Head + Neck Anatomy Chapter 9 Flashcards
The maxillary has 2 main branches called
Nasopalatine nerve and greater palatine nerve
the 3 smaller nerve branches off the maxillary are called
PSA, ASA, MSA
PSA stands for
Posterior superior alveolar nerve
What does the PSA do
Freezes the first, second and third molars
ASA stands for
Anterior superior alveolar nerve
What does the ASA do
freezes the front 6 teeth
MSA stands for
Middle superior alveolar nerve
What does the MSA do
Freezes first and second pre molars. And the root of first molar
The Mandibular has 3 main branches called
Buccal nerve, lingual nerve, and inferior alveolar nerve
The buccal nerve is responsible for freezing where
Mucous membrane, mucous periosteum and the retrmolar pad
what does the lingual nerve freeze?
anterior 2/3 of the tongue, and lingual mucosa membrane
The inferior alveolar nerve freezes what in the mouth
all of them up to the midline, the first 2/3 of tongue, mucosa, and floor of mouth
What are the three nerve branches from the inferior alveolar nerve
incisive, mental, mylohyoid
the sternocleidomastoid muscle is located where
from the clavicle up to the external auditory meatus
the trapezius is located where
the occipital bone down to the clavicle
The muscle surrounding your mouth responsible for closing and puckering lips is called?
the orbicularis oris
The Buccinator muscle does what function
compresses the cheeks to teeth for support
Where is the mentalis facial muscle located and what does it do
the chin, raises and wrinkles the chin & pushes up lower lip
What facial muscle is used when laughing to draw angle of the mouth up
Zygomatic major
How many facial expression muscles are there?
4
Mastication muscles aid in what action
chewing
what are the 4 mastication muscles
temporal, messeter, internal(medial) pterygoid, external(lateral) pterygoid
the medial pterygoid is responsible for
closing the jaw
The lateral pterygoid is responsible for
opening the jaw
Mylohyoid floor muscle is what two working together
mylohyoid ridge and the hyoid. raising the tongue and lowering jaw
what are the 4 floor muscles called
mylohyoid, stylohyoid, geniohyoid, gastric
mastication muscles are fed by what nerve
the 5th cranial nerve (trigeminal nerve)
what’s the 7th cranial nerve
the facial nerve - responsible for expression
what is the 12th cranial nerve
the hypoglossal nerve - responsible for movement in the tongue
VII is what number
7
