Q

What’s the Nerve supply of the parotid gland?

A
  • Parasympathetic (secretomotor):
    • Reach gland through auriculotemporal nerve
  • Sympathetic:
    • from plexus around external carotid artery.
  • Sensory supply:
    • Auriculo-temporal nerve (a branch of posterior division of mandibular nerve)
20
Q

What’s the Blood supply of the parotid gland?

A
  • Arterial supply:
    • external carotid artery + its 2-terminal branches (maxillary and superficial temporal artery)
  • Venous drainage:
    • The 2-veins (maxillary & superficial temporal veins) drain into the retromandibular vein
  • Lymphatic:
    • parotid lymph nodes which finally drain into deep cervical lymph nodes
21
Q

Parotid gland infection (mumps) is presented in what year? What’s the pathogen causing it? What’s the symptoms shown?

A
  • Present at 4 – 6 years old
  • Uncommon due to MMR vaccine
  • Pathogen: mumps virus (a paramyxovirus)
  • Presentation: painful parotid swelling (may
    involve submandibular and sublingual glands)
22
Q

Define Submandibular Gland, mention it’s site

A

It is a lobulated mass, located deep to the body of the mandible (submandibular fossa)

23
Q

Submandibular Gland is formed of two parts what are they?

A

• Large Superficial Part
• Small Deep Part: lies deep to mylohyoid and superficial to hyoglossus

24
Q

The Large Superficial Part lies in

A

lies in digastric triangle between mylohyoid & body of mandible (superficial to mylohyoid)

25
Q

The Small Deep Part lies in?

A

lies deep to mylohyoid and superficial to hyoglossus

26
Q

Sub. M deep part is continuous with?

A

superficial part around posterior border of mylohyoid muscle.

27
Q

Submandibular (wharton’s) duct emerges from?
Where does it open?

A
  • deep part of the gland
  • The duct opens in floor of mouth at summit
    of sublingual papilla close to frenulum of
    tongue
28
Q

Anatomical relationship of the Submandibular

A
  1. Lingual nerve
  2. Hypoglossal nerve
  3. Anterior facial vein
  4. Facial artery
  5. Marginal mandibular branch of facial nerve
29
Q

The submandibular duct opens on …… close to ……

A
  • summit of sublingual papilla
  • frenulum of tongue
30
Q

Submandibular Gland arterial supply and lymphatic drainage?

A
  • Arterial Supply :
    branches of facial & lingual arteries
  • Lymph drainage :
    submandibular + deep cervical lymph nodes
31
Q

Submandibular Gland nerve supply?

A
  1. Parasympathetic: secretomotor fibers from superior salivary nucleus of 7th C.N. (facial nerve) —> via chorda tympani nerve —> to join lingual nerve and pass into submandibular ganglion, then postganglionic parasympathetic secretory fibers from ganglion via lingual nerve into gland
  2. Sympathetic fibers: from plexus of nerves around Facial + Lingual arteries
  3. Sensory: lingual nerve
32
Q

Which nerve of the S. Mandibular is commonly
injured and why?

A

during excision a tumor of the submandibular salivary gland, so the patient complains of loss of general sensation of anterior 2/3 of the tongue after
the operation

33

Sialolithiasis

34
Q

Sialolithiasis is most common in?

submandibular gland (80–90%)

35
Q

Sialolithiasis is associated with?

A

gout (Uric acid) and smoking

36
Q

What’s the smallest salivary gland!

A

Sublingual salivary gland

37
Q

Sublingual salivary gland shape/site

A
  • almond shaped with wide anterior end & narrow posterior end
    -It lies in sublingual fossa of the mandible
38
Q

The ducts of the sublingual glands are called

A

Bartholin’s ducts

39
Q

Relations of the Sublingual salivary gland
(Sup-Inf-Lat)

A

1) Superiorly: mucous membrane of floor of mouth
2) Inferiorly: mylohyoid muscle
3)Laterally: sublingual fossa of mandible

40

A

Cyst

44
Q

Cyst are either/or

A

•Extravasation cyst result from trauma to overlying mucosa.
•Mucous retention cyst in the floor of the mouth due to obstruction.

45
Q

What is Ranula?

A

extravasation cyst that arises from sublingual gland
