Lecture 7: Superficial Face and Scalp Flashcards
What are the five layers of the scalp?
Skin
Connective tissue
Aponeurosis
Loose connective tissue
Pericranium
What is the most vascularized layer of the scalp?
- Dense* Connective tissue
- Holds arteries open
What muscle is attached to the aponeurosis of the scalp?
Occipitalis Frontalis Muscle
What layer of the scalp can become a potential space for infection?
Loose connective tissue
What layers of the scalp form the scalp proper?
Skin
Connective tissue (dense)
Aponeurosis
What direction does the neurovasculature of the scalp travel?
Inferior to superior
What layer of the scalp must be cut through to cause a gaping wound?
Aponeurosis - provides attachment for muscles which can pull back and cause a gaping wound
Where is the parotid gland?
Goes from Zygomatic Arch to Inferior Border of Mandible
What are the three major structures passing through the Parotid gland?
Facial Nerve (does not innervate gland)
Retromandibular Vein
External Carotid Artery
What muscle does the parotid duct dive into?
Buccinator Muscle
What is the sensory innervation of the parotid gland?
What is the parasympathetic innervation of the parotid gland?
Sensory: Auricolotemporal Nerve (branch of CN V3) and Great Auricular Nerve
Parasympathetic: CN IX
Why would a patient with mumps have pain in the cheek?
Parotid gland is swelling and is constricted by investing layer of deep cervical fascia and cannot expand
What part of the orbicularis oculi closes the eye tightly?
Orbital part
What part of the orbicularis oculi gently closes the ey?
Palpebral part
What cranial nerve closes the eye?
What cranial nerve opens the eye?
Closes: Cranial Nerve VII (Facial)
Opens: Cranial Nerve III (Oculomotor)
What is the embryonic origin of the muscles of facial expression?
Pharyngeal Arch 2

Where does the Facial Nerve enter the skull?
Where does the Facial Nerve exit the skull?
Enter: Internal Acoustic Meatus
Exit: Stylomastoid Foramen
