parotid and temporal regions + TMJ Flashcards
what artery and vein run through the parotid gland
retromandibular vein and external carotid a
parotid gland is inferior to what
external acoustic meatus
swelling of parotid gland does what to ear
pushes ear superolateral (Mumps)
what forms the retromandibular vein
superficial temporal and maxillary vein
where does the retromandibular vein enter the parotid gland
posterior to the ramus of the mandible
the retromandibular vein drains into:
splints into 2 divisions that drain into the external jugular vein(posterior) and internal jugular vein
distal postion of external carotid artery lies deep within what
parotid gland
what vein does the external carotid artery parallel
retromandiular vein
where does the external carotid artery split into its 2 terminal branches
posterior to the mandibular neck
what are the terminal branches of the external carotid artery
superficial temporal A
Maxillary A
order of stuff going through the parotid gland
lateral: facial nerve
retromandibular vein
medial: external carotid
how does the facial nerve leave the cranium
stylomastoid foramen
what plexus is formed by the facial nerve within the parotid
the parotid plexus
cervical branches of the facial nerve serve
the platysma
what is the parotid bed
the stuff behind the parotid gland
anterior and posterior bones of parotid bed
ramus
mastoid process
the fossa above and below the zygomatic arch
above: temporal fossa
Below: infratemporal fossa
2 parts of the ingratemporal fossa
one deep to ramus of mandibule
one deep to masseter but superficial to ramus
how superior does the temporal fossa extend
to the superior temporal line
what separates the superficaial temporal compartment from the deep
the temporal muscle
Contents of the temporal fossa
temporal fat pad
temporalis m
Neurovasculature
what coves the temporalis m
thick temporal facia
what works with the temporalis m to elevate mandible despite not being part of the temporal fossa
masseter m
where does the superficial temporal artery travel
between the tmj and external accoustic meatus (travels with the auriculo temporal)
where the maxillary artery is in relation to the lateral ptygoid
just lateral to it
the association between the auriculotemporal n and the middle meningeal artery
the auriculotemporal nerve bifurcates around the middle meningeal artery but then comes back together
trigeminal N mandibular division branches
auriculotemporal nerve anterior and posterior deep temporal nerve meningeal branch n Medial pterygoid tensor tympani tensor veli palatini n
travel of auriculotemporal nerve
with superficial temporal a and vein
deep to parotid galnd, posteior to TMJ
runs between auricle and condyle of the mandible
the auriculotemporal nerve does what
provides sensory innervation to TMJ and lateral scalp
carries parasympa fibers from CN IX into parotid gland
