Review of Suprahyoid Region, Facial Muscles and Parotid Gland Flashcards
mylohyoid muscles
attachment innervation
attachment suprahyoid muscle
mylohyoid line of the mandible to the hyoid bone
innervated by the nerve to the mylohyoid
geniohyoid
attachment innervation
attachment deep to the mylohyoid and attaches at the mental spine of the mandible –> to the hyoid
innervation - C1 via the hypoglossal nerve
Digastric
attachment innervation
+ regions
attachment of anterior: digastric fossa of the mandible
posterior: mastoid notch (temporal bone? i think)
MEET AT THE INTERMEDIATE TENDON TO ATTACH ON THE HYOID
innervation is different for anterior and posterior
anterior = nerve to mylohyoid
posterior innervation = facial nerve
stylohyoid
attachment innervation
attachment : styloid process of temporal bone to the hyoid
innervation : facial nerve
function of the suprahyoid muscles
collectively, the suprahyoids make up a significant part of the floor of the mouth and elevate the hyoid and larynx
hypoglossal nerve
course
CN XII
leaves the skull through the hypoglossal canal and descends almost vertically in the neck to a level just below the angle of the mandible
here (just below angle of mandible) angles sharply forward and crosses the external carotid artery
it continues forward and crosses the lingual artery
the hypoglossal travels DEEP to the mylohyoid muscle to reach the tongue
hypoglossal location in relation to the mylohyoid muscle
can be found DEEP to this muscle
location of muscles of facial expression
facial muscles - are in the subcutaneous tissue of the anterior and posterior scalp, face, and neck
most muscles of facial expression attach where
to bone or fascia and produce their effects by pulling the skin
development of muscles of facial expression
all develop from the mesoderm in the SECOND PHARYNGEAL ARCHES
CLINICAL NOTE; FACIAL SWELLING
The face has no distinct deep fascia and the subcutaneous tissue between the cutaneous attachments of the facial muscles is loose
the looseness of the subcutaneous tissue ENABLES FLUID AND BLOOD TO ACCUMULATE IN THE LOOSE CONNECTIVE TISSUE
- swelling is evident after removal of wisdom teeth
occipitofrontalis
Attachment
Action
Innervation
occipitofrontals is a flat digastric muscle, with occipital and frontal bellies that share a common tendon, the epicranial aponeurosis
occipital belly attaches to the superior nuchal line
the frontal belly inserts into the skin and subcutaneous tissue of eyebrows and forehead
Action: independent contraction of the occipital belly retracts the scalp and contraction of the frontal belly protracts it
innervation:
occipital belly - posterior auricular branch of facial nerve
frontal belly - temporal branches of facial nerve
epicranial aponeurosis
common tendon of the occipital and the frontal bellies of the occipitofrontalis muscle
(facial expression muscle)
- broad, strong, tendinous sheet that serves as the attachment for the occipitofrontalis
this is avascular and considered LAYER 3 of the scalp (5 total layers)
there is a lot of tension here so if laceration occurs on the skull –> will have a pretty big gap
5 layers of the scalp
- skin
- connective tissue
- epicranial aponeurosis (remember avascular)
- loose areolar tissue
- pericranium
literally spells scalp if use (a) for epicranial aponeurosis
skin layer of scalp
thin, except in the occipital region, containing many sweat and subaceous glands and hair follicles
connective tissue layer of the scalp
forms the thick, dense, richly vascularized subcutaneous ;ayer that is well supplied with cutaneous nerves
epicranial aponeurosis layer/role in scalp
LAYER 3
This broad, strong, tendinous sheet that serves as the attachment for the occipitofrontalis muscle
loose aerolar tissue layer of scalp
4th layer
this allows the movement/gliding along of the epicranial aponeurosis
Pericranium
layer 5 of the scalp - part of the periosteum
dense layer of connective tissue that forms the external periosteum of the neurocranium
muscles of the mouth, lips, and cheeks
Orbicularis oris –> spincter around the mouth
Buccinator in the cheeck
elevators, retractors, and evertors (rotating upwards) of the upper lip
depressors, retractors, and evertors of lower lip
Orbicularis Oris Attachments Action Innervation Description
Attachments: Medial maxilla and mandible, and angle of the mouth –> INSERTS within the mucous membrane of the lips
Action: Tonic (resting state of muscle) is closing the mouth/ closes mouth
PHASIC: compresses tand protrudes lips (kissing face)
Innervation : Buccal and marginal mandibular branches of facial nerve
Description : encircles the mouth within the lips, controlling entry and exit through the oral fissure
also important in speech /articulation
