Q

Where does the parotid gland sit?

A
  • Sits lateral aspect inferior to ear.
  • Sometimes extends below the mandible
  • Sits on ramus of mandible, on top of masseter muscle

Q

Describe the innervation of the parotid:

A

Sensory: V3 (Gland), C2 (parotid fascia (investing fascaia) (thus pain location changes)

Secretomotor; PSNS fibres: CN IX mainly & V3

SNS: Superior cervical ganglion vi ECA and MMA

Q

Describe the location of the parotid duct:

A

Parotid duct:
- Leaves ant. border, travels over masster, bends 90 Degrees, penetrating buccinator and opens next to second molar

Q

Why is the facial nerve important when it comes to the parotid gland?

A

Facial nerve exits via styloid mastoid foramen then leaves to parotid gland before branching.

Surgery / trauma can severely damage it

Q

Describe the branches of the facial nerve:

A

Branches:

Temporozygomatic:

  • > Temporal (if damaged cant shut eyes)
  • > Zygomatic
  • > Buccal

Cervicofacial

  • > Marginal mandibular (if damaged lower lip droops) (bells palsy)
  • > Cervical

Temporal and marginal mandibular are very superficial

Q

Whats superficial and deep to the facial nerve?

A

Superficial:
- Parotid gland

Deep:

  • Ext. carotid art
  • Retromandibular vein
  • Styloid

Facial nerve exits between styloid and mastoid before travelling through parotid gland

Q

What drains the posterior aspect of the head?

A
  • Mastoid nodes
  • Occipital nodes

Both of which drain into the upper cervical nodes

17
Q

Whys it important to know the trigeminal branches?

A

Because skin cancer is common in NZ and can travel up these nerves:

  • V1 = Upper face
  • V2 = Middleface
  • V3 = Lower face and lateral temporal aspect

31
Q

Describe the relation of the facial nerve to the structures in and around the parotid gland:

A
32
Q

What are the borders of the parotid gland?

A

Ant: Masseter and ramus of mandible

Post: Mastoid process, sternocleidomastoid

Sup: Zygomatic arch

Medial: Stylohyloid, stylopharyngeas, styloglossus muscle, external carotid branches: Superficial temporal art & maxillary art.

33
Q

What are the five divisions of the facial nerve once it leaves the parotid gland:

A

Temporal branch: (muscles of facial expression of eye)

Zygomatic branch (obicularis occuli)

Buccal branch : (Facial expression below orbit, above chin)

Marginal mandibular branches: Risorious muscle (smiling) + lower lip and chin.

Cervical branch: Platysma of neck

34
Q

What artery runs with the parotid duct?

A

Transverse facial artery (branch of superficial temporal artery)

35
Q

Describe the blood supply of the parotid gland:

A

Branch of the internal carotid:

  • Superificial temporal artery ->Transverse facial artery Supplys the gland and duct)
  • Maxillary artery

(draw diagram)

36
Q

What is freys syndrome?

A

Damage to the auriculotemporal nerve that results in uncontrolled sweating (of the head) when eating spicy food

37
Q

What infection causes swelling of the partoid gland?

A

Mumps
