Superficial Face and Parotid Flashcards
sensory innervation over the face comes from which nerve?
trigeminal nerve, CN 5
what are the three divisions of the trigeminal nerve
ophthalmic division (V1) maxillary division (V2) mandibular division (V3)
-three twins; three paired divisions
the ophthalmic division branches into what five nerves
supraorbital nerve supratrochlear lacrimal infratrochlear neerve external nasal nerve
where does the trigeminal nerve come from?
lateral aspect of the pons, follows into the trigeminal ganglion
where does the supraorbital nerve travel?
middle of eyebrow, travels upward up the forward and over the top head
largest branch of ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve
where does the supratrochlear nerve travel
medial to the supraorbital nerve; inner portion of the eyebrow up to the middle of the forehead
medial to the supraorbital nerve; inner portion of the eyebrow up to the middle of the forehead
supratrochlear nerve trajectory
middle of eyebrow, travels upward up the forward and over the top head
largest branch of ophthalmic branch of the trigeminal nerve
supraorbital nerve trajectory
where does the infratrochlear nerve travel?
travels from inner edge of eyebrow downward to corner of the eye
-between trochlea and medial angle of the yee
where does the lacrimal nerve travel
travels from outer edge of eyebrow downward toward middle of the eye
-superior and lateral
where does the external nasal nerve travel?
on nose
-immediately inferior to nasal bone
the maxillary division branches into what three nerves
infraorbital
zygomaticofacial
zygomaticotemporal
where does the infraorbital nerve travel?
comes out of the skull under the middle of the eye, inferiorly
through the infraorbital foramen
where does the zygomaticotemporal nerve travel?
pierces the temporal fascia and travels superiorly up the side of the face
where does the zygomaticofacial nerve travel
comes out of skill medial to the ear on side of face and travels inferiorly
the mandibular division of the trigeminal nerve branches into what three nerves
auriculotemporal nerve
buccal nerve
mental nerve
the auriculotemporal nerve travels with what artery?
superficial temporal artery
the auriculotemporal nerve travels where?
comes out of skull slightly medial to the ear on the side of face and travels superiorly
the buccal nerve (sensory) travels where
to cheek
the mental nerve travels where
to chin and lower lip
what components travels through the superficial fascia of the face?
muscles of facial expression
blood vessels, motor nerves to facial muscles, sensory nerves to skin
what are the three kinds of deep fascia of the face?
parotid fascia
buccopharyngeal fascia
temporal fascia
- covers the buccinator muscle
- extends posteriorly to cover the pharyngeal constrictor muscle
buccopharyngeal fascia
