Question 6

layers of scalp

Answer 6

Question 7

Aponeurosis

Answer 7

also called the epicranial aponeurosis/ galea aponeurotica- connects the bellies of the frontalis to occipitalis

a scalp wound gapes which layer has been penetrated

Answer 8

aponeurosis because the muscles are contracting-causes lots of bleeding

i- Angle of mouth (modiolus)

i- Facial nerve (CN VII)

a- Draws angle of mouth backward and upward (smile)

g- Facial expression

Question 22

innervation of facial expression

Answer 22

• facial nerve (CNV11)- comes out of styloid mastoid foramen
• gives off a posterior auricular branch that goes to the occipital
• and a major branch goes to the parotid gland anterior branch: branches of facial nerve:
• To Zanzibar By Motor Car:
• Temporal, zygomatic, buccal, marginal mandibular, cervical
• injury to facial nerve will cause drooping- Bell’s Palsy

Question 23

innervation of the skin of the face/scalp

Answer 23

• trigeminal nerve CN V (trigeminal neurolgia/ tic douloureux- sudden pain in face) mid pons level
  
  • CN V1 (ophthamic)
  • CN V2 (maxillary)
  • CN V3 (mandibular)
• C2
• C3

trigeminal ganglia (dorsal root ganglia of face) all the cell bodies that are getting sensory information from the face

Question 24

superficial arterial supply of the face and scalp

Answer 24

• external carotid (facial a, superficial temporal a., and transverse facial a)
  
  • fascial a.- palpable anterior to masseter m
    
    • superior and inferior labial branches
    • becomes angular a. at inner eye corner
• internal carotid (supratrochlear a., supraorbital a)

Question 25

superficial venous supply of the face and scalp

Answer 25

* angular v.-\>facial v. (veins are posterior to arteries in face) * superficial temporal v. +maxillary v.-\> retromandibular v. * retromandibular v. splits into an anterior and a posterior branch * anterior branch joins facial v.-\>internal jugular * post. branch joins auricular v.-\>external jug * cavernous sinus anastomoses with all veins, no valves- danger triangle 9nose)
