Jarvis Chapter 13 Head, face, Neck and Lymphs Flashcards
Rigid bony box that protects the brain and special sense organs it includes the bones of the cranium and the face.
Skull
Cranial Bones
- Frontal
- Parietal
- Occipital
- Temporal
Immovable joints where adjacent and cranial bones unite
Suture
Crowns the head from ear to ear at the union of the frontal and parietal bones
Coronal sutures
Separates the head lengthwise between the two parietal bones
Sagittal Sutures
Separates the paretal bones crosswise from the occipital bone
Lamboid Sutures
Palpable spinous process of C7
Vertebra prominens
Opening between eyelids- are equally bilateral.
Palpebral fissures
The creases extending from the nose to each corner of the mouth, should look symmetrical.
Nasolabial folds
Facial nerve. mediates the facial muscles.
Cranial nerve VII
Trigeminal nerve. mediates the facial sensations of pain or touch
Cranial nerve V
Cranial Nerve V
Trigeminal
Cranial nerve VII
Facial
Salivary glands in the cheeks over the mandible, anterior to and below the ear. largest of the salivary glands but are not normally palpable. enlarged with mumps and AIDS
Parotid glands
Salivary glands beneath the mandible at the angle of the jaw
Submandibular glands
Salivary glands. in the floor of the mouth
Sublingual glands
Lies superior to the temporalis muscle. its pulsation is palpable anterior to the ear
Temporal artery
Branches off common carotid and runs inward and upward to supply the brain
Internal carotid
Supplies the face, salivary glands, and superficial temporal area
External Carotid
Innervatd by cranial nerve XI. arises from the sternum and clavicle and extends diagonally across the neck to the mastid process behind the ear. accomplishes head rotation and head flexion
Sternomastoid muscle
Move shoulders and extend and turn the head
Trapezius
AKA upper trachial ring. just above the thyroid isthmus
Cricoid cartilage
Above cricoid cartilage. Adam’s apple
Thyroid cartilage
Above thyroid cartilage. At level of the floor of the mouth
Hyoid bone
Lymph node located in front of the ears.
Preauricular
Lymph node located superficial to the mastoid process
Postauricular
Lymph node located at the base of the skull.
Occipital
Lymph node located midline, behind the tip of the mandible.
Submental
Lymph node located halfway between the angle and the tip of the mandible
Submandibular
Limph node located under the angle of the mandible
Jugolodigastric
Lymph node overlying the sternomastoid muscle
Superficial cervical
Lymph node deep under the sternomastoid muscle
Deep cervical chain
Lymph node located in the posterior triangle along the edge of the trapezius muscle
Posterior cervical
Lymph node located just above and behind the clavicle, at the sternomastoid muscle
Supraclavicular
Spaces where sutures intersect. aka soft spots. allow for growth of brain during the first year
Fontanels
Tend to be occipital, frontal, or with bandlike tightness. Associated with anxiety and stress
Tension headache
Aka vascular. tend to be supraorbital, retro-orbital, or frontotemporal. pain is throbbing and severe. occur about twice per month, each lasting 1 to 3 days. associated with nasea, vomiting, and visual disturbances. precipitated by alcohol, letdown after stress, menstruation, and eating chocolate or cheese. associated with family history of migraines. lying down helps relieve pain
Migraine
Produce pain around the eye, temple, forehead, cheek. pain is always unilateral. excrutiating. occur twice per day, each lasting 1/2 to 2 hours for 1 to 2 months. remission may last for months or years. precipitated by alcohol ingestion or daytime napping. associated with eye reddening and tearing, eyelid drooping, rhinorrhea, and nasal congestion. moving around helps pain.
Cluster headache
