WEEK 8 Flashcards
Neurovascular bundles may be
superficial - lying in the subcutaneous layer
deep - lying in the muscle layers
Anastomoses may occur between veins in
superficial deep and neurovascular bundles
the head has both superficial and deep arterial/venous supply but only a
superficial lymphatic drainage system
what are some extracranial vessels?
common carotid artery, facial artery, lingual artery, external carotid artery, superficial temporal artery, maxillary artery and its branches
what are some intracranial vessels?
internal carotid artery and its branches, and vertebral artery
What is the origin of the external carotid artery
terminal branch of the common carotid artery
what is the level of origin of the external carotid artery?
the upper border of the thyroid cartilage
what is the termination of the external carotid artery?
divides into the superficial temporal and maxillary artery
what is the level of termination of the external carotid artery?
neck of the mandible
What makes up the neurovascular bundle of the neck
Internal Jugular vein, vagus nerve, and carotid arteries
What are the branches and levels of the external carotid artery?
superior thyroid artery below the level of the greater cornu of the hyoid bone
lingual artery at the level of the greater cornu
facial artery just above the greater cornu
What is the origin of the facial artery?
Branch of the external carotid artery
what is the level of origin of the facial artery?
above greater cornu of hyoid bone
what is the termination of the facial artery?
medial angle of the eye - continues as angular artery
What are the branches of the facial artery?
inferior labial, superior labial, lateral nasal
What is the origin of the maxillary artery?
Terminal branch of the external carotid artery
what is the level of origin of the maxillary artery?
posterior to the neck of the mandible
what is a major anatomical relationship of the maxillary artery?
inferior alveolar nerve
what are the branches of the maxillary artery?
inferior alveolar artery
middle meningeal artery
posterior superior alveolar artery
branches that supply muscles of mastication
buccal branch
greater and descending palatine arteries
Which arteries are in the pterygopalatine fossa?
descending to greater and lesser palatine
posterior alveolar
Which branches of the maxillary artery are in the infratemporal fossa?
buccal, middle meningeal, inferior alveolar
what is the origin of the superficial temporal artery?
its a terminal branch of the external carotid artery
what is the level of origin of the superficial temporal artery?
neck of the mandible
what is the area of supply of the superficial temporal artery?
anterior scalp
where does the internal carotid artery pass through
carotid canal
where does the internal carotid canal lie in the skull?
petrous part of temporal bone
what does the internal carotid canal anastomose with at the base of the brain?
vertebral artery
how does the vertebral artery enter the brain?
through the foramen magnum
where does the vertebral artery terminate?
at the basilar artery
what is the opthalmic artery a branch of?
internal carotid artery
how does the opthalmic artery leave the cranial cavity?
via optic canal
what does the opthalmic artery provide?
eye, extracranial branches to skin of forehead, scalp, and nasal cavity
what are the three types of facial anastomoses
right to left
superficial to deep
between branches of internal and external carotid arteries
what is an example of right to left anastomoses?
terminal branches of facial artery
