scalp and superficial face Flashcards

1
Q

what are the 5 layers of the scalp? and what is considered the “scalp proper”?

A
  • from superficial to deep: SCALP
    1. skin
    2. (dense) connective tissue
    3. aponeurosis
    4. loose connective tissue
    5. pericranium
  • *scalp proper is the first 3 layers (skin–> aponeurosis)

Q

how are detached scalp injuries treated

A
  • *detachment of the scalp proper
  • can be sown back on because of the rich nuerovascular supply
  • the neurovasculature runs inferior to superior allowing a inverted U shape flap to be made on top the head during surgery while avoiding the important NV structures needed for healing

Q

what is the difference between gaping and non-gaping wounds of the scalp injuries

A

gaping - means injury cut through the aponeurosis layer

non-gaping means the injury is in the skin or dense CT layer (dense CT causes lots of blood)

Q

what is mumps

A

a viral infection of the salivary glands

-you get a sore cheek because the fascia covering the parotid gland does not allow swelling and therefore causes pain

Q

what is located inside the parotid gland? what are other anatomical relationships around it?

A
  1. CN 7 (facial) [**no innervation just passing] *where the facial nerves splits into 5 branches
  2. retromandibular V.
  3. external carotid A.

**massester muscle deep to it , facial A. and V. run superiorly over

A
  1. elevates lips to help smile
  2. depresses lips to help frown
    CN7
18
Q

function of risorius muscle

A

draws back angle of mouth to help smile

CN 7

19
Q

zygmaticus major muscle function

A

draws up corner of mouth to help smile

CN7

20
Q

what innervates muscles of mastication? what are the muscles ?

A

V3- mandibular N. {from CN 5 trigeminal }

temporalis M.
Massester M.
Medial Pterygoid M.
lateral pterygoid M.

21
Q

what are the muscles innervated by V3 mandibular branch of trigeminal nerve

A
  1. mylohyoid M .
  2. anterior belly of the digastric M.
  3. tensor tympani M.
  4. tensor palatini
  5. mastication muscles
22
Q

in the superficial facial, the facial N. exits the _____ and passes through the _____ to give 5 motor nerve branches to innervate facial muscles. what are the 5 branches?

A
  • exits stylomastoid foramen
  • passes through parotid
  1. temporal
  2. zygomatic
  3. buccal
  4. mandibular
  5. cervical
23
Q

what is the function of the sensory part of facial nerve

A

taste on anterior 2/3 tongue via chorda tympani *

*PNS to lacrimal gland for tears and submandibular, sublingual salivary glands

24
Q

what innervates the dura matter

A

trigeminal nerve

25
Q

what does herpes zoster cause

A
  • shingles or chicken pox
  • cause: herpes zoster is a virus that lays dormant in the sensory ganglia
  • if it was the sensory ganglia of trigeminal nerve then the outbreaks of shingles would follow the nerve pattern
  • *V1 is a common site for it to lay dormant therefore causing a breakout over the superior part of the face on affected side
  • *can only get shingles if had chicken pox, so get vaccinated
26
Q

T/F

superiror and inferior labial A. off facial A. anatamose around lip

A

true

27
Q

what anastomoses with superficial temporal A. frontal branch

A

superficial orbital A.

ECA – ICA anatomosis

28
Q

angular A. anastomoses with what

A

trochlear A. right below eye

29
Q

do the brain and tongue have anatomsoses ?

A

no!!! loss of supply will end in ischemia

30
Q

A
  1. Supraorbital N. (from V1)

2. supratrochlear N. ( from V1)

31
Q

infraorbital N. branches from what nerve and supplies cutaneous innervation to what

A
