does the lymphatic system converge
neck
follow the external
jugular vein which are superficial to the
sternocleidomastoid muscle
superficial group of nodes
follow the course of the
internal jugular vein deep within the carotid
sheath
Deep group of nodes
how many levels in cervical lymph nodes
7
major vessels of the neck
common carotid
internal and external carotid
internal jugular vein
this vessel supplies the cranial vault
internal carotid
this vessel supplies the extracranial areas
external carotid
where is the common carotid located
under the sternocleidomastoid
Level 1B is bounded by the anterior and posterior bellies of the _____and ____ border of the mandible
digastric and inferior
This level contains the mandibular gland
IB
This level is located posterior to the spinal accessory nerve (CN X1)
IIb/ submusclar triangle
The most inferior level
level IV
this level forms the posterior neck triangle
Level V
levels that contains the central group of nodes
VI and VII
