Q

What is the most expressive part of the face?

A

-the mouth -> muscles are diverse

19
Q

What do the branches of the facial nerve exit the skull through?

A

-stylomastoid foramen

20
Q

What are the branches of the facial nerve?

A
  • posterior auricular n
  • temporal branch
  • zygomatic branch
  • buccal branch
  • mandibular branch
  • cervical branch

“The zebra bit my cheek”

21
Q

What are the other functions of the facial nerve?

A

SVA: sense of taste to anterior 2/3 of tongue

GVE: parasympathetics (lacrimal gland, submandibular/sublingual salivary glands, and mucus membranes of nasal cavity)

GVA: sensory innervation to nasopharynx

22
Q

What provides arterial supply to the face and scalp?

A
  • external carotid a and branches
  • facial a
  • occipital a
  • posterior auricular a
  • maxillary a
  • superficial temporal a
23
Q

What does the facial artery supply? What are its branches?

A

-major arterial supply to the face, supplies most of muscles of facial expression

-branches:
  \+inferior labial
   \+superior labial
   \+lateral nasal
   \+angular
24
Q

What does he occipital a supply?

A

-scalp of the back of the head

25
Q

What does the posterior auricular a supply?

A

-auricle of ear and scalp posterior to auricle

26
Q

What does the maxillary a supply?

A

Most branches run deep

-mental artery is only superficial branch (runs with mental n to chin)

27
Q

What does the superficial temporal a supply?

A

-facial muscles ad skin in temporal region

28
Q

What supplies muscles and skin of forehead and anterior scalp?

A
  • supraorbital a

- supratrochlear a

29
Q

What is the parotid gland? Where is it located? Innervation?

A
  • largest salivary gland -> duct delivers saliva to oral cavity just lateral to 2nd upper molar teeth
  • located laterally in the face, just anterior to the ear
  • receives sensory innervation from great auricular nerve
  • parasympathetic innervation from glossopharyngeal n via post auricular
30
Q

What supples the orbit and eyeball?

A

-mainly via the opthalamic a from internal carotid a

31
Q

What drains the orbit and eyeball?

A

-venous drainage via the superior and inferior opthalamic veins

32
Q

What composed the fibrous layer of the eyeball?

A
  • sclera: opaque outer covering

- cornea: transparent part of sclera

33
Q

What composes the vascular layer of the eyeball?

A
  • Choroid: between sclera and retina, very vascular
  • ciliary body: muscular, controls thickness of lens, secretes aqueous humor
  • iris
34
Q

What is in the inner layer of the eyeball?

A

-retina

35
Q

Where is the anterior chamber?

A

-between cornea adn iris/pupil

36
Q

Where is the posterior chamber?

A

-between iris/pupil and lens

37
Q

What provides the general somatic efferents to the extrinsic eye muscles?

A
  • oculomotor n
  • trochlear n
  • abducens n
38
Q

What provides parasympathetics to extrinsic eye muscles and to what muscles?

A
  • oculomotor -> pupillary sphincter m and ciliary m

- facial n -> lacrimal gland via greater petrosal n

39
Q

What provides sensory?

A

CN V1

40
Q

What provides vision?

A

-optic n/CN 1

41
Q

What innervates extrinsic eye muscles?

A
  • trochlear n -> superior oblique
  • abducens n -> lateral rectus
  • oculomotor n -> medial rectus, inferior rectus, superior rectus, inferior oblique, levator palpebrae
42
Q

What is the iris capable of? What controls this?

A
  • pigmented and capable of constricting to control how much light enters the pupil
  • dilator pupillae: dilates, under sympathetic control
  • sphincter pupillae: constricts, under parasympathetic control
43
Q

What controls accommodation?

A

-suspensory ligaments from ciliary body go to lens to control focus
+relaxed -> tension on suspensory ligaments -> lens stretched out for FAR vision
+contracts _? Suspensory ligaments relaxed -> lens beocomes fatter for NEAR vision

  • to view near objects, parasympathetics are activated to contract ciliary muscle
  • to view far objects, parasympathetics are removed, allowing the ciliary to relax -> NO sympathetics
44
Q

What nerve is responsible for the motor muscles of mastication???

A

Trigeminal nerve
