Q

Trigeminal Neuralgia

A

AKA tic douloureux. Disorder of sensory root of CNV. Sudden sharp pain in face, 15-20 minutes. Maxillary nerve usually involved. Cause unknown

23
Q

Muscles of Facial Expression

A

Lie in the superficial fascia Attached partly to the skin. Enable us to move the skin of the face and change our facial expressions. Do not move bones of the face. All muscles of the facial expression are innervated by the facial nerve. There is no distinct deep fascia on the face. Facial lacerations gape widely. Muscles are arranged around the natural openings of the face and act as sphincters.

24
Q

Orbicularis Oculi

A

Sphincter muscle of the orbit. Has an orbital portion and palpebral portion. Produces crows feet – wrinkling of the skin lateral to the orbit.

25
Orbicularis Oculi Orbital
Concious eye closure
26
Orbicularis Oculi Palpebral
Unconcious eyelid movement
27
Depressor Anguli Oris
Trangular muscle. Depresses corners of mouth.
28
Zygomatic Major
Extend from the zygomatic bone to the lateral corner of the mouth. act to raise the corner of the mouth and the upper lip (Smiling!) Same fxn as minor, different attachment
29
Zygomatic Minor
Extend from the zygomatic bone near orbicularis oculi to the lateral corner of the mouth. act to raise the corner of the mouth and the upper lip (Smiling!) Same fxn as major different attachment
30
Levator labii superioris
Descends from the infraorbital margin to the upper lip. Acts to raise the upper lip
31
Levator anguli oris
Extends from the maxilla (below the infraorbital foramen) to the corner of the mouth. Raises the corner of the mouth
32
Depressor Labii Inferioris
Attached inferiorly to the mandible and superiorly blends with the orbicularis oris muscle. Depresses the lower lip
33
Buccinator
Attached to the alveolar processes of the mandible and maxilla and the pterygomandibular raphe. Aids in mastication (but is not a muscle of mastication. Keeps cheek taut so you don't bite it! Used in whistling.
34
Orbicularis Oris
Sphincter muscle of the mouth/oral cavity. Encircles the mouth and forms a prominence of the upper and lower lips. When contractly, mouth is closed. Comprssed tips against lips, holds food during mastication.
35
Platsyma
Lies in superficial fascia. Blends with skin above mandible. Depresses mandible and stops neck from wrinkling/folding.
36
Muscles of Scalp
Occipitalis and frontalis (Often considered one muscle: occipitofrontalis, connected by epicranial aponeurosis). The two bellies of the muscle are interconnected by a tendinous sheath known as the epicranial aponeurosis No bony attachments Produces a surprised look when contracted
37
Motor Innervation of Superficial Face Muscles
Facial Nerve (CNVII), exits parotid and gives off 5 branches: To Zanzibar By Motor Car. Temporal, Zygomatic, Buccal, Marginal Mandibular, Cervical
38
Temporal
proceeds superiorly slightly anterior to the ear
39
Zygomatic
courses towards the corner of the eye
40
Buccal (Facial)
motor to the muscles over the cheek area
41
Mandibular
proceeds inferomedially across the mandible
42
Cervical
courses below the mandible to supply the platysma
43
Bells Palsy
Damage to CNVII or its branches producing paralysis in some or all of the muscles it innervates
44
Facial Artery
Usually the 4th branch of the external carotid. crosses the mandible (slightly anterior to the angle) and then follows a sinuous course across the face to the medial angle of the eye. Compression of facial artery - done at the mandible but does not stop bleeding completely because of anastomosis with the facial artery on the other side of the face. Branches to inferior labial, superior labial, and angular arteries.
45
Inferior labial artery
Branches from facial artery. Supplies blood to lower lip
46
Superior labial artery
Branches from facial artery. Supplies blood to upper lip
47
Angular Artery
Terminal part of facial artery. Medial corner of eye.
48
Superficial Temporal Artery
One of the terminal Branches of the External Carotid Artery. Branches into 3 to supply face and scalp: transverse facial, parietal, and frontal
49
Transverse Facial Artery
Branch of superficial temporal artery. Follows parotid duct transversely across the face
50
Parietal Artery
Branch of superficial temporal artery. Supplies lateral part of scalp
51
Frontal Artery
Branch of superficial temporal artery. Supplies anterior part of scalp.
52
Facial Vein
Begins as angular vein at root of nose. No valves, so reflux of infection in danger area (triangle around nose) is a signifcant risk. Makes connections with the cavernous sinus and the pterygoid plexus of vein
