Unit 3: The neck and face Flashcards
Submental subdivision of anterior triangle
body of hyoid, anterior belly or digastric, mandibular symphysis, includes suprahyoid muscles, lymph nodes and mylohyoid, origin of anterior jugular
Submandibular subdivision of anterior triangle
inferior mandible, anterior and posterior digastric, conains submandibular gland, portion of hypoglossal nerve, facial artery and vein, and suprahyoid muscles
Carotid subdivision of anterior triangle
Superior belly of omohyoid, anterior SCM, posterior belly of digastric, contains common carotid, internal jugular, vagus, carotid body and sinus
Muscular subdivision of anterior triangle
midline of neck, superior belly of omohyoid, anterior SCM, contains infrahyoid muscles, parathyroid glands
Mylohyoid
N: mylohyoid A elevates hyoid, floor of mouth and tongue during swallowing and speaking
Stylohyoid
N: stylohyoid branch of facial nerve A elevate and retract hyoid
Geniohyoid
N: C1 of hypoglossal A: pulls hyoid anerosuperioly, shorten floor of mouth, widens pharynx
Digastric
N: (anterior) mylohyoid, (posterior) digastric branch of facial A: elevate and steady hyoid, depresses mandible against resistance
Innervation of the face
CN V trigeminal: sensory, motor for muscles of mastication; CN VII facial: motor
First branch of trigeminal
Opthalmic V1: purely sensory; supra-orbital, supratrochlear, infratrochlear: innervates scalp, forehead and lacrimal glands*
Second branch of trigeminal
Maxillary V2; infraorbital (teeth, eyelid, top lip), zygomaticotemporal (temple), zygomaticofacial (skin on cheek)
Third branch of trigeminal
Mandibular V3; sensory and motor: mental (skin of lip and chin), buccal (cheek, gums), auriculotemporal (ear)
Bell’s Palsy
loss of innervation of facial muscles; loss of facial tone and expression
Occipitofrontalis
Front belly (elevates eyebrows and wrinkles skin of forehead), occipital belly (retracts scalp, synergist to front), obicularis oculi (closes eyelid; palpebral and orbital parts)
Levator labii superioris
part of dilator of mouth, elevate upper lip, show sadness
