5 front, 5back
4 sensory 1 motor

A

Supraorbital-trigeminal; opthalamic division
Supratrochlear-trigeminal;opthalamic division
Auriculotemporal-trigeminal;mandibular division
Zygomaticofacial-trigeminal;maxillary division

List the nerves supplying the scalp, posterior to the ear and their origins

A

Great auricular C2C3
Lesser occipital C2
Greater occipital C2
Third occipital C3

Motor nerve-posterior auricular branch from facial nerve

32
Q

What is Cephalohematoma and it’s relation to pericranium

A

Collection of blood just deep to the pericranium . The blood takes the shape of the bone concerned

33
Q

Effect of blood in loose areolar tissue layer

A

leads to generalized swelling of the scalp and the blood can move to root of the nose and into the eyelids causing black eyes

34
Q

What prevent the vessels in the scalp from retracting

A

Cutaneous layer

A

If it’s a transverse cut

36
Q

Mycotic disease is?

Any disease caused by a fungus

37
Q

Xterics of tinea capitis

A

Common; mycotic;ringworm

38
Q

Xterics of pediculosis capitis

A

Hair lice infestation;pediculosis humanus capitis; everyone can get it; common in school-aged children

39
Q

The skin of the scalp is covered with hair all through

T/F

A

F. The forehead isn’t covered with hair

40
Q

Most commonest site for sebaceous cyst is?

A

The skin of the scalp

41
Q

Location of diploic veins

A

Bone of skull

42
Q

Which layer of the scalp can lobules of fat be found

A

Cutaneous layer

43
Q

The occipitofrontalis muscle contains how many bellies and list them

A

4 bellies ;

2 frontalis and 2 occipitalis bellies

44
Q

What is the natural plane of cleavage during a craniotomy

A

Loose areolar tissue layer

45
Q

Pericranium can be easily stripped at all places

T/F

A

F. At all places except where it attaches to the sutures(sutural membrane that attaches to endocardium that lines the inner surface of the skull bones)

46
Q

Origin of the frontal bellies

Insertion of the frontal bellies

A

O:skin and subcutaneous layer of eyebrows and root of nose
I:galea aponeurotica, in front of coronal suture

47
Q

Deep fiber of frontal bellies merge with - - -

A

Procerus, corrugator supercilli, orbicularis oculi

48
Q

Frontal bellies are wider , shorts and do not almost touch at their medial border

T/F

A

F.

They are wider, longer, and their medial borders almost touch

49
Q

Origin and insertion of occipital bellies

A

O:lateral 2/3 of superior nuchal line
I: epicranial aponeurosis

50
Q

Xterics of the occipital bellies

A

Small and seperate by considerable gap filled by galea aponeurotica

51
