Parotid Region Flashcards
Facial nerve route
Into accoustic meatus.
Comes out between styloid and mastoid processes.
Branches after exits parotid gland
Branches of facial nerve
To Zanzibar By Motor Car Temporal Zygomatic Buccal Marginal mandibular Cervicak
Parotid gland derived from
Investing layer of deep fascia
What innervates the parotid gland.
Auriculotemporal (V3) and great auricular nerve (cervicak plexus 2,3)
Parasym action of parotid gladn
Increased activity of acinar, ductal cells = increased blood flow, increased salivary secretions
Floor of temporal fossa
Four bones that make up pterion (frontal, temporal, sphenoid, parietal)
Middle meningeal artery
Deep to pterion
In middle cranial fossa
Contents of infratemporal fossa (6)
Temporalis Lat and medial pterygous Maxillary artery Ptygoid venous plexus V3 nerves Otic ganglion
Superficial muscles of mastication
Temporalis (elevation, retrusion, lat movement of mandible)
Masseter (elevation,protrusion, lateral movement)
Deep muscles of mastication
Lateral pterygoid (depression, protrusion, contralateral movement) Medial pterygoid (elevation, protrusion, contralateral movement)
Innervation of buccinator
Buccal branch of CN VII
CN V3 entry to skull
Foramen ovale
Branches of CN V3
"BAIL" Buccal (sens) Auriculotemporal Inferior alveolar Lingual
CN VII entry to skull
Internal accoustic meatus to stylomastoid foramen
Chorda Tympani
Branch of CN VII.
Taste fibres from ant 2/3 of tongue.
Secretomotor fibres for submandibular, sublingual glands
Lesser petrosal nerve
Visceral motor component of CN IX (glossopharyngeal)
Secretommotor to parotid gland
Branches of maxillary artery
MIMAPBS Middle meningeal (foramen spinosum) Inferior alveolar Muscular branches Anterior deep temporal Posterior deep temporal Buccal Sphenopalatine
Articular disc of TMJ separates
Superior discotemporal space
Inferior discomandibular space
Superior cavity of TMJ action
Protrusion and retrusion
