Head, Face, Neck, Including Regional Lymphatic System Flashcards
Sutures
Cranial bones unite at meshed immovable joints
Anterior triangle
Lies in front between sternamastoid and midline of the body
Posterior triangle
Behind sternamatoid muscle, back of the neck
Highest structure in the neck is the
Hyoid bone
Preauricular
In front of the ear
Posterior auricular
Superficial to mastoid process
-behind the ear
Occipital
At base of skull
Submental
Midline, behind the tip of mandible
-under chin
Submandibular
Halfway between the angle and the top of mandible
-jaw line
Tonsillar
Under the angle of the mandible
-down from earlobe
Superficial cervical
Overlying the sternomastoid muscle (runs down back of ear to collarbone)
Deep cervical
Deep under the sternomastoid
-chain running from jaw line point down to collarbone slightly diagonal
Posterior cervical
In the posterior triangle along the edge of trapezius muscle
-midline of collarbone then up
Supraclavicualr
Just above and behind the clavicle at sternomastoid muscle
-above collarbone
Coronal suture
Crowns the head from ear to ear at union of frontal and parietal bones
Sagittal sutures
Separates the sides of the head lengthwise between two parietal bones
Lambdoid suture
Separates the parietal bones crosswise from occipital bone
Tracheal deviation is a form of ____ assessment
Emergency
-questions and intervening
Examples of limited questions during a trachael deviation
-ask about caregiver, who brought him in (bc he wont be able to talk himself)
-mechanism of injury (why is there a lung full of blood)
-any other life threatening injuries
-medications, allergies
General survey in trachael deviation
-labored breathing
-distress/anxiety
-diff speaking
Percussion during trachael deviation
-dull percussion over area of blood
-resonant in rest of lungs
If someone had a pneumothorax how would percussion lungs sound
Hyperressonant
SHN during trachael deviation
-paller (ashen, gray, dull)
-cyanosis (dark, lifeless)
How many facial bones are there
14
What facial bone does not connect to a suture and instead a joint
Mandible
How many vertebra is in cervical region
Seven
What is the useful landmark that is able to be felt
Vertebra prominenes
What and where are the two palpable salivary glands?
Parotid glands- are in the cheeks over the mandible, anterior to and blow the ear
Submandibular glands- beneath the mandible at the angle of the jaw
Major neck muscles are
Sternomastoid, trapezius
Major neck muscles are innervated by cranial nerve..
XI spinal accessory nerve
Where is the sternomastoid located
Arises from sternum and medial part of clavicle, extending diagonally across the neck to the mastoid process behind the ear
Where is the trapezius located
Each arises from the occipital bone and vertebrae and extends by fanning out to the scapula and clavical
The lobes of the trachea is connected by
A thin isthmus lying over the second and third trachael rings
Just above the thyroid iscthmus is the
Cricoid cartilage
Where is the Thyroid cartilage
Is above the circled cartilage with a small palpable notch (adams apple)
Fontanells
Are aspaces where sutures intersect in infants
Normocephalic
The term that denotes a round symmetrical skull that is appropriately related to body size
Bruit
A soft, whooshing, blowing sound best heard with the bell of the stethoscope
-normally present
