Cranial nerves Cranial fossa SCALP, CALVARIA, & MENINGES OF THE BRAIN AND SPINAL CORD
Passage for the spinal cord,
meninges,
vertebral arteries, and
spinal accessory nerves.
Foramen Magnum
Transmitting oculomotor nerve (CN III),
trochlear nerve (CN IV),
ophthalmic division of trigeminal nerve (CN V1),
abducens nerve (CN VI), and
ophthalmic veins.
Superior Orbital Fissure
Structures: Transmitting the optic nerve (CN II) and ophthalmic artery.
Optic Canal
Passage for the maxillary division of trigeminal nerve (CN V2).
Foramen Rotundum
Transmitting the glossopharyngeal nerve (CN IX),
vagus nerve (CN X),
accessory nerve (CN XI),
jugular vein, and
meningeal branches.
Jugular Foramen
Location: Located in the lesser wing of the sphenoid bone.
Optic Canal:
Location: Between the lesser and greater wings of the sphenoid bone.
Superior Orbital Fissure:
Filled with cartilage in the living, but transmits small meningeal vessels
Foramen Lacerum
, positioned exceptionally close to the skin surface, exhibit minimal subcutaneous fat between their fibers and the dermis
orbicularis oculi muscles
Transmitting the middle meningeal artery and
meningeal branch of mandibular nerve (CN V3).
Foramen Spinosum
Transmitting the mandibular division of trigeminal nerve (CN V3),
accessory meningeal artery, and
emissary veins.
Foramen Ovale
Passage for facial nerve (CN VII), vestibulocochlear nerve (CN VIII), and labyrinthine artery.
Internal Acoustic Meatus
The facial muscles play two crucial roles within the body:
mastication and
facial expressions
T or F
The medial pterygoid,
originating on the lateral pterygoid plate, completes a sling with the temporalis,
FALSE
The medial pterygoid,
originating on the lateral pterygoid plate, completes a sling with the masseter,
a fan-shaped origin across multiple bones, deepens beneath the
zygomatic arch and inserts on the mandibleβs coronoid process and ramus
temporalis
originating beneath the zygomatic arch, wraps around the mandible angle, ensuring robust jaw closure
masseter
The primary muscles involved in mastication
Temporalis,
Medial
Pterygoid,
Lateral pterygoid, and
Masseter
situated more superficially, causes vertical glabellar rhytides or βfrown lines,β
corrugator supercilii
originating on the lateral pterygoid plate,
inserts on the mandibleβs condyle
lateral pterygoid
facilitating chin protrusion and jaw opening
lateral pterygoid
aids in jaw closure
and chin protrusion
medial pterygoid
T or F
The mylohyoid and anterior digastric muscles contribute to jaw opening, extending from the hyoid bone to the inner aspect of the mandible
TRUE
Location: Between the petrous part of the temporal bone and the occipital bone
Jugular Foramen
an even more superficial midline muscle, creates horizontal rhytides at the
root of the nose
procerus
T or F
orbicularis oculi play a pivotal
role in opening the eyes depressing brows, and causing crowβs feet wrinkles
FALSE
orbicularis oculi play a pivotal
role in closing the eyes depressing brows, and causing crowβs feet wrinkles
most frequently replaced muscle in facial reanimation surgery, works alongside the
** minor to elevate the oral commissure during smiling
zygomaticus
major
nasal muscles, including the depressor septi and dilator naris, have roles in?
pulling down the nasal tip during upper lip movement and flaring the nostrils, respectively
the risorius pulls the corner of the mouth directly outward, while the buccinator
tightens the cheek to prevent food pocketing
oral
commissure
causing vertical βbunny linesβ
nasalis
The elevators of the upper lip,
- contribute to various smiling movements
levator labii superioris alaeque nasi,
levator labii superioris, and
levator anguli oris
