Q

Foramen Magnum

bone

nerves & vessels

A

Bone: occipital

nerves & vessels: spinal accessory nerves (XI) and vetebral arteries

17
Q

what structures enter and exit the Pterygopalatine Fossa

A

enter: 3rd part of the maxillary artery, V2, Nerve of pterygoidcanal
exit: Infraorbitaland zygomatic nn, Greater and lesser palatine nn, Nasopalatine nerve and sphenopalatine artery

18
Q
A
19
Q

describe where the PPF is located

A

PPF lies posterior to the maxilla and anterior to the lateral pterygoid plate

20
Q

what is the significance of the ptergoidmaxillary fissure

A

It is the lateral entrance of the PPF. The maxillary artery enters the PPF from the infratemporal fossa by traveling through the pterygomaxillaryfissure.

21
Q

describe the enterance of V2 into the PPF

A

The maxillary division of CNV enters the PPF from the middle cranial fossa by traveling through the foramen rotundum.

22
Q

how do autonomics enter the PPF

A

Autonomics (nerve to the pterygoid canal) enter the PPF through the pterygoid (Vidian) canal

This opening is located inferior and medial to the foramen rotundum.

23
Q

significance of the inferior orbital fissure

A

The infraorbital and zygomatic nn exit the PPF and enter the orbit by traveling through the inferior orbital fissure

24
Q

what is the significance of the greater palatine canal

A

The greater and lesser palatine nn exit the PPF by traveling through the greater palatine canal. This canal bifurcates into the greater and lesser palatine foramina and delivers the greater and lesser palatine nerves to the roof of the oral cavity

25
Q

what is the significance of the greater palantine canal

A

The greater and lesser palatine nn exit the PPF by traveling through the greater palatine canal. This canal bifurcates into the greater and lesser palatine foramina and delivers the greater and lesser palatine nerves to the roof of the oral cavity

26
Q

significance of the sphenopalatine foramen

A

Recall that the maxillary artery enters the PPF through the pterygomaxillary fissure. A branch of that artery, the sphenopalatine artery (represented by the blue pipe cleaner), passes from the pterygopalatine fossa through the sphenopalatine foramen and into the nasal cavity

27
Q

significance of the incisive canal

A

nasopalatine nerve exits the pterygopalatine dossa here
