Superficial Face and Scalp Flashcards
What is the danger zone of the scalp?
loose connective tissue/loose subaponeurotic tissue
What are the two major arteries that supply the face?
facial and superficial temporal arteries
What is the sensory innervation by the face?
trigeminal nerve (V1, V2, V3), the anterior rami and posterior rami of the cervical plexus
What nerve branch does Herpes Zoster (shingles) affect?
the right frontal nerve (first branch of the trigeminal nerve)
What is a rash expressed in the target tissues of infected nerves such as the ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerve?
Herpes Zoster
______ does not have any sort of rash or other symptoms but sufferers have “paroxysmal” or “lacinating” pain in one or two trigeminal divisions and an episode is often triggered by a light touch or breeze.
Trigeminal neuralgia
Name three facial features that contribute significantly to individual appearance.
- size of superciliary arches
- shape of the cheeks
- nose and lips
True or False? The size and strength of the pulse of the superficial temporal is easily palpated and should be roughly symmetrical.
True
Where are the muscles of facial expression located?
In the superficial fascia of the head and neck
What is the motor innervation of the muscles of facial expression?
facial nerve (CN VII)
_______ originates from the medial part of the superciliary arch deep to the orbicularis oculi. It inserts in the skin (dermis) near the supraorbital foramen.
corrugator
______ lies superficial to the nasal bone and originates from this and the upper part of the lateral nasal cartilage and attaches to the skin at the root of the nose.
procerus
______ consists of a larger transverse portion which originates and a smaller alar portion both of which originates from the maxillary bone roughly at the level of the incisor. The former inserts by interdigitating with the opposite muscle in a nasal aponeurosis while the latter insert into the alar cartilage.
nasalis
_______ orbital part originates from the medial part of the medial palpebral ligament, the nasal part of the frontal bone, and the frontal process of the maxilla. The fibers encircles the eye and inserts into the lateral palpebral raphe and frontalis muscle, corrugator muscle, and the tarsi. The palpebral portion also arises from the medial palpebral ligament and lacrimal crest and laterally the fibers of both lid interdigitate at the lateral palpebral raphe. These muscles are responsible for closing the eye.
orbicularis oculi
The muscles that move the upper mouth include the _______ (6) originates from the maxilla above the infraorbital foramen and inserts into the upper lip.
levator labii superioris alaque nasi levator labii superioris, levator anguli oris, zygomaticus major, zygomaticus minor, risorius
________ originate from the frontal process of the maxilla and inserts in the upper lip and alar cartilage of the nose.
levator labii superioris alaque nasi
_______ originates from the canine fossa of the maxillary bone below the infraorbital foramen and deep to the levator labii superioris. This muscle covers the infraorbital foramen.
levator anguli oris
