Head, Mouth Flashcards
Suture
Fibrous joint/ collagen fibers
Bregma suture
T suture that has the coronal and sagittal sutures
Lambdoid suture
suture that has the sagittal and occipital sutures
Pterion
junction of the frontal, parietal, temporal, sphenoid bones are; vital because it overlaps the middle meningeal artery which can fatal when hit
Fontanelle
bones that are not fused yet
useful during birth (can change shape)
will become hard during the intramembranous ossificiation
Orbits
Palatine Lacrimal Zygomatic Frontal Maxilla Ethmoid Sphenoid
Fissures
Superior Orbital Fissure: CN III, IV, V1, VI
Inferior Orbital Fissure: CN V2
Optic Fissure: CN II
Mandible
Mandibular foramen: nerves
Mental foramen: nerves and BV
SCALP
Skin Connective Tissue Aponeurosis Tissue Loose Areolar Connective Tissue Periosteom
SCALP: which tissues are all fused?
Skin, Connective, Aponeurosis
SCALP: What is A?
Aponeurosis: connected by the muscles at the top of the head
SCALP: what does L do?
Loose areolar tissue: allows the scalp to move
Anastomosis
the pathway that connects the BV to the tissues
Collateral cicurlation
the alternative pathway that connects the BV to the tissues
The pathway of the external carotid artery to the face (draw)
external carotid a. branches off to the (1) lingual a. (2) facial a. (3) superfical temporal (4) maxillary (4a) middle meningeal a (4b) inferior alveolar a.
The pathways of the internal carotid artery of the scalp (draw)
internal carotid a. branches off to the (1) supraorbital a (2) supratrochlear a
The pathway of the external carotid artery of the scalp (draw)
external carotid a branches off to the (1) occipital a. (2) posterior auricular a. (3) superficial temporal a.
The pathway of the external veins of the face (draw)
external v branches off to (1) retromandibular v. (2) maxillary v (3) retromandibular turns into superficial temporal v (4) supraorbital v (5) supratrochlear v
Danger triangle of the face
infxns can move through the sinuses that can end up in the brain
facial v is connected to the cavernous sinus by:
(1) superior opthalmic v
(2) inferior opthalmic v
(3) pteyrgoid plexus
Cavernous sinus
surrounded by the pituitary gland, optic chiasm, draining the brain
made up by the facial v (superior opthalmic v, inferior opthalmic v, and the pterygoid plexus)
Branches of the facial nerves
CN VII: chorda tympani (sensory: taste to anterior 2/4 tongue)
TZBMC
Temporal, zygomatic, buccal, mandibular, cervical
What muscles are controlled by the TZBMC nerves?
Temporal - wrinkle forehead - frontal m, orbicularis m
Zygomatic - smile - zygomatic m, orbicularis m
Buccal - pucker lips - buccuinator m, orbicularis m
Mandibular - obicularis m.
Cervical - platysma m
