Scalp and Superficial Face Flashcards
5 layers of the scalp
Skin, Connective tissue, Aponeurosis, Loose connective tissue, Pericranium
Clinical relevance of the emissary V
Loose connective tissue just superior can drain into the emissary vein, which can drain into the superior sagittal sinus. This can lead to meningitis.
Loose connective tissue can transmit infection to…
scalp, around eye, and nose
Describe characteristics of the dense connective tissue in the scalp
Most vascularized, nerves
Scalp proper
Skin, connective tissue, aponeurosis
Difference between gaping and non-gaping scalp wounds
If the wound cuts coronally through the aponeurosis, muscle will pull and lead to a gaping appearance.
Which cranial nerve closes the eye?
Facial nerve
What muscle is attached to the aponeurosis of the scalp?
Occipitalis Frontalis Muscle
What direction does the neurovasculature of the scalp travel?
Inferior to superior
Where is the parotid gland?
Goes from Zygomatic Arch to Inferior Border of Mandible
What are the three major structures passing through the Parotid gland?
Facial Nerve (does not innervate gland)
Retromandibular Vein
External Carotid Artery
What muscle does the parotid duct dive into?
Buccinator Muscle
What is the sensory innervation of the parotid gland?
What is the parasympathetic innervation of the parotid gland?
Sensory: Auricolotemporal Nerve (branch of CN V3) and Great Auricular Nerve
Parasympathetic: CN IX
Why would a patient with mumps have pain in the cheek?
Parotid gland is swelling and is constricted by investing layer of deep cervical fascia and cannot expand
What part of the orbicularis oculi closes the eye tightly?
Orbital part
What part of the orbicularis oculi gently closes the eye?
Palpebral part
What cranial nerve closes the eye?
What cranial nerve opens the eye?
Closes: Cranial Nerve VII (Facial)
Opens: Cranial Nerve III (Oculomotor)
What is the embryonic origin of the muscles of facial expression?
Pharyngeal Arch 2
Mesoderm
What are the four muscles of mastication?
What cranial nerve innervates them all?
Temporalis Muscle Masseter Muscle Medial Pterygoid Muscle Lateral Pterygoid Muscle *Innervated by Cranial Nerve V3
What is the embryonic origin of the muscles of mastication?
Pharyngeal Arch 1
Mesoderm
