Functions of the neck
Structural – supports and moves the head
Visceral functions – contains the airway and oesophagus, digestive and respirarty system
Conduit for blood vessels & nerves
whats fascia
connective tissue composed of connective fibres, organises body in diffrent comparments
permits spread of infections within compartments
pretracheal fascia function
sorounds viscreal components of neck
digestive, repsiraty system
corotid sheath
sorounds blood vessels
prevertebral fascia
sorounds muscles
what can you find in the pretacheal fascia
osephagus, trachea and thyroid
what is within the invetsing fascia
sternocleidomastoid muscle
what is within the carotid sheath
you can see the jungular vein
common coritid artery
vagus nerve
what are the triangles of the neck
anterior and posterior triangles
what does the sternocleidomastoid muscle do
divides teh neck in the two muscles
what muscles surround the posterior triangle
and theclast part
trapezuis muscle (posterior) sternocleidomastoid (anterior) clavicle on the bottom
what does teh anterior triangle contain
muscle blood vessels (corotid arteries)
what does the posterior triangle contain
Mainly blood vessels and nerves:
what do the external and internal coritid artery supply
external = face internal = brain
what does teh maxillary division supply
the meninges
what are the 3 types of muscles making up the facial muscles
orbital
nasal
oral
what are they controlled by
cranial nerve 7
what do the orbital muscles control
eyelids
aurical muscles control what
ear
where does the cranial nerve divide up
parotid gland
what joins the mandible and temparol bone
TMJ
what are the 2 projection of the mandible
condylar process
coronoid process
function of TMJ
allowing chewing (mastication)
what are the muscles that control mastication
muscle of mastication
what CN are they controlled by
CN 5
when the jaw is slighty open, what predominates
a hinge action
what happens when the jaw is open fully
a hinge and gliding action occur
when the jaw moves forward
protrusion
when the mandible moves backwards
retraction
up
elevation
doen
depression
what 2 muscles causes the movement
Masseter
Temporalis
what does the Temporalis muscle cause
elevates and retracts mandible
Masseter cause
elevates mandible (allows forced closure of mouth)
what are teh 2 deeper musces controlling teh mandible
lateral and medial pteryoid muscle
what does the lateral pteryoid muscle do
attached to sphenoid and mandible
depress and protract madible when opening mouth
medial pm
bring elevation and protraction
side to side used for grinding
what does the orbit contain
eyeball
muscle moving eye
optic nerve
other nerve and vessel r
what 4 walls make up the orbit
roof
floor
lateral
medial
what makes up the roof
orbital plate of frontal bone
floor
orbitl plate of maxilla
medial
ethmoid and lacrimal bone
