HEAD, FACE, NECK, AND TMJ Flashcards
LAYERS OF THE SCALP
Skin
Connective Tissue
Aponeurosis
Loose Connective Tissue
Pericranium
- Epidermis & dermis
- has hair follicles & sebaceous glands
SKIN
conserves heat and gives aesthetic purposes
HAIR FOLLICLES
- adipose tissue fat
- houses terminal ends of cutaneous nerves and blood vessels
CONNECTIVE TISSUE
attaches the frontalis muscle and occipital muscle
Galea Aponeurotica
Scalp Proper
- Skin
- Connective Tissue
- Aponeurosis
keeps the skin and connective tissue close together
Aponeurosis
if there is a laceration in the galea aponeurotica, frontalis and occipitalis muscle will contract in ______ direction.
OPPOSITE
Where puss and blood infection can spread all across the scalp
Loose Connective Tissue (LCT)
Danger Area of the scalp
- 4th layer or LCT
Infection that can be caused by infection route from the LCT through the emissary veins to the cranial cavity
Meningitis
Outside of the skull bones
Pericranium or Periosteum
Innervation of Posterior Scalp
Greater & Lesser Occipital nerve
Associate with cerebral plexus
Lesser Occipital Nerve
Greater Occipital Nerve
Dorsal Ramus
Lesser Occipital Nerve
Ventral Ramus
Innervation of Anterior Scalp
- Supraorbital
- Supratrochlear
Gives rise to many branch of nerve like supraorbital and supratrochlear nerve.
Opthalmic Nerve or CN V-1 of Trigeminal Nerve
Innervation of the Lateral Scalp
- Zygomaticotemporal (CN-V2)
- larger Auriculotemporal (CN V-3) of the mandibular branch of the trigeminal nerve
Vascular Supply of the scalp comes from
- Internal & external carotid artery
3 Arterial Supply from - EXTERNAL CAROTID
- Occipital Artery
- Posterior Auricular Artery
- Superficial temporal Artery
Artery that overline the occipital bone
Occipital Artery
Artery behind the ear
Posterior Auricular Artery
Superficial Artery that lines the temporal bone
Superficial Temporal Artery
Most common large vessel vasculitis, primarily affecting the cranial arteries and aorta.. superficial temporal artery
Giant Cell (temporal) Arteritis
Internal Carotid Artery gives rise to (2)
Supraorbital and Supratrochlear Artery
Connection between adjacent structures (arteries)
Anastomosis
Because of this, there is a rich blood supply to the scalp which make it easy for the scalp to give off heat
Anastomotic Connection
