Scalp and Superficial Face Flashcards

1
Q

What are the layers of the scalp? What are their roles?

A

Skin
dense Connective Tissue= hold vasculature and nerves
Aponeurosis= area of potential spread of infection from back of skull to eyelids and tip of nose
Loose connective tissue= connects occipital frontalis muscle –> move skin over head wrinkle forehead
Pericranium= periosteum outside of bone, highly vascularized, innervated

Q

Where can you find emissary vein?

A

In the loose connective layer connecting outside the cranium to inside

Infections can get into dural sinus (superior saggittal sinus) causing meningitis

Q

What layers compose the scalp proper? How is this clinically significant in terms of detached scalp injuries?

A

Skin
Dense connective tissue
Aponeurosis

If you tear of scalp proper you still have most of the bloody supply/vasculature intact since runs inferior to superior so can easily reattach

Q

What is the difference between a gaping and non-gaping scalp wound?

A 
Gaping= normally coronal lesion, penetrates aponeurosis

Q

How do scalp infections occur?

A

If you have a wound that goes into the loose connective tissue layer then infiltrate emissary vein causing spread of infection in dural sinuses

Q

What connects the frontal and occipital body of the occipitofrontalis?

A

Epicranial aponeurosis

20
Q

What foes the facial nerve go through to get into face? What does it pass through before branching?

A

Styloid mastoid foramen

Parotid and then branch into motor branches

21
Q

What are the motor branches of the facial nerve?

A

“To Zanzibar By Motor Car”

Temporal
Zygomatic
Buccal
Mandibular
Cervical
22
Q

What does the sensory root of the facial nerve supply?

A

Taste to the anterior 2/3 of the tongue via the Chorda tympani (also used by submandibular and sublingual glands)

Parasympathetic fibers to the lacrimal gland, submandibular, and sublingual glands

23
Q

What carries the preganglionic parasympathetic fibers of the facial n.?

A

CN 3,7,9,10

24
Q

What carries the postganglionic parasympathetic fibers of the facial n.

A

trigeminal n.

25
Q

What nerve contributes to tears from the lacrimal gland?

A

Greater pretorsal n.

26
Q

What is Bell’s Palsy?

A

Epsilateral paralysis of muscles of facial expression

27
Q

What are the three main cutaneous branches of the trigeminal n? What do they split into?

A

Opthalmic (V1):

  • suprathrochlear and supraorbital
  • plapebral branch of lacrimal
  • infratrochlear
  • external nasl branch of anterior ethmoidal

Maxillary (V2):

  • infraorbital
  • zygomaticofacial
  • zygomaticotemporal

Mandibular (V3):

  • mental (inferior alveolar)
  • buccal
  • auriculotemporal
28
Q

What nerves are involved in sensation to the scalp?

A

CN V1: supratrochlear and supra-orbital
CN V2: zygomaticotemporal
CN V3: auriculotemporal
Anterior rami of greater auricular and lesser occipital (C2 and C3)
Postrior rami of greater occipital (C2) and third occipital (C3)

29
Q

What nerve provides motor innervation to the muscles of mastication?

A

Trigeminal, V3, Mandibular branch

30
Q

How is the trigeminal nerve related to herpes zoster/shingles?

A

latent virus in dorsal root of the trigeminal
Shingles cause reactivation of virus so then the distribution of the virus is based on if its V1 V2 or V3

Can also have shingles in sensory ganglion and get pattern that follows dermatomes on arm and torso

31
Q

What does the angular a. anastomose with?

A

Super trochlear a.

32
Q

What does the supra orbital a. anastomose with?

A

superficial temporal a.

33
Q

Where doe the supraorbital and supratrochlear a. come from? Which one is more medial?

A

The ophthalmic artery which is a branch of the internal carotid

supraorbital a.

34
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the facial artery?

A

External Carotid a.

Ascends deep to submandibular gland winds around inferior border of mandible and enters face

Muscles of facial expression and face

35
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the superior and inferior labial a.?

A

Facial a. near angle of the mouth

Run medially in upper and lower lip

Inferior= lower lip
Superior= upper lip, ala, and spetum of nose
36
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the anuglar a.?

A

terminal branch of facial a.

Passes to medial angle of eye

superior part of cheek and inferior eyelid

37
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the lateral nasal a.?

A

Facial artery as it ascends alongside nose

Passes to ala of nose

skin to ala and dorsum of nose

38
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the occipital a.?

A

External carotid a.

Passes medial to posterior belly of digastric and mastoid process, accompanies occipital nerve in occipital region

Scalp of back of head as far as vertex

39
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the posterior auricular a.?

A

External carotid a.

Passes posteriorly, deep to parotid gland along styloid process between mastoid process and ear

Auricle of ear and scalp posterior to auricle

40
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the superficial temporal a?

A

Small terminal branch of external carotid

Ascends anterior to ear to region and ends in scalp

Facial muscles and skin of temporal frontal and temporal regions

41
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the transverse facial a?

A

Superficial temporal a. within parotid

Crosses superficial to masseter and inferior to zygomatic arch

Parotid gland and duct, muscles and skin of face

42
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the mental a.?

A

Terminal branch of inferior alveolar a.

Emerges from mental foramen and passes to chin

Facial muscles of skin and chin

43
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the supra-orbital a.?

A

Terminal branch of ophthalmic a.

Passes superiorly from supra-orbital foramen

Muscles and skin of forehead and scalp and superior conjunctiva

44
Q

What is the origin, course, and distribution of the supratrochlear a.?

A

Terminal branch of ophthalmic a.

Passes superiorly from supratrochlear notch

Muscles and skin of forehead and scalp and superior conjunctiva

45
Q

What important veins of the face drain into the cavernous sinus?

A

Superior and inferior opthalmic veins: from eye also connect with angular

Angular vein

Deep facial vein: connect to pterygoid venous plexus –> cavernous sinus
